美国双边投资协议中签约双方负面清单的比较研究

The Study on the Negative List Comparison between the Two Sides of the U.S.BITs

本文基于美国已签署的47个双边投资协议,以美方负面清单涉及的六大领域为参照,把美国签约对方负面清单的项目划分为四大类:一是与美方表述完全一致的项目;二是表述略有差异但内涵相近的项目;三是在美方限制领域之内,但内涵超出美方内涵的项目;四是超出美方限制领域的项目。基于上述分类标准,本文全面梳理和归纳了这四类项目的行业分布和国别分布特征,然后分析了在中美双边投资协议谈判中,中国把不同行业列入负面清单的谈判难度。本文对中国在中美双边投资协议谈判中选择恰当的谈判策略具有参考意义。

Based on the 47 U.S.BITs,and according to the six investment restriction domains in the U.S.negative lists,the items in the negative lists of the U.S.BIT counter-parties could be sorted into four categories：items are exactly the same as the U.S.items;items are different from but have the same implications with the U.S.items;items have different implication but within the domain of the U.S.negative lists;items exceed the domain of the U.S.negative lists.This paper gives a comprehensive study on the sector and country distribution characteristics of the four types of items in the negative lists of the U.S.BIT counter？parties,and then analyzes the negotiation difficulty in listing different industries in negative lists by China in China-U.S.BIT negotiations.It has reference significance for China to select proper strategy in the China-U.S.BIT negotiations.
