“陆海新通道”建设下中国和新加坡服务贸易竞争力对比研究

A Comparative Study on Competitiveness of Sino-Singapore Service Trade under the Construction of "New Land-Sea Corridor"

“陆海新通道”建设自2018年中新两国政府联合提出以来已取得了初步成果,将大大推进中国和新加坡的互联互通,在此背景下,对比研究中国和作为东盟服务强国的新加坡的服务贸易竞争力具有一定意义。在综合描述中国和新加坡两国服务贸易的整体规模、行业结构以及地理结构的基础上,选取TC指数和RCA指数两个指标综合评价两国服务贸易整体及细分行业贸易的竞争力水平。研究发现,整体而言中国服务贸易竞争力水平低于新加坡;细分行业之后,中国仅在劳动密集型服务部门的国际贸易竞争力高于新加坡,在知识密集和资本密集服务部门的国际贸易竞争力均低于新加坡。

Since the joint proposal by the governments of China and Singapore in 2018,the"New Land-sea Corridor"construction has achieved preliminary results,which will greatly promote the interconnection between China and Singapore.Under this background,it is significant to make a comparative study on the competitiveness of service trade between China and Singapore.Based on describing the overall scale,industrial structure and geographical structure of service trade of China and Singapore,authors chose TC index and RCA index to evaluate the competitiveness of service trade of China and Singapore respectively.The study finds that China's competitiveness of the overall service trade is lower than Singapore.And speaking of specific service industries,China only has higher trade competitiveness in labor-intensive services sector than Singapore,while Singapore enjoys higher performance in knowledge-intensive and capital-intensive services.
