The 13th round of the 13th round of the high -level economic and trade negotiations of China and the United States has ended with the first phase of the agreement between the two parties. The United States announced that the original plan to further increase tariffs will be increased by the next Tuesday (15th).Say a stabilizer for the trading war that has been turned straight to the past month.
However, Chinese and American public opinion generally holds cautiously about this narrow oral agreement.Scholars analyze that the agreement process will be difficult first and then, but the phased agreement will at least avoid the continued upgrade of the trade war, and it will also prevent the recent deteriorating Sino -US relations out of control.
Comprehensive Reuters and Bloomberg reported that US President Trump Washington time yesterday afternoon (Beijing time early morning) met with Chinese vice premier Liu He at the White House Ellipation Office.The first phase of the agreement: China will buy agricultural products worth $ 50 billion (about S $ 68.6 billion) from the United States each year, and agree to adopt some intellectual property protection measures, and make concessions to make financial services and monetary policies; the United States will postpone the original.In the next Tuesday (15th), we will increase US $ 250 billion in Chinese commodity tariffs from 25 % to 30 %.
However, the specific details and texts of this agreement are not finalized, and the process takes five weeks.Trump said he and the Chinese President ... may sign the agreement at the Asia -Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Chile in the middle of next month.
Although the details of the agreement have not been determined, Trump is very satisfied with the progress of the negotiations and claims that nothing is more important than we do with China now.He further shows to China: There are many frictions in the United States and China before, but now like a lovefest, this is a good thing.
However, the qualitative qualitative of the Chinese official media is more cautious.The official news agency Xinhua News Agency issued a draft this morning to describe that China and the United States conducted frank, efficient and constructive discussions on economic and trade issues that were concerned about. The two sides discussed the follow -up consultation arrangements and agreed to work hard to jointly reach an agreement.
The draft mentioned that Liu He conveyed ... to Trump's letters.... In the letters, the Sino -US economic and trade consultation team has recently maintained communication, released goodwill, and was welcomed by the peoples of the two countries and the international community.
... It emphasizes that maintaining the healthy and stable development of Sino -US relations is beneficial to both countries and the world. China and the United States must adhere to the tone of coordination, cooperation, and stability, control differences on the basis of mutual respect, expand cooperation on the basis of mutual benefit and mutual benefit, promote cooperation, promote the promotionUS relations develop along the correct track.
Cheng Xiaohe, an associate professor of the International Political Department of the School of International Relations of Renmin University of China, was analyzed during an interview with Lianhe Morning Post that China and the United States did not reach a comprehensive or forever agreement this time, but the negotiation process will be easy first and difficult.If you ca n’t achieve it, you will talk about it. This is the principle of prominent in the negotiation.
He believes that from the perspective of China, the significance of a phased agreement is to boost confidence in Sino -US relations and China's economic situation. Do not make people not see hope or discouraged; but at the same time, it also avoids blind optimism.
The comments issued by the People's Daily of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China this morning reminded: cancel all the additional tariffs, allow the trade war to truly stop, and work hard to achieve trade balance in constructive actions.Essence
Compared with Trump's positive optimism, the American public opinion community has reserved a phased agreement.Bloomberg quoted SCOTT Kennedy, an expert at the China issue of Washington Think Tank Strategy and International Research Center, said that the United States seemed to be looking for a reason to avoid increasing tariffs and appease the financial market in the future, so he was willing to accept a narrow verbal agreement.He is further described by Twitter that this is an invisible agreement without specific details or text.
Public opinion also noticed that several major core issues that have troubled China -US trade negotiations for a long time, including the United States required China to conduct structural reforms, stop industrial subsidies, and formulate agreement implementation and supervision mechanisms.Essence
Chinese scholar Cheng Xiaohe believes that Sino -US relations have come to key nodes, and Sino -US leaders have realized this; this time -reaching phase agreement means that the trade war is not over, but it is not upgraded, but this is at least helpfulSino -US relations that have been continuously deteriorated recently to avoid getting out of control.
