前言

Foreword

中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，美国是世界上最大的发达国家。中美经贸关系既对两国意义重大，也对全球经济稳定和发展有着举足轻重的影响。

China is the world’s biggest developing country and the United States is the biggest developed country. Trade and economic relations between China and the US are of great significance for the two countries as well as for the stability and development of the world economy.

中美两国建交以来，双边经贸关系持续发展，利益交汇点不断增多，形成了紧密合作关系，不仅使两国共同获益，而且惠及全球。特别是进入新世纪以来，在经济全球化快速发展过程中，中美两国遵循双边协定和世界贸易组织等多边规则，拓展深化经贸合作，基于比较优势和市场选择形成了结构高度互补、利益深度交融的互利共赢关系。双方通过优势互补、互通有无，有力促进了各自经济发展和产业结构优化升级，同时提升了全球价值链效率与效益，降低了生产成本，丰富了商品种类，极大促进了两国企业和消费者利益。

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, bilateral trade and economic ties between China and the US have developed steadily. A close partnership has been forged under which interests of the two countries have become closer and wider. Both countries have benefited from this partnership, as has the rest of the world. Since the beginning of the new century in particular, alongside rapid progress in economic globalization, China and the US have observed bilateral treaties and multilateral rules such as the WTO rules, and economic and trade relations have grown deeper and wider. Based on their comparative strengths and the choices of the market, the two countries have built up a mutually beneficial relationship featuring structural synergy and convergence of interests. Close cooperation and economic complementarity between China and the US have boosted economic growth, industrial upgrading and structural optimization in both countries, and at the same time enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of global value chains, reduced production costs, offered greater product variety, and generated enormous benefit for businesses and consumers in both countries.

中美两国经济发展阶段、经济制度不同，存在经贸摩擦是正常的，关键是如何增进互信、促进合作、管控分歧。长期以来，两国政府本着平等、理性、相向而行的原则，先后建立了中美商贸联委会、战略经济对话、战略与经济对话、全面经济对话等沟通协调机制，双方为此付出了不懈努力，保障了中美经贸关系在近40年时间里克服各种障碍，不断向前发展，成为中美关系的压舱石和推进器。

China and the US are at different stages of development. They have different economic systems. Therefore some level of trade friction is only natural. The key however lies in how to enhance mutual trust, promote cooperation, and manage differences. In the spirit of equality, rationality, and moving to meet each other halfway, the two countries have set up a number of communication and coordination mechanisms such as the Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade, the Strategic and Economic Dialogue, and the Comprehensive Economic Dialogue. Each has made tremendous efforts to overcome all kinds of obstacles and move economic and trade relations forward, which has served as the ballast and propeller of the overall bilateral relationship.

2017年新一届美国政府上任以来，在“美国优先”的口号下，抛弃相互尊重、平等协商等国际交往基本准则，实行单边主义、保护主义和经济霸权主义，对许多国家和地区特别是中国作出一系列不实指责，利用不断加征关税等手段进行经济恫吓，试图采取极限施压方法将自身利益诉求强加于中国。

Since taking office in 2017, the new administration of the US government has trumpeted “America First”. It has abandoned the fundamental norms of mutual respect and equal consultation that guide international relations. Rather, it has brazenly preached unilateralism, protectionism and economic hegemony, making false accusations against many countries and regions - particularly China - intimidating other countries through economic measures such as imposing tariffs, and attempting to impose its own interests on China through extreme pressure.

面对这种局面，中国从维护两国共同利益和世界贸易秩序大局出发，坚持通过对话协商解决争议的基本原则，以最大的耐心和诚意回应美国关切，以求同存异的态度妥善处理分歧，克服各种困难，同美国开展多轮对话磋商，提出务实解决方案，为稳定双边经贸关系作出了艰苦努力。然而，美国出尔反尔、不断发难，导致中美经贸摩擦在短时间内持续升级，使两国政府和人民多年努力培养起来的中美经贸关系受到极大损害，也使多边贸易体制和自由贸易原则遭遇严重威胁。

China has responded from the perspective of the common interests of both parties as well as the world trade order. It is observing the principle of resolving disputes through dialogue and consultation, and answering the US concerns with the greatest level of patience and good faith. The Chinese side has been dealing with these differences with an attitude of seeking common ground while shelving divergence. It has overcome many difficulties and made enormous efforts to stabilize China-US economic and trade relations by holding rounds of discussions with the US side and proposing practical solutions. However the US side has been contradicting itself and constantly challenging China. As a result, trade and economic friction between the two sides has escalated quickly over a short period of time, causing serious damage to the economic and trade relations which have developed over the years through the collective work of the two governments and the two peoples, and posing a grave threat to the multilateral trading system and the principle of free trade.

