中国商务部：东盟对华投资缩水与南海问题无必然联系
国际在线消息（记者 陈雨）：针对近期东盟对华投资缩水引发外界质疑，中国中国商务部新闻发言人沈丹阳19日表示，这与中国利用外资的结构调整有关，与南海问题无必然联系。此外，对于上半年“一带一路”相关国家对华投资出现下降，这位官员称未来会逐步增加。
中国商务部数据显示，今年上半年，中国对外直接投资5802.8亿元人民币（折合888.6亿美元），同比增长58.7%.其中，民间企业对外投资热情高涨。与此同时，民企在国内投资却出现负增长。对于外热内冷的表现，外界质疑是否因国内投资困难导致民企纷纷把目标转移至海外。对此，中国商务部发言人沈丹阳在当天举行的例行发布会上进行了回应：“我不能说一点关系也没有，但是至少现在没有数据来支撑这种观点。海外投资增长虽然很快，但是民营企业海外投资的金额还是有限的，占整个投资规模也仍是非常小的比重。所以我认为，这应该不是主要的原因，海外投资增长快也有一些短期的因素。”
从投资对象国看，中国企业在“一带一路”相关61个国家新签对外承包工程项目合同额514.5亿美元，同比增长37%。相比之下，同期“一带一路”相关国家对华实际投入外资仅约33.6亿美元，同比下降7.7%。对此，沈丹阳指出，中国对“一带一路”相关国家地区投资大幅增长是正常的。这一结果与企业开展国际投资所受到的企业竞争力、市场因素和政策因素有关，“这几年，中国企业国际竞争力提升，对外投资掀起热潮。而来华投资的外国企业却面临中国企业日益强有力的竞争。同时，企业进行跨境投资要寻找市场商机的。中国企业对外投资受到世界各地普遍欢迎。而大部分‘一带一路’相关国家企业竞争力都不是很高，到我们中国投资未来会逐步增加，但我认为短期内不会有快速增加。”
在对外投资高速增长的同时，上半年，中国吸收外资总体保持增长，实际使用外资金额4417.6亿元人民币（折合694.2亿美元），同比增长5.1%。从主要来源地看，美国、英国、德国对华投资增幅均达到或接近翻番，增长较快的行业主要为信息传输、计算机服务和软件业、技术服务等。而主要地区东盟对华投资同比仅增长1.3%，6月当月，同比大幅下降57%。谈及东盟对华投资缩水的原因，中国商务部新闻发言人沈丹阳称，这与中国利用外资的结构调整有关，与南海问题无必然联系，“我认为这是一个正常的市场和企业投资现象。今年上半年我国总体利用外资的情况是不错的，特别是高技术服务业和高技术制造业吸收都双双增长。可以看到，我们现在利用外资的结构调整主要是朝着高技术、高质量、高水平的方向在转变，因此上半年对华投资增长比较多的恰恰是欧美发达国家和地区。”
本月5日，美国一家公司向美国国际贸易委员会提出申请，指控中国企业对美出口、在美进口或在美销售的门禁系统及有关组件侵犯其在美国注册有效的专利权，请求美国国际贸易委员会发布有关排除令以及禁止令。对于这一事件，沈丹阳表示：“对于中国和美国两国企业间的这类知识产权纠纷，中国商务部一直高度关注，并且必须再次指出，希望美国国际贸易委员会要客观、公平、公正开展调查，妥善解决。我们认为，唯有这样，才能有利于促进中国和美国两国相关产业间的贸易合作，确保双边经贸关系健康稳定发展。”
337调查，指美国国际贸易委员会根据美国《1930年关税法》第337节及相关修正案进行的调查，调查针对的是“一切不公平竞争行为或向美国出口产品中的任何不公平贸易行为”。
近年来，美国国际贸易委员会发起的337调查案件数量居高不下，其中三分之一以上案件是针对中国对美国出口的产品。2016年上半年，美国已经对中国出口产品发起了11起337调查，案件数量超过了去年全年案件数量的总和。另外还有3起337调查案件正处于立案审查阶段。
