The superpower estate taking Great Power as the main body competes:
21 centuries , the whole world develop super estate only when retinue’s 10 countries have capability. The USA place lives in the first. Include Japan , Russia , China , Germany , France , United Kingdom , Italy , Brazil and India. Compete for Great Power who is in progress , super estate cooperation among nations can’t depend on prompt developing. Being worth paying attention to: China is a world superpower before 1000 , over the past 150 years, is defeated in the west , come down in the world for the developing country, as far as total supply and demand is concerned “but, still list as the world being next only to American economic giant.

Maddison: “International economy is recollected for 200 years” be hit by a version , be reformed publishing house , printing plate in 1997, 11th page of super estate rise and fall and cooperation among nations superpower rise and fall approach is: Development of new technology , technology maturity and metastasis , the system changes, politics and the natural conditions change. China and acient Roman Empire Great Wall are ancient super estate. In the Middle Ages the Chinese long range rules the roost: Super estate is Great Wall and a water conservancy. Now and then Chinese A.D. industry in 1000 and the weapon are very developed , iron output is annual 125,000 tons , queen United Kingdom reaches 76,000 tons just now for 700 years. In 1840 United Kingdom becomes world great power , takes up world industry 45%, world commerce 21%, super estate is spinning and weaving , railroad , coal and cast iron. 18 ends of the century arrive at 19 centuries , super estate is spinning and weaving , coal , iron-smelting , mechanical industry, since USA network of railways flourish , reason why are developed in USA. 19 ends of the century arrive at the beginning of 20 centuries , super estate is machinery , iron and steel , chemical industry , routine military affairs , shipbuilding. 1920′s arrives at Second World War , super estate is an automobile , aviation , chemistry , iron and steel , routine military affairs , shipbuilding. Postwar by the end of this century, super estate is nuke industry , astronavigation , electron , aviation , routine military affairs , the automobile develops to the whole world scale, technology depending on the whole world scale.
Chinese super estate has started from military affairs , shipbuilding and steel industry that foreign affairs sends at the modern times , has built 19 munitions factories: Anqing inner ordnance institute , Hubei firearms factory , Jiang Nan create a bureau , Tianjin machine bureau , Jin Ling create the bureau , the Fuzhou boat political situation. New China is in the fifties the first Five-Year Plan period , lays on Soviet Union 150 projects aiding. 44 military affairs industrial enterprise , 12 aviation industry , 16 10 electronics industry , armament industry among them 2 aerospace industry. 4 shipbuilding industry. 20 metallurgical industry , 7 iron and steel , 13 non-ferrous metal among them. 7 chemical industry. Machinery processes 24. 52 the sources of energy industrial enterprise , coal and electric power among them every 25 2 petroleum. Light industry and 3 medicine enterprise. Start in 1962 during the period of economy is very difficult in 1964 A-bomb, is successful , in 1967 the hydrogen bomb , artificial satellite in 1970 , science test satellite in 1971 , ocean-spanning rocket , nuclear-powered submarine are in a row successful; Remote-sensing satellites in 1975. Approach developing super estate in after reform and opening-up is transfer of military technology to civil use , enters domestic and foreign market mainly, if Sichuan of electron headquarter long rainbow, industry corporation of the weapon Jia Ling motorcycle , automobile; Have introduced nuclear power station , technologies such as computer , carrier booster , aircraft.
Super estate , development in recent years centering on national defence estate become globalization estate, especially in capitalism allied country room. 70-80 all-round age cooperations models are F- – - 16 fighter planes , reason USA and Belgiums , Denmark , Hollands , Norway coproduction. Development strategic alliance of weapon has appeared , national defence enterprise has bought together in the late years, the national defense industry intersection hold share. More than 20 developing country has participated in several hundred weapon cooperations project , Brazils , South Africa , Korea Republic , Israels , Singapore and Taiwan have been on the march by uniting in the developed country studying and producing , has built self military affairs industrial base gradually.