为澄清中美经贸关系事实，阐明中国对中美经贸摩擦的政策立场，推动问题合理解决，中国政府特发布此白皮书。

In order to clarify the facts about China-US economic and trade relations, clarify China’s stance on trade friction with the US, and pursue reasonable solutions, the government of China is publishing this White Paper.

一、中美经贸合作互利共赢

I. Mutually-beneficial and win-win cooperation between China and the US in trade and economy

中美建交以来，双边经贸关系不断发展，贸易和投资等合作取得丰硕成果，实现了优势互补、互利共赢。中国从中受益匪浅，美国也从中获得了广泛、巨大的经济利益，分享了中国发展带来的机遇和成果。事实证明，良好的中美经贸关系对两国发展都具有重要意义，合则两利，斗则两伤。

Economic and trade relations have developed steadily since the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the US, with fruitful results achieved in trade and investment. China benefits remarkably from the strong synergy, while the US also reaps extensive economic benefits from the opportunities and results generated by China’s growth. It is self-evident that a sound China-US economic and trade relationship is very important for both countries. Cooperation serves the interests of the two sides and conflict can only hurt both.微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

（一）中美双方互为重要的货物贸易伙伴

1. China and the US are important partners for each other in trade in goods.

双边货物贸易快速增长。根据中国有关部门统计数据，2017年中美双边货物贸易额达5837亿美元，是1979年建交时的233倍，是2001年中国加入世界贸易组织时的7倍多。目前，美国是中国第一大货物出口市场和第六大进口来源地，2017年中国对美国出口、从美国进口分别占中国出口和进口的19%和8%；中国是美国增长最快的出口市场和第一大进口来源地，2017年美国对华出口占美国出口的8%。

Two-way trade in goods has grown rapidly. Chinese statistics show that trade in goods between China and the US in 2017 amounted to US$583.7 billion, a 233-fold increase from 1979 when the two countries forged diplomatic ties, as well as a seven-fold increase from 2001 when China joined the World Trade Organization. Currently, the US is China’s biggest export market and sixth biggest source of imports. In 2017, the US took 19% of China’s exports and provided 8% of China’s imports. China is the fastest growing export market for US goods and the biggest source of imports of the United States. In 2017, 8% of US exports went to China.

美国对华出口增速明显快于其对全球出口。中国加入世界贸易组织以来，美国对华出口快速增长，中国成为美国重要的出口市场。根据联合国统计，2017年美国对华货物出口1298.9亿美元，较2001年的191.8亿美元增长577%，远远高于同期美国对全球112%的出口增幅（图1）（注1）。

US exports to China are growing much faster than its global average. Since its accession to the WTO, China has become an important market for US exports, which have grown rapidly. UN statistics indicate that in 2017 US exports of goods to China amounted to US$129.89 billion, a 577% increase from US$19.18 billion in 2001, and far higher than the 112% average growth rate of overall US exports (Chart 1).

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

中国是美国飞机、农产品、汽车、集成电路的重要出口市场。中国是美国飞机和大豆的第一大出口市场，汽车、集成电路、棉花的第二大出口市场。2017年美国出口中57%的大豆、25%的波音飞机、20%的汽车、14%的集成电路、17%的棉花都销往中国。

China is an import market for US goods such as airplanes, agricultural produce, automobiles, and integrated circuits. China represents the No. 1 export market for US airplanes and soybeans, and the No. 2 export market for US automobiles, IC products and cotton. In 2017 China took 57% of US soybean exports, 25% of Boeing aircraft, 20% of automobiles, 14% of ICs and 17% of cotton.

中美双边贸易互补性强。美国居于全球价值链的中高端，对华出口多为资本品和中间品，中国居于中低端，对美出口多为消费品和最终产品，两国发挥各自比较优势，双边贸易呈互补关系。2017年中国向美国出口前三大类商品为电机电气设备及其零附件、机械器具及零件、家具寝具灯具等，合计占比为53.5%。中国从美国进口前三大类商品为电机电气设备及其零附件、机械器具及零件、车辆及其零附件，合计占比为31.8%。机电产品在中美双边贸易中占重要比重，产业内贸易特征较为明显（表1）。中国对美出口的“高技术产品”，大多只是在华完成劳动密集型加工环节，包含大量关键零部件和中间产品的进口与国际转移价值。

China-US bilateral trade has a strong complementarity. The US stands at the mid-and high-end in global value chains and it exports capital goods and intermediary goods to China. Remaining at the mid-and low-end in global value chains, China mainly exports consumer goods and finished products to the US. The two countries play to their comparative strengths and the two-way trade is highly complementary. In 2017, the top three categories of Chinese exports to the US were:

