The China economic weekly reporter Wang Hongru Beijing
Recently, concerning the second instalment of the FTA after media exposure, the list of walk, Tianjin, Fujian and Guangdong appeared likely to become a major suspense. Silent as Department of the Ministry of Commerce. According to people close to the decision-making told the China economic weekly said the FTA is the lead Department of Commerce, as determined by the Department of international operations, and there are also required multiple departments agreed and submitted to the State Council for approval.
With the top position in the near future, experience gained free trade zone, Shanghai, to be replicated in other areas as soon as possible, perhaps FTA announces the second instalment was upon her. Copy the second FTA that how to promote free trade zone, Shanghai's experience becomes the focus of attention. Party member Long Guoqiang of the development research center of the State Council of the China economic weekly said FTA was mainly the deepening of exploration, pioneering, play is opening up, reform, depressions to prevent free trade zone policies.
Experience Shanghai free trade area will be to promote
According to recently participated in a symposium organized by the Department of Commerce an expert said, Tianjin and Guangdong FTA will be the national experimental zone, even revealed that experts put forward "as soon as possible, Tianjin and Guangdong is the second free trade zone" proposal. The second FTA flowers who?
On December 2, the China economic weekly to Ministry of commerce related to verification, the answer is: "the second batch is still in research, there is still no official statement. ”
Person close to decision-making to the China economic weekly, FTA-related work is led by the Commerce Department, as determined by the Department of international operations in addition, but also development and Reform Commission, the General Administration of customs, Ministry of finance, Ministry of construction, the Bank of seven or eight departments, departments agree, the list submitted to the State Council for examination and approval.
Earlier this year whether there will be other FTA conjecture of landing chaos. It is not without reason, in the Shanghai free trade area following the approval last year, enthusiastic declare construction of free trade zone across the country, especially this year, the provinces of the "two sessions", there are more than 20 provinces (regions and municipalities) are working in local government report stated that the docking, preparation or declaration of free trade as a key work in 2014.
To prevent local governments rushing headlong into mass action, once the State Department in June 2014 to suspend all FTA report. However, at a time when free trade zone, Shanghai's first birthday, commissioned by the Shanghai third party independent body to conduct a comprehensive assessment of FTA construction, Shanghai unveiled more than 36-replication, replicable experiences. Tall clear proliferation of the FTA as soon as possible in the near future, declared all parts of the FTA hanging heart fell.
CPC Central Committee General Secretary and State President, XI Jinping presided over a deep restructuring of the sixth meeting of the morning of October 27, stressed that the party's 18 session proposed, to promote existing on a pilot basis, selecting certain conditions of free trade zone for local development (Hong Kong).
This means that, after a year of exploration, Shanghai free trade area creation of forms and the accumulation of experience, will be replicated in more parts of the country.
Tianjin higher programme has two large free trade area and the small free trade zone
As a major economic center and shipping center in the North, Tianjin has been approved the FTA calls for the second instalment, one of the highest. On the latest progress of the Tianjin free trade zone, Tianjin City, one person involved in drafting programmes to China economic weekly said Tianjin free trade zone plan after several rounds of changes, is now reported to have two options, one is a large free trade area scheme, the other is a small free trade zone plan.
"The central leadership and departments are clear, Tianjin free trade zone was granted basically are tendentious comments, but scope still have different views on what is big or small, free trade area programme FTA scheme, now not quite agree. Now is some technical problem. "These people said.
Large free trade area and the small free trade zone, is actually the size of the difference. It is reported that the first declared a free trade zone, Tianjin Dongjiang bonded Harbor area, this 30-square kilometer area is clearly not ready to fully take on the task. Recent news is that the small free trade area programme may be 64.5 square kilometers.
Public information, Dongjiang bonded Harbor area of 10 square kilometers. Tianjin Port free trade zone area of 8.5 square kilometers. Binhai New area in Tianjin, East Coast, 2270 square kilometers. Central business district area of Binhai has gone from 37.5 sq km in the near future expansion to 46 sq km, including conch Bay business district, right next door, the financial district, Jiefang road (alkaline) commercial area, dagu ecoregion and Lan Jingdao and so on. In this way, makes the free trade plan reach 64.5 square kilometers of the total area.
Large free trade area programme, apart from the Dongjiang bonded Harbor area, Tianjin Port free trade zone, right next door, the financial district, conch Bay CBD and airport bonded zones have also been incorporated, about 260 square kilometers.
Actually, the free trade area size, Premier Li keqiang 2014 on new year's Eve visit made at the Tianjin, Tianjin Binhai area 2270 sq km-wide innovation in overall construction investment and services trade facilitation reform areas. This new formulation of integrated innovation area, the industry that is the upgraded version of the free trade zone, Shanghai.
However, Binhai New area with 2270 square kilometers, completely as a free trade zone, apparently is too big. But no matter which of the above programme, no matter how big or small, FTA free trade area programme, with areas larger than area of 28.78 square free trade zone, Shanghai.
Professor, China Center for international economic exchanges, Wang said in an interview with the China economic weekly, established in Tianjin free trade zone, it is important that, through the free trade area to promote Bohai Sea a new round of opening. Apart from preserving replicable programmes within the free trade zone, Shanghai, Tianjin free trade zone will be to develop the function of finance leasing business, focusing on increasing internal radiation effects. Meanwhile, Tianjin free trade zone of the negative list of investment may be shorter, opening up will be even greater.
Free trade seems to have been to Tianjin's "in the bag", the above person involved in FTA plan drafted in Tianjin, told the China economic weekly: "the approval is only a matter of time. ”
Experts: free trade area without any tax breaks
Apart from the Tianjin free trade zone waiting for news of the final approval of the State Council, the free trade area of Guangdong and Fujian will receive a reply message followed recent. Each place can find reasons to you and selling points. In Wang's view, main hope to set up a free trade area in Fujian Taiwan economic butt, especially deep butt, while in Guangdong to set up free trade zones, mainly on account of docking the Hong Kong and Macao issues.
FTA gives local governments can bring? How many FTA China needs?
In the view of party member Long Guoqiang of the development research center of the State Council, every place needs a platform of reform and opening up, play a role in opening up, deepening the reform, "my view is the FTA can be a bit more, and each have their own role. But to prevent depressions FTA policy. ”
More than 30 years of practice has proved that reform and opening up in China, where the first reforms, daring to eat crab first, the easiest access to development opportunities, dividends the share system. FTA has become the pursuit of institutional innovation bonus "magic weapon" that some places simply regard the FTA as "it can fight for tax breaks for local policies".
In this regard, said Long Guoqiang, told the China economic weekly, the FTA is pioneering exploration of reform and opening up, not to look for tax incentives, which is a distinction in the country before the explosion of development zone.
For years, China from special economic zones or the economic and technological development zone to free trade zones, export processing zones, established a series of, a variety of special functions, and most are set up to develop export-oriented economy. These special features in its development process, too much use of the special tax and land concessions, which distorted market mechanisms and enterprise.
"The FTA is not a development zone, but rather reform and system innovation of ' plots '. "Long Guoqiang said the FTA does not have any tax concessions, pioneering itself is the biggest discounts, after successful pioneering experience in national promotion, play Pathfinder role, opening up the Pathfinder. "No one else can do what you do, this is the discount. ”