National defense industry globalization more the earth’s surface munitions childbirth now and trade unify , the new characteristic that science and technology develops at present if Russia and India sign the cooperation agreement in 10 in 1999, is development of soldiers and civilians dual purpose technology by the fact that compensation trade waiting for a form to carry out so-called package “munitions business , includes military goods trade , civil-use goods trade , military training and manoeuver,aircraft having formed American mordent- – - McDonald-Douglas, the benz automobile following morals waits for the globalization agent of multinational corporation national defense industry to have: Share the safety studying risk , ensuring a collective, civil passenger aircraft the super estate joining the scale carrying out an international is competed for if are 150 large-scale, the whole world Asia-Pacific area of need having 16000 over the coming 20 checking to reach the whole world total demand 42% the above 300 seat aircraft need, for 1710. USA Boeing Company forecasts North America will buy 7836 aircraft in addition , Europe and Asia will buy 6797 5214 and of aircraft down respectively. Asia surpasses to Europe and America , becomes the maximal marketplace of Boeing Company. Large-scale all civil passenger aircraft childbirth is already composed in reply europe airbus monopoly by USA mordent.
The 4-big, country requires that the development comparative advantage developing country never can be very naive , accept the globalization slogan blindly, China can not especially. Be hit by the minitype developing country, those in politics especially cling to can lose sovereign right for price , change economic benefits with the American country. Suppose that Japan postwar save large amount of national defence funds under placing self in the USA nuclear umbrella, provide war logistic services to USA , earn beautiful round foreign currency in Korean War and vietnam war, become the primitive accumulation that economy high speed increases; Latin America is American politics dependency , realize economic takeoff with the introduction of foreign capital, countries such as Mexico brews the beautiful circle even actively melt, sovereign right gives economy to USA.
Great Power is not right away identical , those are in the geopolitics , political and economic systems especially , aspect different countries the ideology and culture in USA. The Russia breakdown with self, not having got sufficient aiding of west , has lost economy social stability on the contrary , neither has come invest international capital.
China is Great Power , the parallel static state benefit being able to not adopt the small country is the development strategy theoretical foundation. Don’t say that this way has brought about being dependent on to the Western countries for the moment, even if hypothesis international environment is always fine , can not finance storm happened this event, this way still can not be brought about by China prosperous and powerful. Any financial magnates , any countries, China who has all digested without end. The Western countries fund , stream can merge into great river to those Southeast Asia small countries , moisten their entire country; The west fund stream arrives at but China , becomes small puddles of water only , resolves the without end common problem. China produces some products if 13 population, being the Western countries , which country can absorb?
Being economic giant , a lot of population of Chinese evidently is one of country strength symbol. Improve the people quality , ensure that matter is rich , society is ordered , civilization , level of education living improve, basis being the Chinese nation stand on one’s own feet. China must have bigger economic control as economic giant, behaviour is key element about nation’s economy and people’s livelihood to home and abroad , it’s the direction being on the move has a control ability, economy outputs and the direction control ability to home and abroad , working out caring for and participate in the international economy actively rule of the game, embodies Chinese benefit in working out middle.
Participating in the international division of labor certainly is necessary , only not being able to judge by parallel benefit of static state so-called, China can only put resource into labor-intensive industries if the textile, for instance , producing is more and more many right away, more and more good clothes and shoes, USA only is capable to do resource arriving at technology-intensive industry all together , childbirth is more and more many, more and more big aircraft and artificial satellite. China goes to exchange 1 USA aircraft- – - – this way and then, with 100 million pair of shoes , benefit is more and more big comparatively wouldn’t it? Even if the damage what to exchange like this , to have let alone to national security, being also extremely no paying on economic benefits. Technological upgrading of labour-intensive product difficult to, needs saturation very easy to accept the population restricting, the product need elasticity is low , reduces a price being able to not expand need. Skilled-intensive products escalates but very quickly , can open up new need unceasingly. The developed country evidently beneficial to comparing prices therefore, exchanged , domestic similar industry and agriculture scissors gap. Produce labour-intensive product if such a Great Power of Chinese concentrates resource, also, the whole world need accommodates without end , very quickly excessively , cuts price by. This it is the Chinese export during the past 20 to increase by very quickly , national wealth increases but slow fundamental cause. Can China only concentrate resource producing clothes? Produce clothes being therefore likely to gain parallel benefit in international division of labor? American certainly does not worry about that China does not produce clothes for it, because of the country who produces clothes’s is not only China , it can be secondary completely the developing country gains clothes other. But, China if unable secondary USA acquisition OS waits for high-tech products , other way is right away not bad. This is a difference , producing clothes and producing new economy OS is really not to divide the work equally. According to that parallel benefit of static state , free trade “principle and policy that gains puts up, be the developed country weapon of theory , harmful for the developing country but. Such says during the past a world country with a large population especially to China , ought to be elaborate about dynamic parallel benefit , foster self strategic industry, otherwise, only is capable to do the ranks world great power is banished out in 21 centuries , may not including India if talking about equal to US Japan-EU ,Brazil also needs to exceed us.