1. electric machines/electrical products/equipment and components,

2. mechanical apparatus and components, and

3. furniture/bedding/lamps,

which accounted for 53.5% of its total exports to the US. The top three categories of products that China imported from the US were：

1. machinery/electric equipment/ components and accessories,

2. mechanical apparatus and components, and

3. automobile and components and accessories,

which accounted for 31.8% of total import from the US. Machinery and electronic products take a lion’s share of two-way trade, and there is an evident characteristic of intra-industry trade. (Table 1) For most of the hi-tech products that China exports to the US, only labor-intensive processing takes place in China, involving large-scale import of key components and intermediary products as well as international transfer of value.

（二）中美双边服务贸易快速增长

2. Bilateral trade in services is developing quickly.

美国服务业高度发达，产业门类齐全，国际竞争力强。随着中国经济发展和人民生活水平提升，服务需求明显扩大，双方服务贸易快速增长。据美国方面统计，2007－2017年，中美服务贸易额由249.4亿美元扩大到750.5亿美元，增长了2倍。2017年，据中国商务部统计，美国是中国第二大服务贸易伙伴；据美国商务部统计，中国是美国第三大服务出口市场。

The US has a highly-advanced and fully-fledged service industry which is very competitive on the international market. Accompanying the growth of the Chinese economy and the improvement of Chinese people’s living standards is an obvious rise in demand for services and rapid growth in bilateral services trade. According to US statistics, two-way trade in services rose from US$24.94 billion in 2007 to US$75.05 billion in 2017. According to MOFCOM, the US was China’s second biggest services trade partner; according to USDOC, China is the third biggest market for US service exports.

美国是中国服务贸易最大逆差来源地，且逆差快速扩大。据美国方面统计，2007－2017年，美国对华服务出口额由131.4亿美元扩大到576.3亿美元，增长了3.4倍，而同期美国对世界其他国家和地区的服务出口额增长1.8倍，美国对华服务贸易年度顺差扩大30倍至402亿美元（图2）。目前，美国是中国服务贸易逆差最大来源国，占中国服务贸易逆差总额的20%左右。中国对美服务贸易逆差主要集中在旅行、运输和知识产权使用费三个领域。

The US is the biggest source of China’s deficit in services trade and this deficit has been increasing fast. US statistics show that US service exports to China grew 340% from US$13.14 billion in 2007 to US$57.63 billion in 2017 while its service exports to other countries and regions in the same period grew by 180%. The US surplus with China in services multiplied by a factor of 30 to US 40.2 billion. (Chart 2) At present, the US represents roughly 20% of China’s total deficit in services trade, the biggest source of this deficit. China’s deficit with the US is concentrated in three areas, travel, transport and intellectual property royalties.

中国对美旅行服务贸易逆差不断扩大。据美国商务部统计，截至2016年，中国内地到访美国的游客数量已连续13年增长，其中12年的增速都达到两位数。中国商务部统计显示，2017年中国游客赴美旅游、留学、就医等旅行支出合计达510亿美元，其中赴美游客约300万人次，在美旅游支出高达330亿美元。在教育方面，美国是中国学生出境留学第一大目的地，2017年中国在美留学生约42万人，为美国贡献约180亿美元收入。根据美国方面统计，中国对美国旅行服务贸易逆差从2006年的4.3亿美元扩大至2016年的262亿美元，年均增长50.8%。

China’s trade deficit with the US in tourism continues to widen. According to the DOC, by 2016 the number of Chinese mainland visitors to the US had been increasing for 13 consecutive years, with double-digit growth in 12 of the 13 years. MOFCOM statistics suggest that in 2017 Chinese visitors going to the US for tourism, education, and medical treatment spent a total of US$51 billion in the US. Among them, 3 million were tourists, who spent as much as US$33 billion while traveling in the US. In education, the US is the largest overseas destination for Chinese students. In 2017, there were around 420,000 Chinese students in the US, contributing some US$18 billion to local revenues. According to US figures, China’s trade deficit with the US in tourism grew from US$430 million in 2006 to US$26.2 billion in 2016, registering an average annual growth of 50.8%.

