Yu Zeyuan: How can I talk about the next talk about economic and trade consultations?

Early Thistle Yan Chunqiu

Chinese President ... and US President Trump agreed to restart economic and trade consultations. The United States stated that it would no longer impose new tariffs on Chinese export products, and China agreed to continue to purchase American agricultural products.This means that the Sino -US economic and trade negotiations that are in a deadlock will be restarted.

Perhaps it was to prove that the Xi special meeting was very, very good. Trump announced at a press conference after the meeting that Sino -US relations would return to the right track and said that he allowed American companies to continue to sell products from Chinese telecommunications giants.This is of course good news for Huawei, which is suppressed by the United States.

However, international public opinion is not optimistic about the prospects of Sino -US negotiations. China's mainstream official media have no results of the Special Book Special Book Osaka Xi Step. Instead, it is believed that the key to the next thing is that the United States must say and do it.

The People's Daily made a comment on the signature Zhong Sheng yesterday that China and the United States made a decision to restart economic and trade consultations, indicating that they were willing to find a way to accept each other through dialogue and consultation to solve the problem.

Xinhua News Agency also published an article yesterday that if there is no specific actions of equality and mutual respect, they will still change their faces and ask for prices again and again, and there will be no results.To the critical moment, the more we must adhere to the bottom line of principles. Only by respecting each other's core concerns can the path of China -US cooperation be wider and wider.

International public opinion, including Chinese public opinion, is not optimistic about the prospects of Sino -US economic and trade negotiations. It has repeatedly negotiated between China -US economic and trade negotiations in the past year.The bottom line of reconciliation.

Since March last year, Sino -US trade friction has been upgraded.The two parties reached an agreement that did not fight the trade war in May last year, but the agreement was quickly invalidated, and the two parties officially started the trade war.In December last year, China and the United States first reached a consensus in Argentina. After 11 rounds of negotiations between the two teams, the two sides talked again in May this year when they were close to reaching an agreement.The United States decided to impose a 25%tariff on Chinese products of US $ 200 billion (about S $ 274 billion), and threatened a 25%tariff on more than 30 billion U.S. dollars in Chinese products; China also to about $ 60 billion in US productsIncrease tariffs.

At the Osaka Xi Special Conference, the two sides agreed to restart economic and trade consultations on the basis of equality and mutual respect.But the question is: China and the United States have different understanding of equality and mutual respect. The negotiation demands and bottom lines of both parties are also huge. How can the two sides talk together?

According to US statistics, in 2018, the United States' trade deficit with Chinese goods was as high as US $ 419.2 billion.The United States believes that the huge deficit of the United States' trade with China is inequality to the United States, and the Chinese government intervenes the market by funding state -owned enterprises and other means, which has exacerbated trade inequality.By improving tariffs, the United States must not only change the trade deficit with China, but also force China to carry out structural reforms, that is, abandoning non -market behaviors such as state -owned enterprises.

Specifically, the United States requires China to purchase a large number of American agriculture and energy products in the negotiations, but it still has limited to China on the export of high -tech products; China is required to legislate on issues such as intellectual property protection and structural reforms and accept the United States verificationwait.And during the negotiations, the United States did not give up existing tariffs on Chinese products, and included more than 40 Chinese companies including Huawei in the entity list for sanctions.

China requires all the United States to cancel the high tariffs on Chinese products, so that bilateral trade will be restored to normal; the number of Chinese trade procurement for the United States should be reached in accordance with the consensus reached by the Argentine Special Council, and it cannot be changed at will; the agreement of the agreement must be balanced.The expression method must be accepted by the people in the country, and does not harm national sovereignty and dignity.

The reason why China believes that the text of the United States has damaged national sovereignty and dignity, maybe because the structural reform required by the United States not only involves the relationship between the Chinese government and state -owned enterprises, but also the content of the United States to verify the operation of relevant Chinese enterprises in China.Therefore, the third item may be the most important among China's above three core concerns.

Although the US trade representative Leitchizawa and others are reluctant to loose the China Eagle School on issues such as structural reforms, from the multiple statements of Trump, he rarely mentioned structural reforms. This time, he agreed not to increaseThe new tariffs on China restarted the Sino -US economic and trade negotiations, and also allowed American companies to sell products to Huawei. In exchange for China to re -promise to buy American products, showing that he cares more about China ’s purchase of American products, especially whether he can re -elected as his re -election.Agricultural products.

From a larger range, the Sino -US trade war and scientific and technological warfare are actually part of the wrestling of the great power and the wrestling of the great power.This wrestling is destined to be long -term, complicated, and sharp. Even if the two sides solve the urgent need for a while, other problems and troubles will follow.

But on the other hand, today, when the global economic integration industry has formed, China and the United States have long become the symbiosis relationship between me and me in me, and no one can bear the consequences of discomfort.In other words, even if the demands between the two parties in the negotiations are different from the bottom line, the two sides must talk about it, and eventually talk about a result that both parties may not be satisfied but have to accept.
