Academic Research On Effection Of Trans-pacific Partnership (TPP) On China’s Foreign Trade

It has been thirty years since the policy of reform and opening up.For this period of time,foreign trade and direct foreign investment have made important contribution to China’s economic development.Especially as the most crucial component of the "three main driving forces",foreign trade has a far-reaching impact on the economic boom.However,with the return of United States to the Asia-Pacific market,China’s foreign trade environment gradually deteriorates,and the establishment of TPP makes the situation even worse.From economic perspective,it is difficult for China to achieve high standards of TPP in the short term,and member states of TPP are the main partners of China’s foreign trade.Politically speaking,TPP is intended to replace the function of APEC,and reduce the effect of China’s speaking right in the Asia-Pacific region;therefore,it can ensure the leadership of the United States.Hence,it is significant to study the influence of TPP on China’s foreign trade through the combination of theoretical statements and empirical analysis.In this paper,based on the existing research foundation,the author first makes clear the development process of TPP,the content of TPP protocol,and the characteristics of TPP itself.Then from dynamic,static,positive and negative aspects,the TPP establishment influence on WTO is analyzed.Accordingly,using the trade intensity index analyzes bilateral trade of China and TPP signatory states.Then the example of mechanical and electrical products is applied to compare China’s commodity competitiveness with TPP party and investigate the impact of TPP tariff policy on China’s trade.Also empirically,adopting gravity model analyzes the effect of TPP on the Chinese foreign trade.Finally,the author puts forward insights of the limitations of TPP itself,China’s own political and economic advantages,response strategy,and countermeasures.
