Sun ZhenyuIn his speechTPPFor China and other non-ChineseTPPMembership brings certain challenges, but in the long run,TPPMay be related toRCEPMerge to form oneFTAAP, This may be the future development direction of world regionalism, and China can participate more activelyRCEPNegotiation. In addition, China currently has the responsibility to take specific measures to strengthenWTOZhenxingWTO。Long Guoqiangsaid in his speech that the deeper reason for the decline in China's exports is that the comparative advantage of low-cost labor that supports China's global competition is undergoing a profound transformation. Improving the competitiveness of export products is the key for our country to escape the middle-income trap and move towards a high-income country. This is also an important task during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. Seizing the opportunity of the new technological revolution may be the key to upgrading China's international competitiveness. The new technological revolution can also enhance our country's traditional industries. In addition, how to use the information technology revolution to develop service outsourcing and enhance the competitiveness of service w88 should also attract full attention.Harsha V. Singh thenbelieves that the current development of the Doha Round is hindered, while the TPP has brought about problems in many countriesWTO+21036_21044WTO21375_21435FTAANDTPPThese regional mechanisms are related toWTOCoordinated multilateral mechanisms.Lin Weijisaid that China’s economic growth is currently slowing down, but we still predict that China will have a growth rate of 6.8%. Although the current w88 has experienced a certain degree of weakness, it still has a positive effect on economic growth. In addition, China's economic growth has declined, but China still contributes 30% of global growth, and this trend will continue until 2020. This is the combined contribution of the United States, Japan and the Eurozone to global w88. China's greater participation in global w88 rules, China's Belt and Road Initiative, and domestic state-owned enterprise reforms will further help world economic growth.Mats Harbornbelieves that China has gained huge benefits from joining the WTO, such asGDPThe bilateral economic and w88 negotiations between China, Europe and the United States are very important. This is as important as the WTO accession negotiations 15 years ago. It can be calledWTO2.0. The economic slowdown in China and the world also means that China needs more urgent economic reforms. The steps seen in the "13th Five-Year Plan" are optimistic, but the speed can be faster. The Chinese government should now have more specific measures. Finally, after seeing the full text of the 13th Five-Year Plan, it can be confirmed China hopes to have a new toolbox, that is, the rule of law. China’s economy will place more emphasis on the rule of law and strengthen financial reform to enable private and foreign companies to have better market access. It will also abolish the past foreign investment list and negative list and remove these restrictions on investment.

Mu Zhonghe, Director of the World w88 Department of the Ministry of CommerceIndicates that China is implementing itWTOIn the process of the agreement, we actively adjusted and revised w88 policies, adjusted and caught up during the transition period, and finally carried out a large-scale policy adjustment process during the transition period. In addition, in terms of w88 policy review, overall, the overall situation of the w88 review with China this time should be said to be better, and the Chinese government is also using it in good faithWTODispute settlement mechanism. Finally, China participated constructively in the Doha Round negotiations. China combined safeguarding its own interests with achieving win-win outcomes for all members. Always place multilateral negotiations at the main channel level. And China by joiningWTOMultilateral organizations that sign multilateral agreements to promote a reform are relatively stable.WTOWang Xiaodong, Counselor of the Market Access DepartmentThink, joinWTOThe practice itself isWTOThe contribution of this organization.ITA’s expansion has been reducedITThe cost of the product promotesITThe development of w88. In addition, the w88 Facilitation Agreement is alsoWTOhas made an important contribution, which is beneficial to the reduction of customs clearance costs and time. Transparency provisions and dispute settlement mechanisms in regional agreements play an important role in international w88. Overall, today’s world still needsWTO，WTOStill a guardian in today’s global trading environment.President of the American Information Industry OrganizationMatt Robertssaid that information technology is a global field and there is a great need for close communication and cooperation between these enterprises that promote new technologies and government agencies that regulate and promote innovation policies. Governments of various countries are very, very concerned about the development of the information industry and the introduction of information technology. Some economists regard information technology as a super capital. According to last yearITAAccording to a research report by a think tank, communication technology is the strongest common technology driving productivity and innovation among all industries in today’s economy. It requires the efforts and contributions of all parties, from all aspects of the information technology industry to close cooperation in various fields of government agencies, think tanks, and academia, in order to have an ecosystem that promotes the healthy development of information technology and promote innovation. In this regard,WTOIt has played a very positive role.