中国对美国支付知识产权使用费持续增加。据中国有关方面统计，美国是中国第一大版权引进来源国，2012－2016年，中国自美国引进版权近2.8万项。中国对美国支付的知识产权使用费从2011年的34.6亿美元增加至2017年的72亿美元，6年时间翻了一番（图3）。其中2017年中国对美支付占中国对外支付知识产权使用费总额的四分之一。

China’s payments for the use of US intellectual property continues to rise. Chinese statistics indicate that the US is the largest source of intellectual property imports to China. From 2012 to 2016, China imported nearly 28,000 items of intellectual property from the US. China’s payments for US intellectual property doubled in six years from US$3.46 billion in 2011 to US$7.2 billion in 2017. (Chart 3) In breakdown, China’s intellectual property payments to the US accounted for a quarter of its total intellectual property payments to foreign countries.

（三）中美互为重要的投资伙伴

3. China and the US are important investment partners.

美国是中国重要外资来源地。根据中国商务部统计，截至2017年，美国累计在华设立外商投资企业约6.8万家，实际投资超过830亿美元。中国企业对美国直接投资快速增长，美国成为中国重要的投资目的地。随着中国对外投资的发展，中国企业对美国直接投资从2003年的0.65亿美元增长至2016年的169.8亿美元。根据中国商务部统计，截至2017年，中国对美直接投资存量约670亿美元。与此同时，中国还对美国进行了大量金融投资。根据美国财政部统计，截至2018年5月底，中国持有美国国债1.18万亿美元。

The US is a major source of foreign investment for China. According to MOFCOM, by the end of 2017, there were approximately 68,000 US-funded enterprises in China with over US$83 billion in actualized investment. With a rapid increase in direct investment by Chinese enterprises in the US, the latter has become an important destination for Chinese investment. As China’s outbound investment grew, Chinese enterprises’ direct investment in the US rose from US$65 million in 2003 to US$16.98 billion in 2016. According to MOFCOM figures, by the end 2017, the stock of Chinese direct investment in the US amounted to approximately US$67 billion. Meanwhile, China has also made a significant financial investment in the US. According to the US Treasury Department, China held US$1.18 trillion of US treasury bills by the end of May 2018.

（四）中美双方均从经贸合作中明显获益

4. China and the US have both benefited markedly from trade and economic cooperation.

中美双方从经贸合作中获得巨大的经济利益，实现了互利共赢。

China and the US have both reaped enormous benefits and created win-win results from trade and economic cooperation.微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

中美经贸合作促进了中国经济发展和民生改善。在经济全球化背景下，中国与美国等国加强贸易和投资合作，相互开放市场，有利于中国企业融入全球产业链价值链，为中国经济增长带来了可观的外部市场。经过改革开放以来40年的发展，2017年中国货物贸易进出口总额4.1万亿美元，居世界首位；服务贸易进出口总额6956.8亿美元，居世界第二位；吸引外商投资1363亿美元，居世界第二位。美国在华企业在技术创新、市场管理、制度创新等方面对中国企业起到了示范作用，促进了市场竞争，提升了行业效率，带动了中国企业提高技术和管理水平。中国从美国进口大量机电产品和农产品，弥补了自身供给能力的不足，满足了各领域需求特别是高端需求，丰富了消费者选择。

China-US trade and economic cooperation has promoted economic development in China and improved economic wellbeing. Against the backdrop of economic globalization, strengthening trade and investment cooperation with other countries, including the US, and opening up markets to each other has helped Chinese enterprises integrate into the global industrial chain and value chain, and opened up a huge external market for Chinese economic growth. Thanks to economic development over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, in 2017 China became the world’s largest trader in goods, with US$4.1 trillion of total merchandise imports and exports. It became the second largest trader in services with US$695.68 billion worth of total services imports and exports. And it became the second largest recipient of FDI, with US$136 billion of inward foreign investment. American firms have played an exemplary role in China for their Chinese peers in terms of technological innovation, marketing management, and institutional innovation. They have promoted market competition, improved industry efficiency, and motivated Chinese firms to improve their technology and management. In importing a large number of mechanical and electrical products and agricultural products from the US, China has managed to make up for its own supply deficiencies, and satisfy the demand—especially high-end demand—in various sectors by offering consumers a diversity of choice.

与此同时，美国获得了跨境投资、进入中国市场等大量商业机会，对美国经济增长、消费者福利、经济结构升级都发挥了重要作用。

At the same time, the US has gained access to a wide range of business opportunities such as cross-border investment and entry into the China market, which have played a big part in driving economic growth, improving consumer welfare, and upgrading the economic structure in the US.

