Abstract

In the period between 2015 and 2020, we have witnessed an increase in ‘system friction’ in the trade and investment relations between the EU and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). This paper focuses on the meaning of this notion of ‘system friction’, originally coined by Sylvia Ostry and on how the EU and especially the European Commission reacted to this friction. This notion might present an alternative to the notion of ‘system rivalry’. The result of system friction in the relation between the EU and the PRC had been a convergence towards more trade defensive moves. A form of managed trade with help of a ratified Investment treaty between the two sides might be a potential outcome.

中欧经济关系中的“制度摩擦”与欧盟的反应

在2015年至2020年期间，我们目睹了欧盟与中华人民共和国(PRC)之间贸易和投资关系中的“制度摩擦”增加。本文的重点是“制度摩擦”这个概念的含义，最初是由西尔维娅·奥斯特利提出的，以及欧盟，特别是欧盟委员会如何应对这种摩擦。这个概念可能是“系统竞争”概念的另一种选择。欧盟与中国之间的制度摩擦的结果是向更多的贸易防御行动趋同。在双方批准的投资条约的帮助下，某种形式的管理贸易可能是一个潜在的结果。
