The much-discussed topic of whether the EU will recognize China's market economy status has come to an end for the time being. Recently, the European Parliament voted against the EU’s recognition of China’s market economy status. Some analysts said that although this resolution of the European Parliament does not have legal effect, it may still have an impact on subsequent opinions of the European Commission. from2001Starting from the year 8800_8817, China joined the World w88 Organization (WTO)Almost158875_9010
"The reasons include the following aspects."Sang Baichuan, Dean and Doctoral Supervisor of the Institute of International Economics, w88 casinoIn an interview with this reporter, he said that first of all, since the last round of international financial crisis, the EU has struggled to recover, with great downward pressure on the economy and sluggish performance of some industries. In order to safeguard its status and suppress China as a competitor, the EU is unwilling to change the status quo and grant China full market economy status.
Secondly, the EU does not recognize China’s market economy status, which is also an important manifestation of the rise of w88 protectionism in the region. The EU hopes to create a relatively comfortable living environment for local enterprises through w88 protectionism. "But the final effect may be counterproductive, which will drag down the EU's economic recovery." Sang Baichuan believes.
Thirdly, from a global perspective, there is no unified standard for market economy, and the EU has always regarded China as a "market transition economy country" based on its own standards. At present, the market economy measurement standards proposed by the EU include many clauses, such as market supply and demand determines price costs and inputs; market prices are completely determined by the market; enterprises must have accounting books that comply with international accounting standards, and enterprise production costs and operating conditions are not distorted by non-market economic factors; enterprises can transfer freely, profits can be transferred freely, and commercial activities can be carried out freely; bankruptcy laws and property laws apply to all enterprises; exchange rates are determined by supply and demand, etc. "These standards of the EU are not completely objective, nor are they accepted and recognized by all countries." Sang Baichuan said that the EU, based on its own market economy standards, strictly requires markets in other regions to fully comply with its standards before it can be granted market economy status. This in itself is a misinterpretation of the diversified market economy system.
Sang Baichuan believes that in addition to economic reasons, the reason why the EU is reluctant to recognize China's market economy status also includes international political games. While cooperation between China and Europe continues to strengthen, there is also fierce competition. The EU is pursuing reindustrialization and taking the lead in manufacturing transformation and upgrading and new energy industrialization, while China is also seeking transformation and upgrading, and there is a competitive relationship between the two. From a specific perspective, the pressure exerted by the United States on the EU and the differences in values between the United States, the EU and China have also made the EU unwilling to recognize China's market economy status an element of political gaming.
Many experts are worried that the EU's unwillingness to recognize China's market economy status is likely to worsen the relationship between China and Europe, the world's two largest economies, and may even trigger a w88 conflict between Europe and China. In this regard, Sang Baichuan said that the EU failed to201612311_12338
On the issue of whether to recognize China's market economy status, the EU is not monolithic, but has many differences. Many institutions and companies within the EU have also criticized and accused the EU of not granting China market economy status. Objectively speaking, the EU is unwilling to grant China market economy status, and its use of "substitute third party" clauses in anti-dumping cases may delay the development of China-EU economic and w88 cooperation. However, Sang Baichuan emphasized that the deepening of economic and w88 relations between China and the EU is determined by the laws of economic development. This is beyond the control of some EU institutions such as the European Parliament. in the past10For many years, although the EU has been slow to grant China market economy status, China-EU economic cooperation has still developed. Therefore, it is not appropriate to over-interpret this incident. This incident cannot block the tide of China-EU cooperation, nor will it have a great negative impact.
