RCEP har 15 medlemsländer, inklusive Kina, Japan, Republiken Korea, Australien och Nya Zeeland, och 10 ASEAN-länder. För närvarande har sex ASEAN-medlemsstater och fyra icke-ASEAN-medlemsstater formellt lämnat in sina ratifikationsinstrument och har nått tröskeln för att avtalet ska träda i kraft. Enligt bestämmelserna ska RCEP träda i kraft den 1 januari 2022 för de 10 länder som formellt har lämnat in sina ratifikationsdokument.
Statistics show that China's trade volume with RCEP members accounts for about one third of China's total trade volume, with ASEAN, Japan and the ROK being China's first, fourth and fifth largest trading partners respectively.
En tjänsteman från Department of Foreign Trade vid handelsministeriet sa att RCEP som träder i kraft som planerat är en värdefull marknadsmöjlighet med stor handelskreativitet och en viktig hävstång för att stabilisera utrikeshandeln nästa år.
RCEP is conducive to expanding China's export of competitive products. From the perspective of trade facilitation, member states have made high-level commitments on customs procedures, inspection and quarantine, and technical standards. In particular, they have promised to release goods within 48 hours upon arrival as far as possible, and for express and perishable goods within 6 hours upon arrival, which will help improve the efficiency of logistics customs clearance and boost export growth. From the perspective of e-commerce, all parties commit to promote "paperless trade", recognize the effectiveness of electronic signature, provide institutional guarantee for online transactions, and facilitate enterprises to expand exports through cross-border e-commerce platforms.
In terms of rules of origin, the raw materials used by enterprises in RCEP member countries in the production process can be regarded as local raw materials, which can accumulate and increase the proportion of original value components and make it easier for exports from RCEP member countries to reach the threshold of enjoying preferential tariffs. China's production and trade of intermediate products will benefit, and the export of upstream products such as textile raw materials, auto parts and electronic components will further increase.
Det är värt att nämna att åtaganden om att öppna upp varor, tjänster och investeringar kommer att kombineras, handel och investeringar kommer att garanteras av institutioner, industri- och försörjningskedjor kommer att bli mer integrerade och regionala investeringar kommer att bli mer dynamiska. Med ett komplett utbud av industrier, stark stödkapacitet och hög produktionseffektivitet har Kina potential att locka inhemska och utländska företag att investera i Kina.
