值此中美贸易摩擦剑拔弩张之际,中国于本周三任命了一位新的首席国际贸易谈判代表,此举无疑为这场旷日持久的博弈增添了新的变数。

官方消息称,李成钢已获委任,接替曾深度介入中美两国2020年贸易协定谈判的王守文的职位。

自美国对数十个经济体构筑起贸易壁垒以来,全球两大经济体间的贸易龃龉便不断加剧,互征关税的力度亦持续升级。目前,中国输美商品正面临高达145%的惩罚性关税,而其他多数国家则在关税措施上获得了为期90天的暂缓执行期。

周三盘初,中国官方公布一季度经济同比扩张5.4%,强劲出口构成主要支撑。然而,随着对华输美关税壁垒全面生效,分析界普遍预测,全球第二大经济体未来数月增长势头恐将显著承压。

出口作为驱动中国2024年经济增长达到官方预设的约5%目标的引擎,其战略地位不容小觑。

与此同时,北京方面以对美国出口商品施加高达125%的报复性关税予以回应,同时重申其维系国内市场对贸易与投资开放的决心。

中华人民共和国国家统计局发言人盛来运向记者阐述道,在短期内,关税无疑将对中国的经济构成一定的压力,然而,这并不会对国家的长期增长轨迹造成根本性的扰动。

鉴于中国官员在更迭谈判代表之际宣称中国具备多元方略应对美国举措,诸如倚仗十四亿人口所构建的庞大国内市场,抑或深化与欧盟及全球南方国家之经贸联系,此番人事变动之缘由虽未廓清,然则,鉴于中国国内消费需求持续疲靡,其恐难有效弥合美国消费者所代表之市场空白。

中国亦进一步收紧对稀土的出口管制,此等战略性资源广泛应用于尖端科技产品、航空航天产业以及国防领域等关键部门。

履新之前,李成刚曾擘划中国驻世界贸易组织大使馆,其间约四年半载,于该驾驭全球贸易之机杼中,北京就其与美国之关税龃龉向该机构溯讼。

彼曾任中国常驻联合国日内瓦办事处暨瑞士其他国际组织代表团副常任代表。

他曾先后在商务部担任要职,包括助理部长以及该部条约法律司司长等,其职业生涯可谓履历斐然。

李成刚系出名门,于北京大学法学院荣膺法学学士桂冠,并于汉堡大学深造,斩获经济法硕士殊荣。