Be that the developed country multinational corporation passes the transnational merger in leading factor whole world industrial restructuring, buy with joint investment form to global expansion. The multinational corporation investment to developing country labor-intensive project , the result sometimes being that the inside divides the work, the joint venture still is commanded by head office overseas. Maximal foreign-funded enterprise of Chinese is German BASF , have 9 chemical enterprises in China , arrive at from the nylon , carpet , alcohol , coating material , vitamin , ethene , dyestuff , latex, to disperse the body, system forming series division of work. Enterprise accepts administrative system (departments or regions) division in the homeland, the share being short of the inherent technology and producing connection, even if grasping major part , technology also very difficult to be able to defeat a multinational corporation, commerce and the finance control. Then, Chinese if self development strategy estate may? That a lot of popular feeling stores misgivings, in other words , being that the implement closes the country to external contacts every day in criticizing summon a matchmaker during the past 20 , advocates that the China-foreign technology works together, entrust the hope developing high-tech and strategic industry to the care of the developed country on one’s body. Our country 150 large-scale civil aviation of seat of self fabrication is gushed the dyadic aircraft of vapor “transporting ten “, is already, is made success, but one side is discarded on 1980, have gone and having composed in reply USA McDonald-Douglas coproduction , have born fruit in mordent merger in 1998 McDonald-Douglas, takes advantage of machine and China having broken the promise , China can only produce 50- – - 80 branch line aircraft now , mordent and Airbus but, have already been designing 300 aerodreadnaught. China needs large-scale 1600 entrance civil passenger aircraft over the coming 20, account for 1/10 of the whole world need, self is not able to give birth to a child but , this is able what “parallel benefit to get could it be said that?
Self does not worth Chinese to the confidence being independent developing strategic industry, outside the effect eliminating pro-America interest group of upper strata and biography matchmaker guiding, so-called “mainstream economics being popular in China for since the nineties”single-faceted advocate parallel static state benefit debate, diction the person fault.
Free trade already becomes inflexible dogma of west economy boundary. Occidental’s instilling into has controlled the world public opinion already to a great extent, to such an extent as many people of the developing country also believe in, road of development economy really only when free trade policy is really. Control down in this thought, somebody has applied secretly scheme against in general even the model indiscriminately in all apparent seriousness “, has figured “China out if accepting a series of trade liberalization measure, actual GDP time 2005 is able to improve 1.5% therefore waiting a minute. According to that this view of the same class , such a developing country of Chinese need to want to development economy , to ought to put free trade policy into practice right away,abandon all protection to homeland estate. Lately, somebody uses the “CGE model “, basic thought still is that free trade , zero customs duties are best much though complicated. A lot of Chinese “mainstream Economists “also says: Free trade is to say efficiency’s , be to produce a problem, more average revenue few being able to give way to every individuals; The protectionism is to be in charge of fairness , be assignment problem , everyone’s average welfare meeting reduces, because of protection always protects a part of person.
Famous Chinese left wing Economists left banks up with demonstration’s greatly on the contrary: Protecting childish estate is to resolve efficiency problem’s exactly , free trade in the long run, do not have high efficiency.
