VII.China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA)
The China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA) is the first
FTA established between China and foreign countries. The
Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Economic
Cooperation between China and ASEAN inked in November
2002 inaugurated the construction of the CAFTA.
In November, 2004, both sides concluded the CAFTA
Agreement on Trade in Goods and Agreement on Dispute
Settlement Mechanism, which came into effect in July, 2005,
reducing tariff rates upon commodities subject to 7,000 tariff
lines. Since January 1, 2010, China has implemented zero
tariffs upon over 90% of ASEAN commodities, with the
average tariff rate down from 9.8% to 0.1%, and the 6 original
ASEAN countries, i.e. Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia,
Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, adopted
similar preferential policies for China, cutting down their
average tariff rate from 12.8% to 0.6%. For the 4 newer
ASEAN member states, i.e. Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar
and Viet Nam, this goal will be realized in 2015.
With the CAFTA Agreement on Trade in Services
concluded and came into effect in 2007, both sides have
committed to open up over 60 service sectors to each other,
which is more favorable than the commitments made among
WTO members.
The CAFTA Investment Agreement was signed in August
2009, enabling investors from China and ASEAN to enjoy
national treatment, most favored national treatment and fair
and equitable treatment to each other. It creates a free,
facilitated and transparent investment environment, marking
that the CAFTA-related negotiations have been completed.
44
The CAFTA has been due established on January 1,
2010. It boasts a population of 1.9 billion people, a total GDP
of USD 6 trillion and a total trade volume of USD 4.5 trillion,
making it the largest FAT among the developing countries.
The Second Protocol to Amend the Framework
Agreement on Comprehensive Economic Cooperation
between ASEAN and China came into effect on January 1,
2011.
The Protocol to Implement the Second Package of
Specific Commitments under the Agreement on Trade in
Services came into effect on January 1, 2012.

48
It pools information of businesses, commodities, projects

Facts of the previous 9 CAEXPOs
Number of exhibitors and trade visitors: 368,000
Total trade volume: US$13.568 billion

The CAEXPO has effectively promoted the business

facilitating the regular bilateral trade and investment, and
advancing the bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
In 2004 when the 1st CAEXPO was held, the bilateral
trade volume fulfilled the goal of US$100 billion one year
ahead of schedule. In 2007, the goal of US$200 billion was
realized 3 years ahead of schedule. In 2013, the bilateral
trade volume stood at US$443.6 billion, hitting a record new
high. By the end of 2013, the accumulative volume of two-way
investment reached US$110 billion.
The CAEXPO has effectively promoted the trade in goods,
investment cooperation, trade in services, city-to-city
exchanges,
industrial
connection
and
sub-regional
cooperation of the two sides.
The CAEXPO has well demonstrated the win-win results
produced by the CAFTA construction, upgrading the
China-ASEAN strategic partnership to a new high.
49
-- A platform for multi-sectoral cooperation, providing
institutional guarantees for China and ASEAN to
cooperate in economy, trade and other fields, and to have
people-to-people exchanges
With the fast growing China-ASEAN economic and trade
cooperation, both sides have raised new expectations and
demands on the supporting services including customs,
inspection and quarantine, finance, ports and logistics, etc.
The two sides also hope to encourage closer
people-to-people exchanges in fields of culture, education and
sports, etc. via enhanced economic and trade cooperation.
To this end, over 260 high-end forums and relevant
programs were held concurrently with the previous 9
CAEXPOs, gathering government officials, entrepreneurs,
experts and scholars for dialogues and exchange programs.
These programs studied and provided feasible solutions
for relevant issues in different fields, which have formed a
series of cooperation mechanisms, thus providing institutional
guarantees for the people-to-people exchanges and
cooperation in trade and other fields.
During each CAEXPO, splendid cultural and sports
programs including Nanning International Arts Festival of Folk
Songs are also held to fuel China-ASEAN friendly exchanges.
-- A bridge for China and ASEAN as a whole to
cooperate with other economies in the world, enhancing
the influence of China-ASEAN region in the international
area
The CAEXPO is not only a platform for China-ASEAN
cooperation, but also a grand trade event open to the whole
world. Leaders of the international organizations like the World
Bank, the UN Conference on Trade and Development and the
UN Industrial Development Organization were attracted to the
50
previous CAEXPOs. Sourcing companies from countries and
regions outside the China-ASEAN region were invited to each
CAEXPO. Asia-Europe Meeting Roundtable Meeting on
Investment Cooperation and other cross-continental
promotion programs are arranged during the CAEXPO. The
CAEXPO has promoted the exchanges and cooperation of
China and ASEAN with other economies, and enhanced the
influence of China and ASEAN as a whole in the world,
providing a springboard to the huge world market and
abundant business opportunities beyond the China-ASEAN
region.
