China accuses Trump of 'blackmail' after new tariffs threat

中国指责特朗普在新关税威胁后进行“敲诈”

Ryan MCMORROW,AFP•June 19, 2018



US President Donald Trump has unveiled plans to impose tariffs on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, on top of an already announced $50 billion tranche

在已经宣布了对500亿美元的商品征收关税后，美国总统唐纳德•特朗普宣布计划对价值2000亿美元的中国商品加征关税。



中美商品贸易条状图。中美贸易2017年达到最高值。中国从美国进口163亿美元的波音客机和航空装备，124亿美元的大豆以及105亿美元的新旧汽车。美国从中国进口704亿美元的智能手机，进口268亿美元的玩具和游戏以及241亿美元的服装。



So far Beijing has targeted major American exports to China such as soybeans, which brought in $14 billion in sales last year

目前，北京已经瞄准了美国对中国出口的主要目标，去年出口的140亿美元的大豆。

Beijing on Tuesday accused Donald Trump of "blackmail" and warned it would retaliate in kind after the US president threatened to impose fresh tariffs on Chinese goods, pushing the world's two biggest economies closer to a trade war.

中国政府周二指责唐纳德•特朗普“敲诈”，并警告称，在美国总统威胁要对中国商品征收新的关税后，中国将以同样的方式进行报复，这将进一步推动全球最大的两个经济体爆发一场贸易战。

Trump said on Monday he had asked the US Trade Representative to target $200 billion worth of imports for a 10 percent levy, citing China's "unacceptable" move to raise its own tariffs.He added he would identify an extra $200 billion of goods -- for a possible total of $450 billion, or most Chinese imports -- "if China increases its tariffs yet again"."Further action must be taken to encourage China to change its unfair practices, open its market to United States goods and accept a more balanced trade relationship with the United States," Trump said in a statement.

特朗普周一表示，他已要求美国贸易代表针对价值2000亿美元的进口产品征收10%的关税，理由是中国提高自身关税的举动是“不可接受的”。他还表示，“如果中国再次提高关税”，他将再确定价值2,000亿美元的商品，总价值可能达到4500亿美元，即大部分中国进口商品。特朗普在一份声明中说:“必须采取进一步行动，鼓励中国改变不公平的做法，向美国开放市场，接受与美国更平衡的贸易关系。”

Last week, he announced 25 percent tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese imports, prompting Beijing to retaliate with matching duties on US goods.

上周，他宣布对中国500亿美元的进口产品征收25%的关税，促使北京方面对美国商品征收相应的关税。

The US leader warned Friday of "additional tariffs" should Beijing hit back with tit-for-tat measures."The trade relationship between the United States and China must be much more equitable," he said in explaining his latest decision."I have an excellent relationship with President Xi (Jinping), and we will continue working together on many issues. But the United States will no longer be taken advantage of on trade by China and other countries in the world."

特朗普上周五警告称，如果北京方面采取针锋相对的措施予以回击，美国将征收“额外关税”。他在解释自己的最新决定时表示：“美国和中国之间的贸易关系必须更加公平，我与中国主席的关系非常好，我们将在许多问题上继续合作。但美国在贸易上将不再被中国和世界其他国家利用。

China's commerce ministry immediately responded by saying the US "practice of extreme pressure and blackmail departed from the consensus reached by both sides during multiple negotiations and has also greatly disappointed international society"."If the US acts irrationally and issues a list, China will have no choice but to take comprehensive measures of a corresponding number and quality and take strong, powerful countermeasures."The news hit stock markets in Asia, where Shanghai shed three percent in the morning, Hong Kong lost more than two percent and Tokyo was one percent lower.

中国商务部立即回应称，美国的“极端施压措施和勒索行为，背离了双方在多次谈判中达成的共识，也极大地打击了国际社会”。“如果美国采取非理性的行动，发布关税清单，中国将别无选择，只能采取相应数量和质量的综合措施，并采取强有力的对策。”这一消息冲击了亚洲股市，上海股市上午下跌3%，香港股市下跌超过2%，东京股市下跌1%。

Trump is moving forward with the measures after months of sometimes fraught shuttle diplomacy in which Chinese offers to purchase more American goods failed to assuage his grievances over a widening trade imbalance and China's aggressive industrial development policies.China had offered to ramp up purchases of American goods by $70 billion to help cut its yawning trade surplus with the United States, whereas Trump had demanded a $200 billion deficit cut.

