RCEP与东亚服务贸易发展的机遇与挑战

RCEP and the Service Trade Development in East Asia: Opportunities and Challenges

近年来,服务贸易在全球范围内迅速发展,已经成为经济增长的重要驱动力量,但东亚地区服务贸易壁垒高筑严重制约了区域内服务贸易的高质量发展。《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》(RCEP)在服务贸易领域作出的开放性承诺和突破性创新大幅度降低了各成员国对跨境服务贸易的限制,为深化东亚地区服务贸易合作提供了契机。然而,相比于《全面与进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》(CPTPP),RCEP协定还有较大的深化空间,东亚服务贸易仍存在一些悬而未决的问题。未来东亚各经济体在认真落实RCEP协定服务贸易相关条款、促进服务贸易进一步开放的同时,还应积极寻求加入CPTPP协定,推动RCEP与CPTPP的融合,努力实现东亚服务贸易合作的新突破。

With the rapid development of service trade in the world,it has become an important driver of economic growth,but the high barriers to service trade in East Asia have seriously restricted the high-quality development of service trade.The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership(RCEP)'s commitment to openness and breakthrough innovation in service trade has significantly reduced restrictions on cross-border trade in services,providing an opportunity to deepen cooperation in services in East Asia.However,compared with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership(CPTPP),the RCEP has more room for progress,and there are still some unsolved probloms in East Asian service trade.In addition to conscientiously implementing relevant provisions of the RCEP on trade in services and promoting further opening-up of service trade,East Asian economies should also actively seek to join the CPTPP,promote the integration of RCEP and CPTPP,and strive to achieve new breakthroughs in service trade cooperation.