经贸合作促进了美国经济增长，降低了美国通胀水平。据美中贸易全国委员会和牛津研究院联合研究估算（注2），2015年美国自华进口提振了美国国内生产总值0.8个百分点；美国对华出口和中美双向投资为美国国内生产总值贡献了2160亿美元，提升美国经济增长率1.2个百分点；来自中国物美价廉的商品降低了美国消费者物价水平，如2015年降低其消费物价水平1－1.5个百分点。低通货膨胀环境为美国实施扩张性宏观经济政策提供了较大空间。

Trade and economic cooperation has supported US economic growth and lowered US inflation. A joint estimate by the US-China Business Council and Oxford Economics indicated that in 2015 imports from China drove up the US gross domestic product by 0.8 percentage points. Exports to China and two-way investment contributed US$216 billion to America’s GDP, pushing US economic growth rate up by 1.2 percentage points. Value-for-money products from China drove down prices for American consumers, and in 2015 for example, reduced the consumer price index by 1 to 1.5 percentage points. A low inflation environment has created much room for expansionary macroeconomic policies in the US.

为美国创造了大量就业机会。据美中贸易全国委员会估算，2015年美国对华出口和中美双向投资支持了美国国内260万个就业岗位（注3）。其中，中国对美投资遍布美国46个州，为美国国内创造就业岗位超过14万个，而且大部分为制造业岗位。

Trade and economic cooperation has created a large number of jobs in the US. According to a US-China Business Council estimate, in 2015, US exports to China and US-China two-way investment supported 2.6 million jobs in America. Specifically, Chinese investment covered 46 states of the US, generating for the US more than 140,000 jobs, most of which are in manufacturing.

给美国消费者带来了实实在在的好处。双边贸易丰富了消费者选择，降低了生活成本，提高了美国民众特别是中低收入群体实际购买力。美中贸易全国委员会研究显示，2015年，中美贸易平均每年为每个美国家庭节省850美元成本，相当于美国家庭收入的1.5%（注4）。

Trade and economic cooperation has brought real benefits to American consumers. Bilateral trade provides consumers with a broad range of choices, lowers their living costs, and raises the real purchasing power of the American people, especially the low- and middle-income cohort. According to the US-China Business Council, in 2015, trade with China saved every American family US$850 of expenditure each year, which is equivalent to 1.5% of the average household income in the US.

为美国企业创造了大量商机和利润。中国是一个巨大而快速增长的市场，中美经贸合作为美国企业提供了大量商业机会。从贸易来看，根据美中贸易全国委员会发布的《2017年度美各州对华出口报告》，2017年中国是美国46个州的前五大货物出口市场之一，2016年中国是美国所有50个州的前五大服务出口市场之一；2017年每个美国农民平均向中国出口农产品1万美元以上。从投资来看，根据中国商务部统计，2015年美国企业实现在华销售收入约5170亿美元，利润超过360亿美元；2016年销售收入约6068亿美元，利润超过390亿美元。美国三大汽车制造商2015年在华合资企业利润合计达74.4亿美元。2017年美系乘用车在华销量达到304万辆，占中国乘用车销售总量的12.3%（注5），仅通用汽车公司在华就有10家合资企业，在华产量占到其全球产量的40%（注6）。美国高通公司在华芯片销售和专利许可费收入占其总营收的57%，英特尔公司在中国（包括香港地区）营收占其总营收的23.6%（注7）。2017年财年，苹果公司大中华地区营收占其总营收的19.5%（注8）。截至2017年1月，13家美国银行在华设有分支机构，10家美资保险机构在华设有保险公司。高盛、运通、美国银行、美国大都会人寿等美国金融机构作为中国金融机构的战略投资者，均取得了不菲的投资收益。根据中国证监会统计，中国境内公司到境外首发上市和再融资，总筹资额的70%由美资投资银行担任主承销商或联席主承销商（注9）。美国律师事务所共设立驻华代表处约120家。

Trade and economic cooperation has created a large number of business opportunities and significant profits for American businesses. With China being a huge and rapidly growing market, trade and economic cooperation between China and the US has created huge business opportunities for American businesses. From the trade perspective, the US-China Business Council 2017 State Export Report found that in 2017, China was one of the top five export markets of goods for 46 states. In 2016 China was one of the top five export markets of services for all 50 states. On average every US farmer exported over US$10,000 of agricultural products to China in 2017. From the investment perspective, according to MOFCOM, in 2015 US firms in China realized approximately US$517 billion of sales revenue and over US$36 billion of profits; in 2016, their sales reached about US$606.8 billion and profits exceeded US$39 billion. For the top three US automakers, their joint ventures in China made a total profit of US$7.44 billion in 2017. In the same year, a total of 3.04 million American passenger vehicles were sold in China, accounting for 12.3% of all passenger vehicles sold in China . General Motors alone has ten joint ventures in China. Its output in China accounted for 40% of its global output. Qualcomm’s income from chip sales and patent royalties in China accounted for 57% of its total revenue. Intel’s revenues in China (including the Hong Kong region) accounted for 23.6% of its total revenue. In the FY 2017, revenues from Greater China accounted for 19.5% of the Apple Inc. total. By January 2017, 13 American banks had subsidiaries or branches and ten American insurance companies had insurance firms in China. Goldman Sachs, American Express, Bank of America, Metlife and other American financial institutions have reaped handsome returns from their strategic investment in Chinese financial institutions. According to China Securities Regulatory Commission, American investment banks were lead underwriters or co-lead underwriters for 70% of the funds raised by Chinese companies in their overseas IPOs and refinancing. US law firms have set up about 120 offices in China.微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

