Wang Junhui

Joining the IMF special drawing rights (SDR) currency basket is an important milestone in the process of internationalization of the RMB and will significantly enhance the credibility and international influence of the RMB. Due to the lack of the payment and settlement functions of SDR itself, in the short term it is difficult to increase the frequency and amount of use of SDR in the international trade and financial system. But in the long term, SDR entry into the basket could help stabilize the international capital flow, promote domestic financial market opening, expand the use of RMB in cross-border trade and investment in the capital market, which is expected to get nearly six trillion yuan of overseas new configuration.

With the change of economic structure and the expansion of economic scale, the internal demand of the development of economic globalization has not changed and the trend is irreversible. The economic globalization has long accompanying with the anti-globalization whose focus of conflicts reflected whether it is to adhere to the opening development pattern or adopt development mode of protectionism, and the transformation is decided by the level of economic development. The elephant curve has been shown to be a biased conclusions, and in the course of globalization it does not exist the problem of who is the loser, but whether a country can correctly deal with the balanced development of economy in the open environment, and how to balance the distribution of interests in economic development. It is necessary to adhere to the direction of globalization, but also need to coordinate and solve the contradictions arising from globalization. Under the current international situation, China should actively participate in global economic governance, and vigorously promote the negotiation of global investment rules.

These new trends will profoundly affect adjustments and changes in the future of the global economy, trade, industry and regional patterns. In the “13th Five-Year” period, China’s foreign direct investment faces even more complicated international and domestic environment. China’s foreign direct investment has formed the productive service industry taking the lead, acceleration trend of manufacturing industry investment and global radiation of regional distribution, multinational enterprises gradually formed the pattern of double-driving of state-owned and private enterprises, and cross-border mergers and acquisitions become important way for enterprises to obtain global high-end resources. At the same time, there are still problems in the enterprise level, service system level, and policy level. We should optimize the foreign direct investment industrial distribution and regional distribution, implement internationalized strategy, improve the foreign investment promotion service system, strengthen risk prevention, in order to further promote the development of China’s foreign direct investment.

Finally, the paper puts forward some policy suggestions to complete the transformation and upgrading of software export through import substitution.

Cai Jie, Huang Xi and Bai Jiangtao

This paper studies the impact of the uncertainty of trade policy on decision-making and export trade flows of manufacturers from the microscopic view of product, and by constructing a theoretical model of the heterogeneous enterprise to predict how trade policy uncertainty will affect the export and using data of products exported to the ASEAN 2001-2013 to examine the uncertainty of trade policy on trade flow. The empirical results show that: China - the establishment of the ASEAN Free Trade Area significantly reduced the trade policy uncertainty Chinese exporters are facing, increased Chinese exports to ASEAN; the impact of trade policy uncertainty is similar to that of trade tariff, but the influence is less than the latter. On the basis of trade liberalization, the promotion of trade policy uncertainty on trade will be more obvious; the influence of trade policy is time-lagging while the influence of trade policy uncertainty on exports will increase over time.

Planned market economic theory is a theory that is based on the theory of free market economy and planned economy theory as the source, the ICT and Internet technology as the foundation, by way of servicing production as the support, with the economic globalized market as the background, the economic practice in developed countries such as China economic and social development and in developed countries such as the United States as the basis, based on the trend and new rules of the economic and social. Planned market economic theory is not only the essential summary of Chinese economic and social development, but also trying to play a guiding role in the global economic and social development, being closely connected between theory and practice, and a strongly operational systematic theory. The main problem of China’s economic development is the planning not in place and the market economy not in place.