In history, west self develops Jiu Bu Shi by free trade policy. Close about 200 years had assumed international economy most those developed Western countries of powerful country, if United Kingdom , France , USA , Germany , Japan, the developing country once were that industry and commerce is behind other country in in history, protect strictly, be only after self becomes first (be A-1 at least) economy powerful country of world, turn to putting free trade policy into practice just now. The British government once used the most exceeding means to protect in the homeland textile industry , forbad homeland subjects of a feudal ruler to use the other country textile goods when (the textile is the most advanced estate , at that time) thinking that the British textile is behind other country greatly, United Kingdom exactly is to depend on Industrial Revolution beginning from the textile “, become the world the first economy powerful country.
Compare USA with the South America country, economic development how harmful to being able to know free trade policy. 19 beginning of century their economy develops not obvious difference of level , (arable land , the race all look at and appraise other economic conditions if per capita) about the same. American has opposed British unceasingly in 19 centuries intervening whose internal affair , has put altitude trade protectionism into practice to the manufacturing , has developed up advanced industry and economy very quickly right away; South America confuses , puts free trade policy into practice by friendly gesture of the British government but in every country , allow coming to destroy self manufacturing British industry, ranks arriving at for the first time finally all 20 generation time drop-in Third World countries. The failure that entrance replaces since the common people knows Latin-America country 1950′s only, does not know exactly being to have been reached 19 centuries free trade policy suffering but , only vergence “entrance replaces “. We have reason suspicion , play up Latin-America country entrance replaces the strategy failure , shutting up not carrying free trade failure going over, is that developed Western countries is that acting on self’s own destroying a backward nation’s develops , propagating and theory forever, keeping economic advantages but being engaged in mislead.
China is forced to open to the outside world , average customs duties leads 5% after Opium War, average customs duties of USA is 18.5% in 1912. USA already was the industrialized country at that time , the high tariff still protected homeland estate , customs duties protected China only when so low , why could develop Chinese industry! People now is all criticized at that time Westernization Movement, the effort thinking that its feudalism nature has been destined that it develops Chinese industry is impossibly successful. The backward nation light is that not decent customs duties protects this bar in fact , is destined that industry can not develop right away.
Compare cost theory with secretly scheme against in general even model , use dead sight to go to treat the essential productive factors efficacy, nonrecognition essential productive factors efficacy depends on the history producing , nonrecognition foreign trade policy can affect efficacy. The efficacy height is not innate , it studies and takes exercise in depends on people hits the target in practice on pretty big degree. Availability only is capable to do increasingly much, increasingly highly , height , the person cost of production gets over increasingly also right away as soon as the same kind product that enterprise had produced produces efficiency increasingly much the number of times that people does the same species job, low, this law is called the effect “studying”. The American work fault is measured and calculated: The output one kind of the type aircraft’s is accumulated increases by one times , cost of production may reduce 20%. Can cost down from producing the first aircraft to producing second aircraft right away 20%, but after producing out 10,000 aircraft, want reproduction 10,000 aircraft only the cost being able to reduce 20%.
Consider absurdness of the benefit studying an effect, but knowing static state comparison. The new product the developing country is produced is “few , the efficacy relative to old product is lower than the developed country greatly, cost is relatively higher than the developed country. Need to make relative new product cost descend, the mainest approach is to produce much. Relative new product cost initial cannot be studied an effect very much right away forever if height, running after the short-term economic effect,the meeting never improves the relative efficacy of new product. The childbirth protecting these in the homeland new products with great amount customs duties, uses the deficit producing their enterprise being unlikely to , these new product childbirth only is capable to do development , father , 19 centuries Germany Economists Liszt words of theory says with protecting childish estate , protecting customs duties sacrifice’s is value now , is development of national productivity but. Liszt once pointed out sharply , free trade policy was that developed country strangles whose means of future competitor most.