促进了美国产业升级。在与中国经贸合作中，美国跨国公司通过整合两国要素优势提升了其国际竞争力。苹果公司在美国设计研发手机，在中国组装生产，在全球市场销售。根据高盛公司2018年的研究报告，如苹果公司将生产与组装全部移到美国，其生产成本将提高37%（注10）。从技术合作领域看，美国企业在中国销售和投资，使这些企业能够享受中国在云计算和人工智能等方面的应用成果，使其产品更好适应不断变化的全球市场（注11）。中国承接了美国企业的生产环节，使得美国能够将更多资金等要素资源投入创新和管理环节，集中力量发展高端制造业和现代服务业，带动产业向更高附加值、高技术含量领域升级，降低了美国国内能源资源消耗和环境保护的压力，提升了国家整体竞争力。

Trade and economic cooperation has promoted industrial upgrading. In their trade and economic cooperation with China, US multinational companies have sharpened their international competitiveness by combining competitive factors of production in the two countries. For example, iPhones are designed in the US, manufactured and assembled in China, and sold in the world. According to a Goldman Sachs report in 2018, should Apple Inc. relocate all its production and assembly to the US, its product cost would increase by 37%. In technological cooperation, US companies which have sales and investment in China enjoy the benefits of cloud computing and artificial intelligence applied in China, so that American products can better adapt to the changing global market. By manufacturing for US companies, China has enabled the US to invest more money and resources in innovation and management, focus on high-end manufacturing and modern services, and upgrade its industry with more added-value and high technology. This has also helped the US in conserving energy and resources and mitigating pressure in environmental protection at home, making the US more competitive in the world.

总体来看，中美经贸合作是一种双赢关系，绝非零和博弈，美国企业和国民从中得到了实实在在的好处，美国一部分人宣称的“美国吃亏论”是站不住脚的。

In general, China-US trade and economic cooperation is a win-win relationship and by no means a zero-sum game, bringing concrete benefits to US companies and people. Some Americans claim that the United States is “losing” in this relationship, a claim which does not stand up to scrutiny.

二、中美经贸关系的事实  微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

II. Clarifications of the facts about China-US trade and economic cooperation

中美经贸交往规模庞大、内涵丰富、覆盖面广、涉及主体多元，产生一些矛盾分歧在所难免。两国应以全局综合的视角看待，从维护两国战略利益和国际秩序大局出发，以求同存异的态度妥善处理分歧，务实化解矛盾。但是，现任美国政府通过发布《对华301调查报告》等方式，对中国作出“经济侵略”、“不公平贸易”、“盗窃知识产权”、“国家资本主义”等一系列污名化指责，严重歪曲了中美经贸关系的事实，无视中国改革开放的巨大成绩和中国人民为此付出的心血汗水，这既是对中国政府和中国人民的不尊重，也是对美国人民真实利益的不尊重，只会导致分歧加大、摩擦升级，最终损害双方根本利益。

Economic cooperation and trade between the two countries is so huge, substantive and broad-based, with so many players, that it is inevitable for some differences and friction to emerge. The two countries need to take a comprehensive perspective, keep in mind their strategic interests and the international order, properly handle their differences by seeking common ground while shelving differences, and take practical steps to resolve their tensions. However, in its Section 301 report and other ways, the current US administration stigmatizes China by accusing it of “economic aggression”, “unfair trade”, “IPR theft” and “national capitalism”. This is a gross distortion of the facts in China-US trade and economic cooperation. It turns a blind eye to the huge progress in China’s reform and opening-up as well as the dedication and hard work of the Chinese people. This is disrespectful to the Chinese government and people as well as incompatible with the real interests of the American people. It will only aggravate differences and tensions, which in the end will damage the fundamental interests of both countries.