Lin Guijunstated in his speech that China’sFTAStrategy andRCEP's negotiation model is a very important issue for the stability, prosperity and development of the entire world economic and w88 pattern in the Asia-Pacific.RCEPAnd the United StatesTPPThey are complementary. my country’s free w88 zone strategy must serve the goal of national reform and opening up. Our country must build a high-standard free w88 zone network based on neighboring countries, radiating the "Belt and Road Initiative" and facing the world. forRCEPNegotiation,HisThe suggestion is givenTPP's commitment is 100%. China's commitment should be increased to 99% to 100% to ensure China's central position in the region. ASEAN countries also want to maintain their central position and should increase the tariff elimination rate to 95%. In addition, global value chains should be considered, rules of origin should implement lower thresholds, and open rules of origin should be adopted instead of closed ones.Zhang Guoqing, executive director of China International w88 Society and expert of the Expert Committeebelieves that great changes have taken place in the two years since the construction of the Shanghai Free w88 Zone, the system reform has achieved overall success, and the opening up of finance has taken a new step, passedFTOAccount directly invests or borrows overseas, and goes abroad for excess capital、The introduction of relatively low-cost capital into the country is of great significance. At the same time, the service industry is poised for development, most of the platform construction has been completed, and foreign investment has grown explosively. He believes that the Shanghai Free w88 Zone, as a experimental field for reform and opening up, must attach great importance to the trends of new international economic and w88 rules, closely follow various new issues, and consciously develop the reform and opening up of the Free w88 Zone and benchmark it against international standards with high standards to lead the next step of reform and opening up.Former Commercial Minister of the U.S. Embassy in ChinaWilliam Zarit representationTPPIt is very meaningful and can bring substantial benefits to countries such as China, India and South Korea,TPPcan promote the process of multilateral w88 negotiations, and he also saidTPPThe debate also exists in the United States. He believes that China may not be suitable to consider joining nowTPPproblem becauseTPPIncluding many non-w88 conditions, especially environmental protection, labor standards, behavioral regulations for state-owned enterprises, and regulations between government and enterprises. These aspects require a lot of reforms in China. In the short term, the benefits to China are limited.Wang Mike, w88 Counselor of the EU Mission to ChinaConsiders that the service industry is already a globalized economic phenomenon and is currently being negotiatedTISA, will bring great benefits to China.

She expressed that the EU supports China’s accessionTISA，But China still has some work to do to better convince other members. I firmly believe that China will show leadership and join in, and can also play an exemplary role in many negotiations.

Partner of Covington & Burling LLPTimStratfordTells about the negotiations on the bilateral w88 agreement between China and the United States, and also introduces some related negotiations between China and Europe. He proposed,BITThe treaty is designed to solve two fundamental problems. As long as China and the United States can reach a bilateral investment agreement and open up restricted areas, this will be warmly welcomed by foreign-invested enterprises. Open investment brings a win-win situation to the two economies, and China will also see such a two-way benefit.Liu Zuozhang, former director of the Investment Promotion Bureau of the Ministry of CommerceDiscussed what kind of foreign investment rules China needs. He said that in the next step, we can not only add pre-establishment national treatment to the negative list, but also add other things. We must remain confident in the future, further reform and expand opening up, and progress and develop and prosper together with other countries in the world, not just the United States、Japan、South Korea,AlsoEurope, EU。We are like each otherWTO、FTA，FTAANDWTO, Shanghai Free w88 ZoneTheseThe concepts and regulations we learned from the West and the international community, weWe need to learn and learn from this aspect, put usofWork better.Representative of the U.S.-China Business CouncilJake LabandTalk about committee member companies’ perspectives and experiences with this market. He believes that among the challenges faced by foreign companies, competition from local companies is still the largest factor、The first challenge. We have seen protectionism in these areas, as well as intellectual property enforcement, which has been ranked first by member companies for many years, but we have also seen China continue to make progress in this area. China's anti-terrorism law and other laws are constantly strengthening the requirements for network security. There are more and more stringent requirements for companies to use, process and store data. This has also brought some unique challenges to our member companies. These companies must not only ensure the compliance of the headquarters, but also need strong data processing capabilities to do their business well, because in the process of today's w88 flows, data flow has become more and more important, so we are also waiting to see how these laws and regulations will be promulgated and what impact they will have on foreign-funded enterprises.Huang Jianhui, President of China Minsheng Banking Research Institutedelivered a speech on the "Belt and Road" prefabricated overseas investment platform for Chinese enterprises. He mentioned in it that “One Belt, One Road” is an important driving force in promoting China’s economic transformation. In the next 10 to 15 years, China will enter a new strategic opportunity period of "endogenous drive and global layout". While China focuses its investment and w88 on Europe, the United States and Japan, it should also focus more on emerging countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, make more contributions to global poverty alleviation and promote common global development.Liang Guoyong, Senior Official of the Investment and Enterprise Division of the United Nations Conference on w88 and Developmentalso gave a speech on "New Trends in International Investment and Its Impact on China". He said that thousands of agreements in the international investment field are intertwined and extremely complex, and the inconsistencies in many agreements highlight the need for reform. The trends in international investment agreements mainly include several aspects: first, quantity decreases and quality improves. Second, the positions of various countries have become divided. The third is the rebalancing of content. The improvement of the international investment governance structure is related to the long-term development of China's economy. The emphasis on policy space and sustainable development is actually highly consistent with the adjustment and improvement of China's economic growth model. It is also in line with the innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development concepts proposed by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. At the same time, pre-establishment national treatment and more effective investor protection will not only help China attract foreign investment, but also benefit China’s overseas investment. Experience since joining the WTO shows that open competition is an important driving force for industrial development, and the introduction of external rules can also be an important boost to promote domestic reform.