Li Jiatu’s relatively parallel benefit basis is labour theory of value; Having arrived at key element gift theory has become “land , physical labour and “various capital key element theory right away; Li of Angtifu paradox points out but , that USA exports to is labour-intensive product but entering port is a capital-intensive product, opposit to comparative advantage. Have new making an explanation thereupon , think that American comparative advantage lies in the skilled labour force, this is an initial “manpower capital “concept. There be need to prefer theory afterwards , make an explanation why the trade between the developed country, this is to consider from need but is not from the angle supplying than the trade between the developing country and the developed country develops quicker. Be so-called “technology gap theory have value most “, point out comparative advantage coming from the Yu technology gap, the technology gap is the result that a stage invests in in the front but , combine technology development with product life cycle theory , can from the change making an explanation international trade structure on development: One product is that the capital technology-intensive , becoming right away in becoming a long range is intensive in the scheduled time being innovative, before maturation period become skilled labor-intensive in the degenerating stage becomes general labor-intensive right away.
That the gap comments on a “technology “telling us , comparative advantage is not natural, but is that in history is that investment takes form, is to be able to cultivate and to change unceasingly. A country such big of Chinese is especially national, must carry out huge investments in a historical period, train self strategic industry, especially the basis FOAK. Because of most basically , most the core technology, self develops for instance , the computer chip , the on the plane battle radar, can only , American is to be able to not sell , will give us by joint investment neither. Do