（一）不应仅看货物贸易差额片面评判中美经贸关系得失

1. The gap in trade in goods alone is not a good indicator of China-US trade and economic cooperation.微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

客观认识和评价中美双边贸易是否平衡，需要全面深入考察，不能只看货物贸易差额。中国并不刻意追求贸易顺差，事实上，中国经常账户顺差与国内生产总值之比已由2007年的11.3%降至2017年的1.3%。中美货物贸易不平衡现象更多是美国经济结构和现有比较优势格局下市场自主选择的自然结果，解决这一问题需要双方共同努力进行结构性调整。美国无视影响中美经贸关系的多方面因素，片面强调两国货物贸易不平衡现象，将责任归咎于中国，是不公平、不合理的。

An objective understanding and assessment of China-US trade balance calls for comprehensive and in-depth study, rather than a glance at the trade deficit in goods. It is not China’s intention to have a trade surplus. Rather, the ratio of China’s current account surplus to its GDP has declined from 11.3% in 2007 to 1.3% in 2017. The imbalance of trade in goods between China and the US is more of a natural outcome of voluntary choices the US has made in economic structure and market in the light of its comparative strengths. To resolve this issue, both sides need to make concerted efforts in restructuring. The United States turns a blind eye to various factors in its trade and economic cooperation with China, singles out the imbalance of trade in goods, and blames China for the imbalance, which is unfair and unreasonable.

中美经贸往来获益大致平衡。中美双边货物贸易不平衡现象有一个历史演变过程。在上世纪80年代至90年代初期美国一直处于顺差地位，1992年之后中国转为顺差并持续增加。

China-US trade and economic cooperation delivers balanced benefits in general. The imbalance of trade in goods between the two countries has evolved over time. From the 1980s to early 1990s, the US ran a surplus in its trade with China; in 1992 China began to run surplus, which has continued to grow.

在经济全球化深入发展、国际化生产普遍存在的今天，双边经贸关系内涵早已超出货物贸易，服务贸易和本国企业在对方国家分支机构的本地销售额（即双向投资中的本地销售）也应考虑进来。综合考虑货物贸易、服务贸易和本国企业在对方国家分支机构的本地销售额三项因素，中美双方经贸往来获益大致平衡，而且美方净收益占优（图4）。根据中国商务部统计，2017年美国对华服务贸易顺差为541亿美元，美国在服务贸易方面占有显著优势。根据美国商务部经济分析局数据，2015年美资企业在华销售额高达4814亿美元，远高于中资企业在美256亿美元的销售额，美国占有4558亿美元的优势，美国企业跨国经营优势更为突出。2018年6月德意志银行发布的研究报告《估算美国和主要贸易伙伴之间的经济利益》认为，从商业利益角度分析，考虑到跨国公司的全球经营对双边经贸交往的影响，美国实际上在中美双边贸易交往过程中获得了比中国更多的商业净利益。根据其计算，扣除各自出口中其他国家企业子公司的贡献等，2017年美国享有203亿美元的净利益（注12）。

In today’s world of greater globalization and widespread international production, bilateral trade and economic cooperation already extend beyond trade in goods. Trade in services and sales of local subsidiaries in the host country (local sales in two-way investment) should also be included. If we give full consideration to these three factors—trade in goods, trade in services and sales of local subsidiaries in the host country, trade and economic cooperation delivers balanced benefits in general for China and the United States, with the latter reaping more net benefits. (See Chart 4)According to MOFCOM, the US ran a surplus of US$54.1 billion in trade in services in 2017, indicating its remarkable competitive strength in this area. According to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the sales of US companies in China reached US$481.4 billion in 2015, way higher than the US$25.6 billion sales of Chinese companies in the US, an advantage of US$455.8 billion. US companies enjoy an even bigger advantage in cross-border operations. In June 2018, Deutsche Bank released a report on calculating economic interests between the US and its major trading partners, arguing that, from the perspective of commercial interests, the US has in fact gained more commercial net benefits than China from their two-way trade, given the impact of global operations by multinational corporations on bilateral trade and economic cooperation. According to Deutsche Bank, after contributions from subsidiaries of third countries are taken away, the US enjoyed net benefits of US$20.3 billion in 2017.

中美货物贸易差额是美国经济结构性问题的必然结果，也是由两国比较优势和国际分工格局决定的。中美双边货物贸易差额长期存在并不断扩大，是多重客观因素共同作用的结果，并不是中国刻意追求的结果。

The gap in China-US trade in goods is a natural outcome of the US economic structure, and a result of the two countries’ comparative strengths and the international division of labor. The persistent and growing gap in trade in goods between the two countries is a result of a number of factors, rather than China’s intent.

