US trade representative: tariffs on China are not punished

U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai talked about U.S. tariffs on China at a press conference on Sunday that tariffs on China were to create a fair competitive environment, rather than punishing China or sanctions.

According to Voice of the United States, Daiqi said that the United States did not use tariffs to punish China. The tariffs implemented by the United States in 2018 (to China) are actually re -balanced tariffs.The fair competitive environment is to overcome the unfairness that the United States has seen and the impact on the US economy.

Beijing is dissatisfied with the Trump administration's period of Trump administration.In the United States, including the Biden Government, there is also a call for the cancellation of certain tariffs, arguing that the tariffs levied are finally paid by American consumers.However, Daiqi has recently stated that before China chooses to make its economy more running like the United States and abide by the rules of the World Trade Organization, the United States will maintain existing tariffs on China.

In order to counter China's influence in the Indo -Pacific region, the Bayeng government launched the "Indo -Pacific Economic Framework" (IPEF) in May this year to strengthen its economic connection with the Indo -Pacific countries.

Daiqi currently attended a series of meetings in Cambodia. She and the Minister of Commerce Raymond in mid -September hosted the "Indo -Pacific Economic Framework" ministerial meeting in Los Angeles in mid -September.

When asked whether the Indo -Pacific economic framework was a tool that curbs China at a press conference, Daiqi did not answer directly, but emphasized the importance of the region.
