Since the beginning of full-scale economic reform and open-door policies in China, it has utilized external opening policies to promote economic growth and integrate itself into the global economic system. In recent years, China has been actively utilizing external opening policies as a means of accelerating domestic economic reform.
  Even after the official launch of the Xi government in 2013, China is emphasizing the promotion of its external opening policy through major documents released by the Communist Party and the central government. In particular, in relation to the promotion of free trade agreements (FTAs), China has declared the basic principle of 'establishing a high- level global FTA network' in its 'Decision on Some Major Issues Concerning Comprehensively Deepening the Reform.' In 2015, the State Council issued its 'Opinions on Speeding up the Implementation of Free Trade Zone Strategy,' thereby maintaining an active stance on the promotion of FTAs.
  Korea is an important partner in China’s external opening policy and overseas economic cooperation, and the Korea-China FTA is considered the most comprehensive and highest-level FTA signed by China. In addition, the Korea-China FTA is the first FTA signed by China which provides for economic cooperation. In particular, the inclusion of provisions on local economic cooperation (Article 17.25) and the establishment of a Korea-China/China-Korea industrial complex (Article 17.26) enhances the possibility of expanding cooperation with local governments.
  While FTAs are international agreements between countries, their implementation is largely overseen by local governments. Therefore, if Korea can cooperate with local governments in China to promote bilateral pilot projects that meet the economic conditions of the region, this would boost intergovernmental cooperation between the two nations. China is already pursuing pilot policies where local governments lead efforts to expand economic cooperation with signatory countries of FTAs that have been concluded. In other words, regions such as QinZhou, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China-ASEAN FTA), QianHai, Guangdong Province (China-Hong Kong CEPA), Pingtan, Fujian Province (China-Taiwan ECFA), among others, are implementing pilot policies for expanding economic cooperation with local governments and other countries based on FTAs that have been concluded. In particular, in the case of the QinZhou industrial complex and the QianHai cooperation zone, a top-level consultative body led by the central government has been formed for the smooth construction of the joint industrial complex, and the sub-committees that lead the actual development of the joint industrial complex have been organized with systematic cooperation already taking place. In addition, in establishing enterprises to promote joint development, China is having its local governments take a leading role in the joint development zones, while another characteristic of these projects is that state-owned enterprises under the local government are put in charge of most of the development. However, the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Area differs in that it has no formal cooperation channels between the two governments, and thus cooperation projects with Taiwan have not realized any significant success.
  Korea may consider selecting Shandong as the priority area for cooperation when seeking ways to expand economic cooperation with local governments through utilization of the Korea-China FTA. Shandong Province is an area with abundant experience in economic exchanges and cooperation with Korea, and currently has various types of pilot policies for economic cooperation, including the Korea-China industrial complexes in Yantai. In particular, Shandong Province has been actively promoting the construction of Korea-China industrial complexes and a demonstration zone for Korea-China local economic cooperation in order to carry out system reform in various fields such as trade, investment service and industrial cooperation. Based on these experiences, the Shandong provincial government is striving to establish the Shandong Province Free Trade Zone. In addition, Shandong plans to promote economic growth through aggressive foreign opening measures and diversified international cooperation during the period of the 13th Five-Year Plan. Shandong intends to strengthen economic cooperation between Korea and Shandong by utilizing the Korea-China FTA, and to promote reform, industrial advancement and international competitiveness.
  Considering that Shandong province is the most active in economic cooperation with Korea and has already been conducting economic cooperation with Korea for a long time, Korea should formulate plans to utilize Shandong as a base area for expanding the performance of the Korea-China FTA, and further develop a successful cooperation model. This requires a transition to a cooperation paradigm that fits the new economic environment. Labor-intensive manufacturing and SME- oriented cooperation need to be rapidly shifted to high-tech industries, high-tech and service-oriented cooperation in accordance with the demand for cooperation and policy directions of Shandong Province. The trade and FDI of Shandong Province are mostly concentrated in low-tech industries, putting the region somewhat at odds with the policy direction of the Shandong provincial government, which is currently pursuing industrial advancement. On the other hand, the trade and investment between Korea and Shandong is centered on high-tech industries with a high level of technology, which is in line with the advanced industrial structure and export structure of Shandong Province. In recent years, the Shandong provincial government has been pursuing various cooperation pilot policies like the Korea-China industrial complexes and demonstration zone for Korea-China local economic cooperation. These policy changes are in line with Korea’s demand to promote its economic cooperation with China to a new level with the conclusion of the Korea-China FTA. In the future, Korea should use Shandong as a base and test bed for economic cooperation with China, and expand the cooperation achievements and models in Shandong Province to all regions of China.
