“…It further clarifies the direction of improvement of the negative list under the new situation (Shi, 2018). China must address existing laws and regulations that are incompatible with the new regime, clarify key issues that the new law fails to address, issue clearer guidance on national security, shorten its 'negative list', promote opening up and enhance regulatory transparency (Zhang, 2022). There are still important differences in institutional effects between China's current negative list system of foreign investment management and the international investment agreement based on the negative list model.…”

The international shipping industry is unique and important. The negative list related to the opening up of the shipping industry is an important part of the reform and innovation of China’s pilot free trade zones. In recent years, as countries around the world continue to promote the process of opening up in the fields of trade and services, the negative list system has been used more in international investment and trade agreements. In the field of International Shipping, how to correctly grasp and apply the negative list system is an important topic. Starting with the general concept of the negative list system of shipping market access, this paper reviews and summarizes the developmental processes of the negative list of foreign capital market access in the shipping field since the establishment of Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone. It compares and analyzes the international contracting practice of the European Union and the United States as reflected in the negative list of shipping market access. It equally points out that the system connection between the negative list still existing in China’s shipping field and the international high standard negative list is not enough. It argues that the transparency of the negative list still needs to be further strengthened, as the rules behind the list and the awareness of its risk prevention are weak. In view of these hitches, this paper makes some suggestions that are tilted towards improving the negative list system of China’s shipping market access. It also continues the optimization of the negative list of shipping market access and the improvement of a conscious awareness aimed at avoiding the possible risks of the negative list. Finally, it makes a strong argument for a continuous improvement of China’s international shipping competitiveness.

“…Foreign investment level: Based on the changing rate of foreign investment dependence and considering the impact of the pandemic on the Yellow River Basin's foreign trade (Zhang et al 2022), the low and high rates for the forecast period from 2020 to 2025 were set as 0.5% and 0.75%, respectively, while the low and high rates for the period from 2026 to 2030 were set as 1.5% and 2%, and the low and high rates for the period from 2031 to 2035 were set as 2.5% and 3.5%. The specific parameter settings are shown in Table 10.…”

By analyzing the mechanism by which industrial structure adjustment influences the reduction in pollution and carbon emissions (RPCE) in the Yellow River Basin, in this study, we calculated data for the RPCE in 57 prefecture-level cities from 2011 to 2020. Based on the Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology (STIRPAT) model, we empirically examined factors affecting the RPCE in the Yellow River Basin. Additionally, different scenarios were established in order to simulate and predict the future trend of the RPCE in the Yellow River Basin. In the study, we found the following: (1) The RPCE in the Yellow River Basin shows a positive trend, with lower levels in upstream Gansu and Ningxia and particularly severe conditions in Zhongwei, Shizuishan, and Wuhai, making these key areas for RPCE. (2) Moreover, the RPCE effect of the advanced industrial structure in the Yellow River Basin is superior to that of the rationalized industrial structure, economic growth and population increases are conducive to RPCE, foreign investors in the Yellow River Basin tend to invest more in high-energy-consuming industries, and there is a “pollution haven” effect. (3) In terms of regional heterogeneity, the impact of industrial structure adjustment on the RPCE in the lower and middle reaches is greater than that in the upstream regions. (4) The acceleration of the transformation and upgrading of industry, stabilization of the population growth rate, and promotion of high-quality economic development are the optimal development paths for RPCE in the Yellow River Basin.
