摘要：This paper focuses on the negative list management model of cross-border service trade in free trade pilot zones. It commences with an introduction to the background and significance of free trade pilot zones and the importance of crossborder service trade, as well as the role of the negative list management model. Subsequently, it delves into the theoretical basis, comparing it with the positive list management model and exploring relevant international trade theories. Through international comparison, it analyzes the negative list management models in developed countries such as the United States, the European Union, and Singapore, and emerging economies like South Korea and India, summarizing similarities and differences and drawing on experiences and lessons. Regarding China’s free trade pilot zones, it examines the current situation and existing
problems in policy framework and implementation, including list refinement, regulatory coordination, and service trade facilitation. Finally, it proposes optimization strategies such as improving the negative list system, strengthening regulatory coordination and innovation, and promoting service trade facilitation and international cooperation. This research aims to provide theoretical and practical references for the development and innovation of cross-border service trade in free trade pilot zones.
