简介:截至2018年5月,有关国家围绕《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》(RCEP)已经举行了22轮谈判、9次部长级会议和1次领导人会议,取得了较大进展,有望在2018年底结束谈判。从目前来看,RCEP还面临一些挑战:一是尽管全球经济向好,但贸易保护主义抬头,RCEP相关成员难免受到冲击;二是民粹主义兴起,国际区域经济一体化遭遇挫折;三是五个"10+1"FTA水平各异,整合起来颇有困难;四是"高质量"、"平衡"、"互惠"等多重目标难以兼顾;五是FTA实际利用率偏低,影响协定实施效果。在经济全球化和区域经济一体化的严峻形势下,RCEP将发挥重要的"稳定器"作用,为此,中国应继续支持东盟的核心地位,积极推动RCEP顺利达成协议,并在此过程中,加快推进国内改革,有效衔接RCEP和"一带一路"倡议。

简介:近年来,中国与东盟各国经济联系不断加强,其中,马来西亚凭借稳定的政治环境、良好的经济条件、地缘政治的战略性地位和友华倾向成为中国在东南亚的重要伙伴之一。中马钦州产业园区和马中关丹产业园的'两国双园'国际产能合作新模式正是上述因素综合作用的成果。随着'一带一路'倡议的提出,作为东盟率先响应该倡议的国家之一的马来西亚,积极推动中马双边合作与政策对接,'两国双园'也纳入倡议的旗舰合作项目中,成为倡议在马成功与否的重要标志之一。本文通过深入实践、走访调查,结合马来西亚本土智库、非政府组织、媒体及民间各族群人士的立场与观点,了解两地产业园区的发展现状,分析'两国双园'面临的机遇与挑战,为双园发展提出建议,以供相关单位、企业参考借鉴。
