【新唐人北京时间2019年02月15日讯】周五,北京为期两天的美中贸易谈判结束。白宫当天发表声明,没有提到任何具体进展,只宣布下周在华盛顿继续谈判。习近平当天接见美方代表,再次暗示强硬立场。消息称,双方立场一直处于平行线上,很难出现交集。
白宫声明称,北京的谈判“取得了进展”,但没有有关“进展”的任何具体内容。随后,声明重申美方的贸易要求,包括美中贸易逆差,以及中共结构性改革,涉及强迫技术转让、知识产权、网络盗窃、农业、服务业、非关税壁垒以及汇率等问题。
声明称“还有许多工作要做”,双方同意在“3月1日将中国进口商品关税从10%往上提升的期限”前,继续磋商尚未完成的议题,包括下周在华盛顿继续展开高层谈判。
声明中特别强调了3月1日的最后期限,被认为在暗示美方无意延期。
北京高层谈判原定北京时间周四和周五进行两天,但周五中午谈判即告结束。随后北京领导人习近平接见了美方谈判代表。在对美方的大量溢美之词中间,习近平也表明美中合作“是有原则的”,被指暗示北京会继续坚守“不能改的坚决不改”的所谓“底线”。
港媒和外媒消息,中方无意进行实质的结构性改革,美中在大量议题上还处于僵局。双方立场好像两条平行线,很难出现交集。
附白宫周五声明中文全文(《美国之音》译文):
本星期,特朗普总统指示美国官员前往北京就美中贸易问题继续协商。美国方面由贸易代表莱特希泽以及财政部长姆努钦领导此次会谈,中方则由中国副总理刘鹤主谈。星期五双边代表与中国国家主席习近平会晤,此次谈判也包括两国间广泛的技术性交流。
尽管还有许多工作要做,这些详尽密集的讨论为双边取得了进展。美中两国将继续在3月1日将中国进口商品关税从10%往上提升的期限前,就一些尚未完成的议题继续协商。美中官员同意任何承诺都将记录在两国的谅解备忘录中。
谈判中,美方聚焦在结构问题上,包括强迫技术转让、知识产权、网络盗窃、农业、服务业、非关税壁垒以及汇率议题。美中两国也探讨了中国购买美国商品和服务,以降低美国与中国之间长期存在的巨额贸易逆差。
下星期,美中将继续在华盛顿展开正部级和副部级的谈判。美方期待这些后续谈判,希望能看到更多进展。
白宫周五声明英文全文:
This week, at the direction of President Donald J. Trump, officials from the United States traveled to Beijing to continue negotiations on the trade relationship between the United States and China. On the United States side, the talks were led by Ambassador Robert E. Lighthizer, the United States Trade Representative, and the Honorable Steven T. Mnuchin, the Secretary of the Treasury. On the Chinese side, the talks were led by Vice Premier Liu He. On Friday, both delegations had the opportunity to meet with President Xi Jinping regarding their discussions. The talks also featured extensive technical exchanges between the professional staffs of both countries.
These detailed and intensive discussions led to progress between the two parties. Much work remains, however. Both sides will continue working on all outstanding issues in advance of the March 1, 2019, deadline for an increase in the 10 percent tariff on certain imported Chinese goods. United States and Chinese officials have agreed that any commitments will be stated in a Memoranda of Understanding between the two countries.
During the talks, the United States delegation focused on structural issues, including forced technology transfer, intellectual property rights, cyber theft, agriculture, services, non-tariff barriers, and currency. The two sides also discussed China’s purchases of United States goods and services intended to reduce the United States’ large and persistent bilateral trade deficit with China.
Next week, discussions will continue in Washington at the ministerial and vice-ministerial levels. The United States looks forward to these further talks and hopes to see additional progress.
