🇹🇼 中文

美國和中國的代表表示,他們已經同意了一個方法,讓貿易談判可以繼續進行,儘管之前談判遇到了一些可能導致中斷的問題。

這份聲明在星期二深夜發布,那時在英國首都的兩天會議剛結束。

這次會議主要討論如何解決礦產和技術出口的爭議,這些爭議影響了上個月在日內瓦達成的貿易協議。不過,目前還不清楚他們在中國對美國的貿易順差這個更大的問題上,有沒有任何進展。

美國商務部長霍華德·拉特尼克在會談後對記者說:「我們應該先放下不好的情緒,現在可以往前走了。」

亞洲股市在協議宣布後,星期三的股價上漲了。

這次會談是在上週美國總統川普和中國領導人習近平通電話,讓情況穩定下來之後才舉行的。

中國商務部副部長李承剛說,根據中國官方新華社的報導,雙方已經同意一個計畫,會執行他們在電話和日內瓦會議中達成的協議。

關於下一輪談判的計畫,目前還沒有新的消息。

李承剛和中國商務部長王文濤都是副總理何立峰帶領的代表團成員。他們在蘭開斯特公館見了拉特尼克、財政部長斯科特·貝森特和貿易代表傑米森·格里爾。蘭開斯特公館是白金漢宮附近一棟有兩百年歷史的建築。

前美國貿易代表溫蒂·卡特勒說,解決這些爭議的九十天期限,已經過去了三十天。

他們在日內瓦達成協議,決定暫停90天對彼此加徵的大部分關稅。這些關稅是在貿易戰中互相徵收的,稅率超過100%,讓大家擔心經濟會變差。因為貿易壁壘增加,世界銀行在週二降低了今年美國和全球經濟增長的預測。

卡特勒說,美國和中國在重新討論舊協議時,浪費了寶貴的時間。現在只剩下60天可以解決一些重要問題,例如貿易不公平、生產過多商品、貨物轉運和芬太尼問題。

自從日內瓦會談以來,美國和中國在一些重要議題上意見不合,例如發展人工智慧的先進晶片、中國學生申請美國大學的簽證,以及對汽車製造商和其他產業很重要的稀土礦物。

中國是全球最大的稀土生產國,它表示可能會更快地發放稀土出口許可證。同時,中國希望美國可以取消對中國取得製造先進半導體技術的限制。

拉特尼克說,解決稀土問題是這份協議很重要的一部分。美國會取消之前對稀土採取的一些做法,但他沒有清楚說明是哪些做法。

他說:「當他們批准這些許可證後,我們的出口限制應該就會放鬆。」

卡特勒說,美國從來沒有就出口管制問題與其他國家談判。她認為中國在過去二十年來一直不滿意這些管制措施。

她說:「這樣一來,美國讓中國以後在談判時,可以要求討論出口管制。」

在華盛頓,一家聯邦上訴法院週二同意,政府可以繼續向中國和世界其他國家徵收關稅。這是因為政府正在對一項反對這些關稅的法院判決提出上訴。

川普之前說,他希望中國這個世界上最大的製造國,能讓更多美國商品進去。

川普在白宮說:「如果我們不跟中國合作,可能很多事都做不好。但我們還是希望跟中國合作。」
