中國－加拿大雙邊投資條約：獨特性和非互惠性

The Canada-China FIPPA: Its Uniqueness and Non-reciprocity

中加雙邊投資條約的獨特性和非互惠性，不僅表現在法律上，還包括在事實上對中方有利。條約對市場准入、外資審查、准入後國民待遇、最惠國待遇、業績要求和投資者與東道國間的爭端解決機制等核心條款的規定均存在非互惠性，進而為加拿大政府埋下了法律與經濟層面的隱患。考慮到加拿大在中加投資條約項下的資本輸入國地位，以及該條約的獨特性和不可逆轉性，在批准之前，加拿大應對中加雙邊投資條約進行徹底的、獨立的和公開的審查。

The Canada-China FIPPA is not only de jure non-reciprocal, and uniquely, but also apparently de facto non-reciprocal—in favour of China. The non-reciprocal was evaluated in these respects with reference to its provisions on market access and investment screening; post-establishment national treat-ment; MFN treatment; performance requirements; ISA and so on, so the Cana­da-China FIPPA raised legal and economic concern for the Canadian government. Considering Canada's capital-importing position in relation to China, as well as ths novelty and irreversibility of the Canada-China FIPPA; it suggested that the China FIPPA calls for a thorough, independent, and public review prior to ratifi-cation by Canada.