在进行了几个月的艰难的穿梭外交，中国提出购买更多美国商品后，但这未能缓解特朗普对日益扩大的贸易失衡和中国咄咄逼人的工业发展政策的不满，他正在进一步推进关税措施。中国曾提出将美国商品的购买量增加700亿美元，以帮助减少其对美国巨大的贸易顺差，而特朗普则要求削减2000亿美元的赤字。

The China trade offensive is only one side of Trump's multi-front battle with the United States' economic partners as he presses ahead with his protectionist "America First" agenda.Since June 1, steel and aluminium imports from the European Union, Canada and Mexico have been hit with tariffs of 25 percent and 10 percent, respectively."This latest action by China clearly indicates its determination to keep the United States at a permanent and unfair disadvantage, which is reflected in our massive $376 billion trade imbalance in goods," Trump said of China's retaliatory tariffs.
"This is unacceptable."

中国的贸易攻势只是特朗普与美国经济伙伴之间的多战线斗争的一个战场，因为他推进了他的保护主义“美国优先”议程。自6月1日以来，从欧盟、加拿大和墨西哥进口的钢铁和铝分别受到25%和10%的关税打击。特朗普在谈到中国的报复性关税时表示:“中国的最新行动明确表明，它决心让美国永远处于不公平的不利地位，这反映在我们3,760亿美元的商品贸易不平衡上。”
“这是不可接受的。”

Two decades ago, China's economy was largely fuelled by exports, but it has made progress in rebalancing towards domestic investment and consumption since the global financial crisis erupted last decade -- limiting the damage trade tariffs could inflict on Beijing.Still, strong exports this year have lifted the economy, which is now showing signs of losing steam under the weight of Beijing's war on debt, launched to clean up financial risks and rein in borrowing-fuelled growth.

20年前，中国经济增长在很大程度上由出口的推动，但自全球金融危机爆发以来，中国在实现国内投资和消费再平衡方面取得了进展，这限制了贸易关税可能对中国造成的损害。尽管如此，今年强劲的出口还是提振了中国经济。中国政府在债务战争、开始清理金融风险以及严控信贷增长的重压下，中国经济目前正显示出失去动力的迹象。

Initially, 545 US products valued at $34 billion will be targeted by China, mimicking the Trump administration's tariff rollout.Beijing wants to "demonstrate that things will be done their way or not at all," said Christopher Balding, an economics professor at Shenzhen's HSBC Business School, who believes Chinese policymakers prefer demonstrations of "power and control" over "technical policy rightness.""It is a game of chicken," Balding said.

初期，545种价值340亿美元的美国产品将成为中国的目标，类似于特朗普政府推出的关税。深圳汇丰商学院经济学教授克里斯托弗•鲍尔丁表示，中国政府希望“证明事情将按自己的方式来做，或者根本不做”。鲍尔丁说:“这是一场胆小鬼的游戏。”

So far Beijing has targeted major American exports to China such as soybeans, which brought in $14 billion in sales last year, and are grown in states that supported Trump during the 2016 presidential election, as well as other politically important products.Officials also drew up a second list of $16 billion in chemical and energy products to hit with new tariffs, though China did not announce a date for imposing them.More American targets are likely to follow as soon as the Trump administration follows through with publishing an expanded tariff list.

到目前为止，中国政府一直在瞄准美国对中国的主要出口产品，比如大豆。大豆去年带来了140亿美元的销售额。官员们还拟定了第二份160亿美元的化学和能源产品清单，以应对新的关税，不过中国没有宣布征收关税的日期。特朗普政府一旦公布扩大后的关税清单，可能会有更多的美国目标紧随其后。

what?? do you know how duties work? duties work by taxing imports from China (made by chinese companies, for the most part). The US companies that import these goods then have a choice. Either they keep their selling price the same, and see their profit margin get wiped out, or they pass along the cost to the consumer or end user, in the form of higher prices. For consumer goods, expect the latter to occur...so, basically, you, Mr. "US Made" will be spending more money to buy the same stuff you buy today. And interestingly, a 10% duty will not be nearly enough to overcome the cost differential of producing in the US versus producing overseas, so don't expect new American factories to spring up magically because of this. This is just grandstanding and threats and politics.