not know these core technology well, our country industry and external science and technology be dependent on will will be more and more high, before crucial moment be under the control of USA surely, this problem says the international status problem being a Chinese fundamentally , whether is contented with the problem pawning the American client country or not.

以大国为主体的超级大国产业竞争:21世纪中国参与国际竞争的环境与定位[下] 21世纪,全世界只有10个左右的国家有能力发展超级产业。美国位居第一。还包括日本,俄罗斯、中国、德国、法国、英国、意大利、巴西和印度。为了进行大国竞争,超级产业的国际合作也在迅速发展。值得注意的是:中国在1000年前是世界超级大国,150年以来败于西方,沦落为“发展中国家“,但是就经济总量来说,仍旧列为世界仅次于美国的经济大国。

超级产业的兴替与国际合作
超级大国兴替的途径是:新技术的发展,技术的成熟和转移,制度的变迁,政治和自然条件的变化。中国和古罗马帝国的长城是古代的超级产业。中世纪中国长期称雄:超级产业是长城和水利。公元1000年时中国的工业和武器非常发达,铁产量年12.5万吨,700年后英国才达到7.6万吨。1840年英国成为世界大国,占世界工业45%,世界贸易21%,超级产业是纺织,铁路,煤炭和铸铁。18世纪末到19世纪,超级产业是纺织,煤炭,炼铁,机械工业,由于美国铁路网的发达,所以在美国得到发展。19世纪末到20世纪初,超级产业是机械,钢铁,化工,常规军事,造船。20世纪20年代到第二次世界大战,超级产业是汽车,航空,化学,钢铁,常规军事,造船。战后到本世纪末,超级产业是核工业,宇航,电子,航空,常规军事,汽车.发展到全球规模,依靠全球规模的技术。
近代中国的超级产业始于洋务派的军事,造船和钢铁工业,建立了19个军火工厂:安庆内军械所,湖北枪炮厂,江南制造局,天津机器局,金陵制造局,福州船政局。新中国在50年代第一个五年计划期间,安排苏联援助的150项工程。军事工业企业44个,其中航空工业12个,电子工业10个,兵器工业16个,航天工业2个。船舶工业4个。冶金工业20个,其中钢铁7个,有色金属13个。化学工业7个。机械加工24个。能源工业企业52个,其中煤炭和电力各25个,石油2个。轻工业和医药企业3个。1962年在经济非常困难的期间上马原子弹,1964年成功,1967年氢弹,1970年卫星,1971年科学试验卫星,洲际火箭,核潜艇连续成功;1975年遥感卫星。在改革开放以后发展超级产业的途径主要是军转民,进入国内外市场,如电子部的四川长虹,兵器工业总公司的嘉陵摩托,汽车;引进了核电站,计算机,运载火箭,飞机等技术。
近年来以国防产业为核心的超级产业,发展成为全球化产业,特别在资本主义盟国间。70-80年代全面合作的典型是F—16战斗机,由美国和比利时,丹麦,荷兰,挪威合作生产。近年出现了武器开发的战略联盟,国防企业并购,国防工业的交叉持股。20多个发展中国家参与了数百项武器合作项目,巴西,南非,韩国,以色列,新加坡和台湾通过于发达国家联合进行研究和生产,逐渐建立了自己的军事工业基础。
国防工业全球化更多地表现在军火生产和贸易一体化,通过补偿贸易等形式进行.所谓”一揽子”军火交易,包括军品贸易,民品贸易,军事训练和演习,如 1999年俄罗斯和印度签署10年合作协议.目前科技发展的新特点,是军民两用技术的发展,形成了美国的波音—麦道飞机,法德的奔驰汽车等跨国公司.国防工业全球化的动因有:分担研究风险,保障集体安全,并进行国际规模的超级产业竞争.如150座大型民航客机,未来20年全世界有16000架的需求.亚太区对300个座位以上飞机的需求,将达到全球总需求的42%,为1710架。美国波音公司预测北美将添购7836架飞机,欧洲和亚洲将分别买下6797架和5214架飞机。亚洲超给欧美,成为波音公司最大市场。全部大型民航客机的生产已经被美国波音和欧洲空中客车垄断。
四、大国需要动态比较优势
发展中国家万万不可以太天真,盲目接受“全球化“的口号,中国尤其不可以。中小型发展中国家,特别是那些在政治上依附与美国的国家,可以丧失主权为代价,换得经济利益。比如日本在战后把自己置于美国核保护伞之下,节约大量国防经费,在朝鲜战争和越南战争中为美国提供战争后勤服务,赚取美圆外汇,成为经济高速增长的原始积累;拉丁美洲作为美国的政治附庸,以引进外资实现经济起飞,墨西哥等国家甚至积极酝酿美圆化,将经济主权交给美国。
