摘要Hainan FTP will boost alignment with international rules in China’s opening up The Hainan Free Trade Port(FTP)represents a significant step forward in China’s pursuit of high-standard opening up and greater engagement in economic globalisation.Following years of exploration,the policy framework for the Hainan FTP has come into being,and the recent launch of island-wide special customs operations marks an important transition-from institutional design to full implementation.
摘要The evolution of international rules on government procurement is essentially a dynamic balance between the"attributes of public funds"and the"demands for trade liberalization."Since the 21st century,high-standard rules represented by the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership(CPTPP)have been characterized by the expansion of coverage,refinement of procedural norms,and modernization of value concepts.Chapter 15 of the CPTPP establishes a comprehensive framework of government procurement rules encompassing both substantive obligations and procedural requirements.It demonstrates its high-standard nature by expanding the scope of procuring entities,incorporating new forms of procurement,strengthening the principle of non-discrimination,detailing transparency requirements,improving independent remedy mechanisms,and integrating sustainable development concepts.While China's current Government Procurement Law aligns with CPTPP rules in terms of public policy goals and the basic principles of transparency and fair competition,disparities remain in areas such as the scope of procuring entities,coverage of procurement methods,refinement of non-discrimination obligations,degree of information disclosure,constraints on technical specifications,efficiency of remedy mechanisms,and the establishment of legal liabilities.In light of the revision process of China’s Government Procurement Law and the practical needs for CPTPP accession,China should achieve effective alignment with international high standards by expanding the scope of procuring entities to include public-interest State-Owned Enterprises(SOEs),enhancing the operability of transparency,improving independent supervision and diversified remedy mechanisms,and implementing modern concepts such as green development and support for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises(SMEs).Such alignment will not only safeguard national economic security and public interests but also elevate the level of institutional opening-up in the field of government procurement.
