China's chief negotiator for an FTA with Australia, Zhang Xiangchen, has told The Australian that all these sectors were now on the table, and that at the next round of talks in September, the countries would start debating the size of the special deal each would concede on goods and agriculture.
Dr Zhang, who is also China's chief negotiator with the World Trade Organisation, says: "We can understand Australia's spirited approach to obtain a very comprehensive arrangement. We believe it is WTO-plus. Basically, we share the will to substantially remove all trade barriers. We have no difficulty in doing that.
"Five years after joining the WTO, we need to take another big step forward in trade, and it is good for us to have this experiment with Australia rather than with other developed countries. It has strong agriculture and industry and services."
He noted that China's Premier Wen Jiabao, on his visit to Australia last month, said that this was China's first negotiation with a major developed country. "We have a very good political relationship, there is no dispute in political areas. And businesspeople in both countries are looking forward to a win-win outcome."
Exports to China soared 46 per cent to $16 billion and imports grew 19 per cent in 2005, when China overtook the US to become Australia's second trading partner after Japan. China retains a $5 billion surplus, but this will be cut in 2006 as liquefied natural gas shipments, worth $1 billion a year, have begun, and iron ore prices are expected to jump 19 per cent.
Statistics from the WTO, says Dr Zhang, show that FTAs between developed countries should normally cover 95 per cent of trade, and those between developing countries 85-90 per cent, "because they may need more exemptions". Dr Zhang says the talks with Australia were China's "most complicated, important and comprehensive" bilateral negotiations to date. "But we will stick to the 85-90 per cent."
Premier Wen used the word "comprehensive" about the FTA when he visited Australia, Dr Zhang said. "It's not a bad word. The question is, how to interpret it in market access negotiations."
He says that FTA talks with New Zealand are "less complicated and less difficult. They have a narrow area of discussion, so maybe they can be finalised in one or two years."
In Australia's case, he says, "we will need more time, but will try our best to make a major breakthrough on the substantial areas within one or two years. It's an ambitious goal".
China's President Hu Jintao will come to Sydney in late 2007 for the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation summit - a target date for an early agreement.
On resources - which dominate Australia's exports to China - Dr Zhang says: "We don't need to spend a lot of time in the FTA on this. It's quite obvious all the tariffs will go to zero."
Agriculture, he says, will be easier for China to settle than services - in part because it is easier to forecast the capacity, thus the trade impact.
"You have very good quality of products and good price and good potential in agriculture, in grains, sugar, wool, cotton and other products - land intensive products. And we are very interested in horticulture."
Chinese farmers "were concerned about losing their market" when an FTA began with the Association of South East Asian Nations, he says. "But we began to export more fruit, for instance to Thailand, as well as importing some. So we have our own advantages and expectations."
He says: "We assume that after the FTA we shall export more products. But much depends on the development of Chinese industry in the context of globalisation. Location and production and marketing are now quite global, and many Chinese producers, for instance of cars, are joint ventures, and are subject to global strategies."
He says that China preferred to deal with each topic sequentially. But he understood Australia's political imperative to work on the major subjects at the same time. "If you only focus on agriculture, the other sectors will be unhappy. So we can show flexibility." -
Dr Zhang on Friday met a delegation from the Australian telecommunications industry, "who asked us to allow Australian companies to compete with Chinese service suppliers".
"But in our WTO accession negotiations, telecommunications and financial services were very sensitive areas, related to security. We have a fragile financial system in China. So we made some reservations on our liberalisation schedule," Dr Zhang said.
In an FTA, though, "we have no other option but to discuss further liberalising these sectors, as well as legal services and tourism and education. There are chances for bilateral co-operation, but we shall have to be cautious.
"Our services sector is quite vulnerable. It is only 40 per cent of our economy, we are far behind other developing economies in this area, we have to catch up. But to my understanding, opening our industry is a good approach to doing so. Without liberalisation, we can't develop our services by themselves. The problem is, to what extent, by how many steps can we reach that goal."
He says that at Friday's talks the leader of the Chinese telecommunications delegation, a vice-minister, said that if China opened its market completely "Australia will kill our industry". The Australian counterpart responded, "We are too small to do that". Dr Zhang says "that's a typical dialogue" in this FTA round.
Talks began a year ago, but the first four rounds - until last week - comprised an exchange of information rather than negotiations. Last week, Australia led the shaping of these future talks by tabling the 15 chapters likely to be included in the final agreement - though without many of the crucial figures, which will be the subject of intense discussion through this year and next.
Australian chief negotiator Ric Wells led a delegation of 57 - which was "huge", says Dr Zhang, whose own team comprised 52. Dr Zhang describes Mr Wells as "a friend; we share a common goal" in trade liberalisation. They had both been heavily involved in China's accession to the WTO in Geneva.
The Australian team was pleased with the intensity of the engagement of their Chinese counterparts - who are involved on a broad front in trade negotiations, but have devoted substantial effort to consult with the wide number of other Chinese government agencies that need to sign off on any concessions to Australia. On intellectual property issues alone, 30 agencies are involved.
Dr Zhang says that he has held a meeting in Sydney with Chinese companies working in Australia. "We didn't get a lot of complaints. There were some difficulties in doing business, such as in getting visas, but I don't think that comes under my responsibility.
"We are concerned about barriers and regulations in Australia that discriminate against Chinese investment, and until now we haven't come across many. Australia has its own labour standard laws and so on, and they are legitimate. Foreign investors have to abide by the local laws and regulations, if they apply to all investors including locals."
Among the areas of the agreement on which the Chinese negotiators will now work, is that dealing with the movement of people in services. China wants access for Chinese stevedores in Australia, to load and unload ships with goods owned or part owned by Chinese firms; and it wants Chinese construction firms to be free to use Chinese workers in Australia. The resulting debate will hinge in part on whether such workers qualify as skilled or not.
In the past, China has been very reluctant to concede that some areas such as government procurement and investment would be covered in an FTA. But last week, they agreed in principle to include them.
Dr Zhang says that while multinational agreements are "fundamental for the trading system, maybe they go for a whole year without any movement". Progress, though, can proceed bilaterally.
China will soon start negotiating to join the WTO's government procurement agreement - which would give other countries within that agreement, including the US, better access to China. Australia, which wishes to preserve its more flexible approach, is not a member.
But now China has said it is willing to consider offering a separate deal to Australia. Dr Zhang says: "We understand Australia's concern and will discuss it."
On investment, which is not covered by the WTO, China's central Government is anxious about making commitments that may be difficult to implement, especially given the diverse conditions in far-flung provinces.
But trade and investment are rapidly becoming inseparable, as traders seek to move downstream and to build a bigger presence in important export markets such as China. While China encourages manufacturing investment, though, it retains elaborate restrictions on services - such as requirements to partner a Chinese firm, limits on foreign staff, and stipulated amounts to invest.
Australia wants "national treatment" - the same treatment as local companies - for its firms operating in China. China is willing to concede something similar to businesses once they are already on the ground, but wants to keep some of those barriers that make it hard for foreign firms, especially in services, to get in. -
