中国加入CPTPP过程中的日本因素

The Japanese Factor in the Process of China’s Accession to the CPTPP

中国加入CPTPP过程中遇到了一些困难,其中的日本因素尤其需要引起重视。作为所谓的“主导国”,日本在CPTPP中拥有较强的话语权,在推动机制扩容等重大事项上发挥着重要作用。对于中国申请加入该合作机制,日本的立场有明显的转化过程,体现出浓厚的现实主义色彩。当下,日本以中国难以满足CPTPP全部规则要求为由态度消极,实则其背后更多是出于政治、经济和外交等深层次的战略考量。日本此举不但会妨碍中国推进自贸区提升战略,也不利于亚太经济一体化发展,甚至对其自身经济也会产生负面影响。中国应拟定宏微结合的策略,宏观上侧重统筹兼顾,从更高层面看待分析日本因素;微观上以尽快解决加入CPTPP过程中遇到的突出问题为主要目标,围绕条款规则对标与以日本为代表的个别成员的消极应对等实际情况,积极思考应对之策。
