数字贸易规则的演进与中国应对

The Evolution of Trade Rules in Digital Trade and China’s Response

基于文本分析法对CPTPP等高标准国际经贸协定中的数字贸易规则进行全面分析和比对,并对中国数字贸易规则的国际差距以及高标准数字贸易规则在中国接受难易度进行评估,研究发现:数字贸易规则已形成以美国为主导,1.0、2.0、3.0版本纵向演进,美式和欧式模板横向并存的多元化体系;中国在数字贸易规则制定中处于边缘地位,尚未达到1.0版本水平;高标准数字贸易规则有19条核心条款,中国基本接受、接受难度较小和接受难度较大的分别有13条、4条和2条。因此,中国应采取积极采纳、批判吸收、谨慎应对等方式,区别对待高标准数字贸易规则,并尽早形成数字贸易规则的"中国模板"。

Based on the text analysis method, this paper makes a comprehensive analysis and comparison of digital trade rules in high standard FTAs such as CPTPP, and evaluates the international gap of China’s digital trade rules and the difficulty of accepting high standard digital trade rules in China. The results show that: digital trade rules have formed a diversified system dominated by the United States, with versions 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 evolving vertically and American and European templates coexisting horizontally;China is in a marginal position in the digital trade rule making, and has not yet reached the level of version 1.0;There are 19 core clauses in the high standard digital trade rules, 13 of which are basically accepted, 4 of which are less difficult to accept and 2 of which are more difficult to accept by China. Therefore, China should take positive adoption, critical absorption, cautious response and other ways to treat high standard digital trade rules differently, and form the "China template" as soon as possible.