大国就不相同,特别是那些在地缘政治,政治经济体制,意识形态和文化方面于美国不同的国家。俄罗斯以自己的瓦解,并没有得到西方足够的援助,反而丧失了经济社会稳定,国际资本也不来投资。
中国是个大国,不能采取小国的静态比较利益作为发展战略的理论基础。姑且不说这种方式造成了对西方国家的依赖,就算假设国际环境一直良好,不会发生金融风暴这种事件,这种方式仍然不能给中国带来富强。任何一个金融寡头,任何一个国家,都消化不了中国。西方国家的资金,流到东南亚那些小国能汇成大河,滋润它们整个国家;可是西方的资金流到中国,只变成小水洼,解决不了普遍的问题。中国13人口,如果都为西方国家生产某些产品,哪个国家能吸收呢?
作为经济大国,中国众多人口显然是国家力量的象征之一。提高人民素质,保证物质丰富,社会有序,生活文明,文化程度提高,是中华民族自立的基础。中国作为经济大国,必须具有较大的经济控制力,表现为对国内外有关国计民生的要素,其流动方向具有控制能力,以及对国内外经济产出方向的控制能力,关心并积极参与世界经济游戏规则的制定,在制定中体现中国的利益。
参与国际分工当然是必要的,但不能够依据静态比较利益,如此,中国就只能把资源投入劳动密集型产业如纺织业,比如生产越来越多,越来越好的衣服和鞋子,美国就会把资源集中到技术密集型产业,生产越来越多,越来越大的飞机和卫星。然后,中国以1亿双鞋去交换美国1架飞机—-这样,比较利益岂不是越来越大吗? 这样的交换,且不说对国家安全有什么危害,即使在经济利益上也是极不合算的。 劳动密集型产品难以技术升级,需求受到人口的限制,非常容易饱和,产品的需求弹性低,降低价格不能扩大需求。而技术密集型产品升级非常快,可以不断开拓新的需求。因此,交换的比价显然有利于发达国家,类似国内的工农业剪刀差。如果中国这样的大国集中资源生产劳动密集型产品,全世界的需求也容纳不了,很快就过剩,降价。这就是中国20年来的出口增加非常快,但是国民财富增加不快的基本原因。 中国只能集中资源生产衣服吗?生产衣服就能在国际分工中获得比较利益吗?美国人当然不担心中国不给它生产衣服,因为生产衣服的国家不只是中国,它完全可以从其他发展中国家获得衣服。但是中国如果不能从美国获得操作系统等高科技产品,就没有别的办法可以得到。这就是区别,生产衣服和生产新经济操作系统并不是平等的分工。 按照静态比较利益,所得出的”自由贸易”原则和政策,是发达国家的理论武器,而对发展中国家不利.特别是对于中国这样一个世界人口大国来说,应该讲求动态的比较利益,扶植自己的战略产业,否则,就会在21世纪被驱逐出世界大国行列,不要说与美日欧并驾齐驱,可能连印度,巴西也要超过我们。
是发达国家跨国公司在主导全球产业结构调整,通过跨国合并,收购和合资形式向全球扩张。跨国公司向发展中国家劳动密集型项目的投资,往往是内部分工的结果,海外合资企业仍然受总公司指挥。中国最大的外资企业是德国的巴斯夫,在中国有9家化工企业,从尼龙,地毯,醇,涂料,维生素,乙烯,染料,乳胶,到分散体,形成系列产品分工体系。国内企业受到行政系统(条条块块)的分割,缺乏内在的技术和生产联系,即使掌握大部分股份,也很难敌得过跨国公司的技术,商业和金融控制。 那么,中国人自己发展战略产业是否可能?许多人心存疑虑,或者说是20年来传媒工具天天在批判闭关自守,鼓吹中外技术合作,把发展高科技和战略产业的希望寄托在发达国家身上。我国自己制造的150座大型民航喷汽式飞机“运十“,已经在1980年制造成功,但被弃置一旁,去和美国麦道合作生产,结果在 1998年波音兼并了麦道,借机和中国毁了约,现在中国只能生产50—80座的支线飞机,而波音和空中客车,已经在设计300座的巨型飞机了。未来 20年,中国需要进口1600架大型民航客机,占全世界需求的1/10,但是自己不能够生产,这难道能够取得什么“比较利益“吗?
中国人自己对独立发展战略产业信心不足,除去上层亲美利益集团和传媒导向的影响以外,90年代以来在中国流行的所谓“主流派经济学“,片面鼓吹静态的比较利益论,难辞其咎。
自由贸易已经成为西方经济界不可动摇的教条。西方人的灌输已经在很大程度上控制了世界的舆论,以致发展中国家的许多人也相信,只有自由贸易政策才是真正的发展经济之路。在这种思想支配下,有人还煞有介事地搬用可计算一般均衡模型,”算出了”中国如果接受一系列贸易自由化措施,2005年时的实际GDP会因此提高1.5%等等。按照这一类的论调,中国这样的发展中国家要想发展经济,就应当实行自由贸易政策,放弃对本国产业的一切保护措施。最近又有人使用”CGE模型”,虽然复杂多了,基本思想还是自由贸易,零关税最好。中国许多”主流派经济学家”也说:自由贸易是讲效率的,是生产问题,可以让每一个人的平均收入更多一些;保护主义是管公平,是分配问题,每个人平均的福利会降低,因为保护总是保护一部分人。
