改革开放以来,我国外商投资企业发展很快,但外商直接把资金投入商贸行业,长期以来是一个“禁区”。这个“禁区”应不应该投?现在有无必要继续存在下去呢?笔者认为,在改革开放之初,国家限制兴办商贸三资企业是可以理解的。但是改革开放进入新的阶段,如果把兴办商贸三资企业继续作为禁区,不利于商品经济的发展和商品流通的扩大。一个国家的经济发展进入国际化的趋势,随之而来的是大市场、大流通、大外贸格局的形成,从根本上冲破传统的产业分工,旧的产业格局和高度集中的管理体制即将打破,代之而起的是工农结合、工贸结合、优势互补,技工贸一体化、集团化、股份化多功能综合发展的经济模式。西方发达国 Since the reform and opening up, China’s foreign-invested enterprises have developed rapidly, but foreign investors directly invest funds in the trade and commerce industries, which has long been a “forbidden zone”. Should the “forbidden zone” be voted for? Is it necessary to continue to exist now? The author believes that at the beginning of the reform and opening up, it was understandable for the state to restrict the establishment of foreign-funded enterprises. However, reform and opening up have entered a new stage. If the establishment of foreign-invested and foreign-funded enterprises continues as restricted areas, it will not be conducive to the development of commodity economy and the expansion of commodity circulation. The economic development of a country has entered a trend of internationalization, followed by the formation of a large market, large circulation, and a large foreign trade pattern. It fundamentally breaks through the traditional division of labor, and the old industrial structure and highly centralized management system are about to break down. It is an economic model that integrates workers and peasants, combines industry and trade, complements each other’s advantages, and integrates technology, industry and trade, grouping, and share-based comprehensive development.
