WTO电子商务谈判的前景和我国的对策建议

The Prospect of WTO E-Commerce Negotiation and China’s Countermeasures

电子商务已成为全球经济发展的新引擎,但相关国际规则谈判滞后于产业和技术发展需求。2019年1月的《电子商务全球宣言》开启了WTO电子商务谈判的序幕,截止2020年底WTO电子商务谈判取得一定进展。但WTO电子商务谈判仍面临严峻挑战,美国和中国等主要成员方在谈判立场上存在较大差异,各成员方在谈判内容、谈判模式上也存在分歧。中国应严守国家安全底线,以积极有为地态度参与WTO电子商务谈判,并通过双边和区域合作领域的积极推动对WTO层面的规则制定形成坚实支撑。

E-commerce has become a new engine of global economic development, but the relevant interna-tional rules negotiation lags behind the needs of industrial and technological development. Decla-ration on Global Electronic Commerce in January 2019 opened the prelude of the WTO e-commerce negotiations, and by the end of 2020, the WTO e-commerce negotiations have made some progress. However, the WTO E-commerce negotiations are still facing severe challenges. The major members such as the United States and China have great differences in negotiation positions, and there are also differences in negotiation contents and negotiation modes among the members. China should strictly abide by the bottom line of national security, actively participate in the WTO e-commerce negotiations, and form a solid support for the WTO level rule making through the active promotion of bilateral and regional cooperation.