中国著名的左翼经济学家左大培论证的恰恰相反:保护幼稚产业恰恰是解决效率问题的,自由贸易从长远看,并不具有高效率。
历史上,西方自己就不是靠自由贸易政策发展起来的。近200年来担当过世界经济最强国的那些西方发达国家,如英国、法国、美国、德国、日本,在历史上都曾经是工商业落后于别的国家的”发展中国家”,对新兴产业严格保护,只是在自己成为世界第一(至少是第一流)的经济强国之后,才转而实行自由贸易政策。当英国的纺织业还大大落后于其它国家时(那时纺织业是最”先进”的产业),英国政府曾经用最极端的手段保护本国的纺织工业,禁止本国臣民使用别国纺织品,英国正是靠从纺织业开始的”产业革命”,成为世界第一经济强国。
比较美国与南美国家,可以知道自由贸易政策如何有害于经济发展。19世纪初它们的经济发展水平没有明显差别,其它的经济条件(如人均可耕地面积、人种)都相差不多。在19世纪美国人不断反对英国人干涉其内政,对制造业实行高度贸易保护主义,很快就发展起了最先进的工业和经济;南美各国却被英国政府的”友好”姿态所迷惑,实行自由贸易政策,听任英国的工业来摧毁自己的制造业,到20世际初终于全部落入第三世界国家的行列。世人只知道拉美国家20世纪50年代以来进口替代的失败,却不知道正是吃够了19世纪自由贸易政策的苦头,才转向”进口替代”。我们有理由怀疑,大肆渲染拉美国家进口替代战略的失败,闭口不提过去自由贸易的失败,是西方发达国家为破坏落后国家的自主发展,永远保持经济优势而搞的宣传和理论误导。
鸦片战争之后中国被迫开放,平均关税率5%,1912年美国平均关税是18.5%。美国当时已经是工业发达国家,仍然高关税保护本国产业,中国只有那么低的关税保护,中国的工业怎么能发展!现在的人都批评那时的洋务运动,认为它的封建主义本质注定了它发展中国工业的努力不可能成功。其实落后国家光是没有象样的关税保护这一条,就注定工业不能发展。
比较成本学说和可计算一般均衡模型,用僵死的眼光去看待生产要素的生产率,不承认生产要素的生产率取决于生产的历史,不承认对外贸易政策可以影响生产率。生产率的高低不是天生的,它在相当大的程度上取决于人们在实践中的学习和锻炼。人们干同一种工作的次数越多,工作效率就会越高,一个企业生产过的同一种产品越多,生产效率就越高,其生产成本也就越低,这种规律称为“学习效应“。美国人作过测算:一种型号的飞机的累积产量增加一倍,生产成本可降低20%。从生产第一架飞机到生产第二架飞机就可以降低成本20%,而生产出一万架飞机之后,要再生产一万架飞机才可以降低20%的成本。
考虑学习效应,可知静态比较利益之荒谬。发展中国家生产“新产品“少,相对于旧产品的生产率大大低于发达国家,相对成本高于发达国家。要使新产品的相对成本降下来,最主要的途径就是多生产。新产品的相对成本最初很高,如追求短期经济效益,就永远得不到学习效应,新产品相对生产效率永不会提高。以高额关税保护本国的这些新产品的生产,使生产它们的企业不至于亏损,这些新产品的生产就会发展,用保护幼稚产业理论之父、19世纪的德国经济学家李斯特的话说,保护关税牺牲的是现在的价值,得到的却是国家生产力的发展。李斯特曾经一针见血地指出,自由贸易政策是最发达的国家扼杀其未来的竞争对手的手段。
李嘉图的相对比较利益的基础是劳动价值论;到了要素禀赋理论就变成了”土地、劳动和资本”多种要素理论;但是里昂惕夫悖论指出,美国出口的是劳动密集型产品而进口的是资本密集型产品,与比较优势相反。于是又有新的解释,认为美国的比较优势在于熟练劳动力,这就是最初的”人力资本”概念。后来又有需求偏好理论,解释为什么发达国家之间的贸易,比发展中国家与发达国家之间的贸易发展得更快,这是从需求而不是从供给角度考虑问题。最有价值的是所谓”技术差距论”,指出比较优势来自于技术差距,而技术差距是前一个阶段投资的结果,把技术发展和产品寿命周期理论结合起来,可以从动态上解释国际贸易结构的变化:一个产品在创新期是技术密集型的,在成长期就变成资本密集型的,在成熟期变成熟练劳动密集型的,在衰退期就变成一般劳动密集型的。
“技术差距论“告诉我们,比较优势不是天然的,而是历史上是投资形成的,是可以培养并不断变动的。一个国家特别是中国这样的大国,必须在一个历史阶段中进行巨额投资,培养自己的战略产业,特别是基础性的创新。因为最基本,最核心的技术,比如电脑芯片、飞机上的战斗雷达,只能自己开发,美国人是不会卖,也不会通过合资给我们的。不掌握这些核心技术,我国工业和科学技术的对外依赖度将会越来越高,在关键时刻必然受制于美国,这个问题根本上说就是一个中国的国际地位问题,甘心不甘心当美国的附属国的问题。
