RCEP成员国的认知差异及其影响

Cognitive Differences among RCEP Member States and Their Impact

2023年6月RCEP的全面生效为逆全球化时代下的区域经济一体化注入强劲动力。但是目前成员国对RCEP存在多元认知差异,而关键性认知偏差的弥合抑或扩大将在很大程度上关乎RCEP的未来发展走向。当前,各成员国对RCEP的认知总体趋于积极,正面认知与评价是主流观点。与此同时,各国在有关RCEP对东盟中心地位的影响、市场开放对竞争能力的作用、特定行业部门的发展态势、产业链的安全稳定四个方面存在分歧。各成员国对于RCEP的认知差异,是由各方国家利益及群体身份、开放形势下的“恐惧诉求”、文化差异的“排异反应”、历史与期望间的“认知失调”等原因所造成。可以预见,成员国认知差异将对未来RCEP的提质升级、作用发挥与发展走向造成直接影响。作为RCEP中体量最大的成员国,中国宜积极参与维护协定,妥善处理认知差异,为密切亚太经贸合作关系,寻求合作强劲长效发展,促进地区繁荣,贡献中国式现代化的智慧。

The comprehensive activation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership(RCEP)in 2023 has significantly energized regional economic integration in an age characterized by resistance to globalization.Nevertheless,a spectrum of cognitive perceptions regarding RCEP exists among the member nations,and the reconciliation or amplification of these key cognitive variances is crucial in shaping RCEP's future.A generally positive recognition of RCEP prevails among the member countries.However,there are noticeable divergences in opinions regarding RCEP's impacts on various fronts,such as ASEAN's central role,the role of market liberalization in enhancing competitiveness,the development trajectories of particular industrial sectors,and the security and stability of supply chains.These differences in perception among the member states arise from a blend of factors,including national interests and group identities,fear-based appeals in open market conditions,exclusionary reactions stemming from cultural disparities,and cognitive dissonance between historical experiences and future expectations.The cognitive differences among member states will influence the quality enhancement,functional realization,and developmental trajectory of RCEP in the future.As the largest member of RCEP,China plays a key role.China should actively participate in safeguarding the common interests of the agreement,appropriately deal with cognitive differences,and contribute to the wisdom of Chinese modernization for the close relationship between Asia-Pacific economic and trade cooperation,the search for strong and long-term development of cooperation,and the promotion of regional prosperity.
