- Abstract:
- “The Belt and Road” initiative has made a series of remarkable achievements since first rolled out and the overseas economic and trade cooperation zone plays an important role in the process of this initiative. It can effectively avoid risks of unstable foreign relations on a macro level, uncertain commercial environments on an intermediate level, project management and lack of acquaintance with local regulations on a micro level, when companies “go abroad” to countries who are part of “The Belt and Road” initiative. In order to better promote the construction of the initiative, research on the development status, main features and policy for sustainable development of overseas economic and trade cooperation zones is particularly valuable. Through the methods of literature investigation and comparative study, this paper analyses the present situation of 20 overseas economic and trade cooperation zones that have been approved and promoted by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance. The basic characteristics are also summarized. It is found that the construction of current zones are mainly led by Chinese enterprises with the industrial structures mainly in middle and lowend industries and located in Asian and African developing countries. In addition, the type of industry shows a cluster development trend. At the same time, they are faced with the challenges of cooperation mechanisms, industry positioning, profit model and supporting system. The analysis results show that in order to promote the sustainable development of the zone, it should promote the key design and coordination of the two sides, lay the system guarantee, actively attract the foreign parties to participate in the construction and operation, strengthen the complementary advantages of China and foreign countries, improve the related support and supporting services, and facilitate the enhancement of the competitiveness of the cooperation zones.
