В Китае существует система основных законов, положений и политик в отношении географических указаний (ГУ) сельскохозяйственной продукции. Кроме того, Китай в определенной степени добился международной защиты ГУ сельскохозяйственной продукции посредством подписания торговых договоров, соглашений о специализированных географических указаниях и сотрудничества с отраслевыми ассоциациями. Тем не менее международное развитие географических указаний сельскохозяйственной продукции в Китае сталкивается с рядом проблем, к которым относятся: 1) нечеткие обязанности по управлению географическими указаниями; 2) недостаточная разработанность нормативной правовой базы, положений и политик в этой области; 3) отсутствие единообразия географических указаний сельскохозяйственной продукции; 4) проблемы с продвижением ГУ на рынке. Европейский союз (ЕС), имея развитую экономику и комплексную международную защиту географических указаний сельскохозяйственной продукции, осуществляет эффективный мониторинг рынка, а также имеет отлаженный механизм регулирования данной отрасли. ЕС активно содействует международному взаимному признанию географических указаний, а также направляет свою собственную сельскохозяйственную продукцию на мировой рынок. Для Китая было бы полезно и дальше создавать соответствующие департаменты управления, координировать использование географических указаний для первичной и переработанной сельскохозяйственной продукции и повышать уровень интернационализации своих географических указаний, тем самым способствуя международному развитию сельскохозяйственной продукции Китая.

China has initially established a system of basic laws, regulations, and policies on geographical indications (GIs) of agricultural products. Furthermore, it has achieved international protection of GIs of agricultural products to a certain extent through the signing of trade treaties, agreements on specialized GIs, and cooperation with industry associations. Nevertheless, the international development of geographical indications of agricultural products in China is facing a number of challenges, namely, unclear management responsibilities, lagging laws, regulations and policies, a large number of GIs of agricultural products that are of variable quality, a weak sense of international branding and insuf ficient market promotion. The European Union, as a developed economy with comprehensive international protection of geographical indications of agricultural products, has advanced legislation and regulations, as well as an ef fective market supervision and industry self-regulation mechanism. It actively promotes international mutual recognition of geographical indications, thereby enhancing the global visibility of these indications and establishing a robust protection framework. Additionally, the EU guides its own agricultural products to the global market.To promote the global success of its agriculture sector, China should take specific steps to: 1) integrate the relevant management departments; 2) coordinate GIs applications for both primary and processed agricultural products; and 3) to enhance international recognition of its agricultural products bearing GIs.
