中国正处于世界经济体系的“准中心”地位——确立“中心-准中心-半外围-外围”新理论

China Sits in a Quasi-Central Position in the World Economic System——Establishment a New Theory of "Center/Quasi-Center/Semi-Periphery/Periphery"

本文在阐述国外"中心—外围""中心—半外围—外围"理论的基础上,通过国民生产总值、外贸、金融、对外投资和援助、综合竞争力、"一带一路"等指标及其国内外数据分析,说明中国虽然与主要中心国家尚存差距,但其取得的长足进步,明显区别于外围或"半外围"国家,须用"准中心"这一新概念来客观描述和界定2012年以来的新时代中国在世界经济体系中的地位和作用。"准中心"概念是对"中心—外围"二元理论的补充和创新,形成"中心-准中心-外围"或"中心-准中心-半外围—外围"三层结构或四层结构新理论。

Based on the orthodox"Center-Periphery"Theory and"Core/Semi-Periphery/Periphery"Theory,bythe analysis of indicators such as GNP,foreign trade,finance,foreign investment and assistance,comprehensive competitiveness,"one belt and one road"and other domestic and international data,this article argues that although there is still a gap between China and the major central countries,the great progress it has made is obviously different from that of the peripheral or semi-peripheral countries.The new concept of"quasi-center"should be used to objectively describe and define the position and role of China in the world economic system in the new era since 2012.The concept of"quasi-center"is a supplement and innovation to the dual theory of"center-periphery".It forms a new theory of"center-quasi-center-periphery"or"center-quasi-centersemi-periphery-periphery"three-layer structure or four-layer structure.