什么? ?你知道关税是怎样运作的吗?关税的工作方式是对从中国进口的产品(大部分是中国公司生产的)征税。进口这些商品的美国公司可以进行选择。他们要么保持他们的销售价格不变，看到他们的利润被抹掉，要么他们把成本转嫁给消费者或最终用户，以更高的价格卖给消费者。对于消费品，预计后者会发生……

所以,基本上,你,“美国制造”先生，将会花更多的钱买你今天买的东西。有趣的是，10%的关税不足以克服在美国生产和在海外生产的成本差异，所以不要指望美国的新工厂会因为这个奇迹般地涌现出来。这只是哗众取宠、威胁和政治。

You guys don’t understand Trump, he is a true globalist. Poorer countries will receive those factories moving out from China. And South America , Russia even Africa will get investment to grow bean for China. Good for the world and small country.

你们不了解特朗普，他是真正的全球化主义者。较贫穷国家将接收那些从中国迁出的工厂。南美、俄罗斯甚至非洲都将得到投资，为中国种植大豆。这对世界和小国都有好处。

Only if it is imported to us. We have 300 million people while they have over a billion. Their middle class is larger than our entire population. If you had to choose between selling your products in China or the US which would you choose? I can sell maybe 400 million items in China versus 200 million in America. From the suppliers point of view it is simple. From the buyers point of view, the middle and lower classes pay for for nearly anything they want or need.

除非商品是进口到美国。我们有3亿人，而他们有超过10亿。他们的中产阶级比我们所有的人口都多。如果你必须在中国和美国做出销售你的产品的选择，你会选择哪一个?我可以在中国卖出4亿件商品，而在美国可以卖2亿。从供应商的角度来看，这很简单。从买家的角度来看，中产阶级和下层阶级几乎为他们想要或需要的任何东西付钱。

You are right to some extent but our economy is a free economy. Our economy is the best because we buy the cheapest from the world. If we start doing as the ,3rd world countries do then our economy will be economy of 3rd world countries. Trump is trying to make America a 3rd world country.

China didn't "steal" anything. It was Corporate America'' decision a long time ago to move factories and jobs to China for the cheap labor and lax regulations. They knew what they were getting into, and they did it anyway for higher profit, at the expense of the American worker. Now they're complaining about "technology theft" and people eat it up. When you hire local people to do the work, of course they will be knowledge transfer. Put the blame where it belongs, to Corporate America.

中国没有“偷走”任何东西。这是美国企业很早以前就做出的决定，为了廉价的劳动力和宽松的监管将工厂和工作岗位转移到中国。他们知道自己要做什么，为了更高的利润，不惜牺牲美国工人的利益。现在他们在抱怨“技术盗窃”，人们把它吃了个精光。当你雇用当地人来做这项工作时，他们当然会是知识转移。谁应该负责任，当然是美国企业自己。

Why can’t we afford that? Trade deficits are a good thing when you are trying to be a service economy. It just means we have lots of people working in the service sector buying Chinese goods. I don’t understand why all these dumb people are so scared of us using our wealth to buy stuff. We like stuff. The way to lower the trade deficit would be to move people from the service sector to manufacturing where they are much less productive. Why does anybody think that’s a good idea?
In the end, Trump has no clue what a trade deficit means and he is handing off that ignorance to his acolytes.

为什么我们负担不起呢?当你试图成为一个服务型经济时，贸易赤字是一件好事。这只是意味着我们很多在服务业工作的人在购买中国商品。我不明白为什么这些笨蛋都害怕我们用我们的财富买东西。买我们喜欢的东西。降低贸易赤字的方法将是把人们从服务业转移到生产率低得多的制造业。为什么有人认为这是个好主意?最终，特朗普不知道贸易逆差意味着什么，他正在把这种无知传授给他的追随者。

In 2017, China sold $506 billions in stuff and services to the United States. In contrast, the United States sold $130 billions of stuff and services to China. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the trade imbalance includes both physical products and services, rather than just physical products.

2017年，中国向美国出售了5060亿美元的商品和服务。相比之下，美国向中国出售了1300亿美元的商品和服务。如果我错了，请纠正我，但我认为贸易失衡不仅包括实物产品，包括服务。
