At the telephone briefing held by the US on June 5438+02, US government officials such as the White House Trade and Manufacturing Policy Office, the White House Council of International Economic Advisers, and the Office of the US Trade Policy Representative announced the above news.
Chad Brown, a senior researcher at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, believes that Trump's "30 1" investigation on China and the use of an outdated US trade law clause will be costly and will only worsen the US-China trade situation. The outside world has long complained that since Trump took office, a series of measures have undermined the rules-based trade commitments and decades of efforts to establish international cooperation, and the launch of the "30 1" investigation has provided more "fuel". If the Trump administration wants to solve its trade dissatisfaction with China, it should push for a new and enforceable long-term trade agreement with China.
"Clause 30 1" is the abbreviation of Clause 30 1 of American Trade Law 1974, which requires the President of the United States to "impose unfair and unreasonable tariffs or other import restrictions, implement unfair, unreasonable and discriminatory regulations, policies or practices, and increase the burden on American commerce or restrict American commerce" and should be adopted. According to Article 30 1, the US Trade Representative first seeks to negotiate with foreign governments in the form of trade compensation or elimination of trade barriers. If the negotiation fails to solve the problem, the United States can take trade remedy measures, such as imposing additional tariffs, fees and restrictions on imported products.
Sino-US economic and trade relations are the ballast stone and propeller of Sino-US bilateral relations, which are mutually beneficial and win-win.
