Abstract

미국은 2017년 1월 트럼프 행정부 출범 이후 2018년 3월 대중(對中) 추가관세 부과를 시작으로 2018년 8월에는 대내(對內) 외국인투자 규제를 한층 강화한 「외국인투자위험심사현대화법(FIRRMA: Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act)」 제정, 엔터티 리스트(Entity List) 등 수출규제를 다루고 있는 「수출통제개혁법(ECRA: Export Control Reform Act)」 제정, 그리고 중국산 통신기기의 정부조달 금지조치 등 본격적인 대중 디커플링 정책에 착수하였다. 2021년 1월 출범한 바이든 미국 행정부 역시 트럼프 행정부의 대중정책을 계승하고 있다. 본 연구는 미ㆍ중 경제관계가 갈등국면에 접어들었다는 인식하에, 대외경제관계 측면에서 우리나라와 유사한 입장에 놓여 있는 일본의 통상 대응 전략을 분석하여 우리 정부와 기업에 시사점을 제공하려는 목적에서 추진되었다. 미ㆍ중 갈등시대에서 일본의 통상 대응은 기존의 무역ㆍ투자 중심의 통상 대응 영역을 벗어나 리쇼어링 정책과 같은 글로벌 공급망 재편과 자국우선주의의 경제안전보장 전략으로 현저히 나타나고 있다. 국제협력 측면에서는 미국의 아태지역 내 대중 견제 전략에 대한 협력 양상으로 나타나고 있음을 감안하여, 본 연구는 일본의 통상 대응 전략에 대해 기존 연구보다 더 광범위하게 접근하였다. This research was conducted with the purpose of providing implications for the Korean government and companies amidst thegrowing US-China conflict by analyzing the trade strategies of a country that shares similar international settings with Korea: Japan. Chapter 2, “US-China Decoupling and China’s Response,” examines US-China decoupling policy, focusing on tariff imposition, export control, technology transfers, foreign investment controls, and government procurement. This study reveals that, although US-China economic relations have deteriorated to the point of partial decoupling or disengagement in high-tech sectors and other select areas of supply chains, it certainly is not up to the level of the US’s containment of the Soviet bloc in the traditional Cold War sense. Chapter 3, “Japan’s Reshaping of the Global Supply Network: Focusing on China,” attempts to verify whether the “China risk”—a notion that has been actively promoted by some in Japan since US-China frictions intensified in 2018, and escalated with the spread of COVID-19 in 2020—actually took place, and evaluates Japan’s “China+1” policy, which is the country’s hedging strategy toward China. The results reveal that although Japan’s import dependence on Chins is significantly high for some import products, this does not seem to bear any serious risk for Japan in that the said products can easily be substituted with imports from other countries.Chapter 4, “Japan’s Economic Security Strategy,” looks into Japan’s new economic security policy, focusing on Japan’s economic statecraft, reinforcing resilient supply chains and strategically important industries, and strengthening global supply chain with its “allies.”(the rest omitted)
