中國—東盟自貿區3.0版投資者與東道國爭端解決機制的構建

Construction of the Investor-State Dispute Settlement Mechanism of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0

中國與東盟國家間的投資者與東道國爭端解決機制較為複雜，實際功用較為有限。在《區域全面經濟夥伴關係協定》納入投資者與東道國爭端解決機制存在一定挑戰的情況下，有必要通過中國—東盟自貿區3.0版談判，探索升級雙方現有機制的可行性。東盟國家中，新加坡、越南、印度尼西亞、泰國對該機制的態度較積極，其他國家相對保守。大多數東盟國家對該機制的主張和實踐與中國存在一定差異。雙方即使能夠在投資者與東道國爭端解決機制上實現合作，也未必能達到中國既有實踐的水平。除了體現更多東道國規制權外，雙方可能可以在爭端預防機制和替代性爭端解決機制兩方面取得突破。

The existing investor-state dispute settlement mechanism between China and ASEAN countries is relatively complex. When the inclusion of investor- state dispute settlement in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement faces certain challenges, it is necessary to explore the feasibility of upgrading the existing mechanisms between China and ASEAN through the negotiation on the Free Trade Area 3.0 version. Among ASEAN countries, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand have a more positive attitude towards the ISDS mechanism, while other countries are relatively conservative. Most ASEAN countries have certain differences in their views and practices regarding this mechanism compared to China. Even if both parties can achieve cooperation, it may not reach the level of existing practices of China. In addition to reflecting more regulatory powers of the host country, it is more likely to make breakthroughs in dispute prevention mechanism and alternative dispute resolution mechanism.
