日本数字贸易发展探析及其对中国的启示

A probe into the development of Japanese digital trade and its enlightenment to China

日本是当今全球数字贸易发展快速且发达的国家之一。在数字贸易概念尚未统一、数字贸易统计仍处于探讨阶段的背景下,利用OECD、WTO和IMF联合发布的界定框架和尝试性统计方法,重点从数字化订购贸易和数字化交付服务贸易两方面对日本数字贸易发展状况进行了探析。结果显示,致力推进国内数字社会构筑、积极参与国际相关规则制定正是日本数字贸易快速发展的重要影响因素。中国应充分借鉴日本的经验,积极完善数字贸易相关类别的统计,加快步伐、提高数字贸易规则建设水平,充分利用现有多边协定带来的契机,促进数字贸易优质高效发展。

Japan is one of the fast-growing and developed countries in the global digital trade.Under the background that the concept of digital trade has not yet been unified and digital trade statistics are still in the discussion stage,this paper uses the definition framework and tentative statistical methods jointly issued by the OECD,WTO and IMF to analyze the development of Japanese digital trade from the aspects of digitally ordered trade and digitally delivered trade in service.The results show that commitmentto promoting the construction of a domestic digital society and active participation in the formulation of relevant international rules are the important factors influencing the rapid development of Japanese digital trade.China should fully learn from Japanese experience,actively improve statistics related to digital trade,speed up the pace and improve the level of digital trade rules construction,and make full use of the opportunities brought by existing multilateral agreements to promote the high-quality and efficient development of digital trade.
