On November 20,2012,China,Japan and South decided to formally start the China,Japan and South Korea free trade area(FTA)negotiations.The first round of negotiations held in March 2013,the trade in goods,trade in services,investment,and agreement area and other important issues were discussed fully.In January 2016,as the end of the ninth round of negotiations with China,Japan and South Korea free trade zone,the construction of China,Japan and South Korea free trade area get more and more attention of the whole society,so far(on June 27,2016)it has entered the tenth rounds of negotiations.The three sides exchange views deeply on trade in goods,trade in services,investment,the scope of agreement in this negotiation.In the future negotiations,how to open service industry will be a focus except goods trade of several countries.China,Japan and South Korea are important economies in the world and they have more than $16 trillion total economic output,accounting for more than 20%of the world economy and more than two-thirds of all economic activity in Asia.China is the biggest trading partner of Japan and South Korea,Japan,South Korea are the second and the third largest trade partner of China respectively,the three parties have close economic relations and strong complementary service trade structure.In the meantime,the three's service trade have different comparative advantages,the structure of service trade has strong complementary to each other.Establishing China,Japan and South Korea free trade area will promote further integration,promote the trade import and export growth,bring huge economic benefits for the three parties and challenges.China can draw lessons from Japan and South Korea's modern technology and management experience of service industry to develop China's service trade and services,but it may impact the development of China's relatively weak domestic technology and knowledge intensive service industry.This text use the basic data provided by WIOD,by measuring China,Japan and South Korea service added value of exports and imports in 2000,2005,2010,2011 and then introducing it into the RCA measurement formula,comparing with the traditional measurement results using the basic data provided by UNCTAD,to know the real international competitiveness of the three parties' service trade.Based on the added value trade to analyse the export structure of China,Japan and South Korea service trade can reassess their development status and trend so as to know the real contidion of the international competitive of their trade in services clearly.Although the result of different measure indicators have some differences,the three's service trade competitiveness is weak.In terms of the divisions of service trade,China's traditional industry such as postal communication service,medical and health services industry etc.has comparative advantage;Japan has comparative advantage in the modern service industry such as the hotel restaurant industry,finance and other business services;South Korea has the comparative advantage in the commodity retailling and water transport and air transport,its transport has been developed to the world leading level.China,Japan and South Korea play to their comparative advantages in trade cooperation,and add new motivation for their economic development,regional economic growth and global economic services.And according to the content of both China and South Korea free trade agreement and the empirical data to put forward service trade negotiation strategy and to provide the basis in the aspect of trade for China,Japan and South Korea FTA's building.In the existing China-south Korea FTA,by analysing the system arrangement of trade in services in the global value chain of China and South Korea,open areas,the relationship between openess and competitiveness can find that most departments follow a rule that the openness level of departments which has low competitive power is low,and that has high competitive power has high openess power.A few departments are influenced by the import and export trade data and defects of index,big competitiveness index don't mean high competitive.And then according to the China and South Korea's service trade opening policy,the corresponding relationship between the competitiveness of the service trade snd sector competitiveness and the comparison between China and Japan's departmental competitive,the text analyze the open strategy that China and Japan's service trade department may implement.China will be moderately open archiecture industry,financial industry,hotels,restaurants and other business services industries in the service trade negotiations between China and Japan.It will draw lessons from Japan's advanced management experience and technology and at the same time avoid the impact of these industry.Compared with South Korea,Japan will open hignly to China's service industries,they protect their advantageous industries' development and at the same time take advantages of China's vast market space to develop market.It is advantageous to the Japan's economy to develop stable and healthy.It is worth noting that finding out the real condition of the international competitiveness is to study service trade openness of China,Japan and South Korea,competitive analysis is just to provide empirical data support.The study of the relationship between service commitment of China and Japan and their competitiveness,and the services commitments that China and Japan may take have a certain guiding significance for China to remain competitiveness of advantage industry,improve the competitiveness of the disadvantageous departments and effectively promote the construction of China,Japan and South Korea free trade area.