第一，这是美国国内储蓄不足的必然结果。从国民经济核算角度看，一国经常项目是盈余还是赤字，取决于该国储蓄与投资的关系。美国经济的典型特征是低储蓄、高消费，储蓄长期低于投资，2018年第一季度，美国净国民储蓄率仅为1.8%。为了平衡国内经济，美国不得不通过贸易赤字形式大量利用外国储蓄，这是美国贸易逆差形成并长期存在的根本原因。自1971年以来，美国总体上处于贸易逆差状态，2017年与102个国家存在贸易逆差。美国贸易逆差是一种内生性、结构性、持续性的经济现象。美国目前对中国的贸易逆差，只是美国对全球贸易逆差的阶段性、国别性反映。

First, it is a natural outcome of a low savings rate in the US. From the perspective of national accounts, the balance of a country’s current account is decided by the relationship between savings and investment. The US economy is characterized by low savings and high consumption. Savings have been lower than investment for many years. In the first quarter of 2018, the US net national savings rate was as low as 1.8%. To balance its domestic economy, the US has to attract a large amount of foreign savings by trade deficit. This is the fundamental cause of the US trade deficit over the years. The US began to run trade deficits in its foreign trade in 1971, and by 2017 it was running trade deficits with 102 countries. The US trade deficit is an endogenous, structural and sustained economic phenomenon. The current trade deficit of the US with the rest of the world has shifted among its trading partners and resides with China for the time being.

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

第二，这是中美产业比较优势互补的客观反映。从双边贸易结构看，中国顺差主要来源于劳动密集型产品和制成品，而在飞机、集成电路、汽车等资本与技术密集型产品和农产品领域都是逆差。2017年，中国对美农产品贸易逆差为164亿美元，占中国农产品贸易逆差总额的33%；飞机贸易逆差为127.5亿美元，占中国飞机贸易逆差总额的60%；汽车贸易逆差为117亿美元。因此，中美货物贸易不平衡是双方发挥各自产业竞争优势的情况下市场自主选择的结果。

Second, it is a fair reflection of the complementarity and comparative strengths of Chinese and US industries. In terms of trade mix, China’s trade surplus with the US mainly comes from labor-intensive products and manufactured goods, and its trade deficit with the US lies in capital- and technology-intensive products such as aircraft, integrated circuits, and automobiles, as well as agricultural products. In 2017, China ran a US$16.4 billion trade deficit with the US in agricultural products, accounting for 33% of China’s total trade deficit in the agricultural sector; a US$12.75 billion trade deficit with the US in aircraft, accounting for 60% of China’s total trade deficit in this sector; China also ran a US$11.7 billion deficit in automobile trade with the US. Therefore, the imbalance in trade in goods is a result of voluntary market choices where both countries have played to their industrial competitive strengths.

第三，这是国际分工和跨国公司生产布局变化的结果。随着全球价值链和国际分工深入发展，跨国公司利用中国生产成本低、配套生产能力强、基础设施条件好等优势，来华投资设厂组装制造产品，销往包括美国在内的全球市场。从贸易主体看，据中国海关统计，2017年中国对美货物贸易顺差的59%来自外商投资企业。随着中国承接国际产业转移和融入亚太生产网络，中国在很大程度上承接了过去日本、韩国等其他东亚经济体对美的贸易顺差。据美国商务部经济分析局统计，日本、韩国等东亚经济体占美国总逆差的比值，由1990年的53.3%下降为2017年的11%，同期中国对美贸易顺差的占比则由9.4%上升为46.3%（图5）。

Third, it is a result of the international division of labor and the changing configuration of production locations by multinational companies. As the global value chain and international division of labor expand, multinational companies have come to establish factories in China to assemble and manufacture products and sell them to the US and the global market, thanks to China’s low production costs, strength in auxiliary production, and reliable infrastructure. When it comes to players in foreign trade, according to China Customs, 59% of China’s trade surplus with the US was contributed by foreign-invested enterprises in China in 2017. In the process of receiving international industrial relocation and joining the Asia-Pacific industrial network, China has, to a large extent, taken over the trade surpluses of Japan, the ROK and other East Asian economies with the US. According to US BEA, the shares of Japan, the ROK and other East Asian Economies in the total US trade deficit have declined from 53.3% in 1990 to 11% in 2017, while China’s trade surplus with the US has risen from 9.4% to 46.3% in the same period. (Chart 5)

第四，这是美国对华高技术产品出口管制的结果。美国在高新技术产品贸易方面拥有巨大竞争优势，但美国政府基于冷战思维，长期对华实施严格的出口管制，人为抑制了美国优势产品对华出口潜力，造成美企业丧失大量对华出口机会，加大了中美货物贸易逆差。据美国卡内基国际和平基金会2017年4月的报告分析（注13），美国若将对华出口管制放松至对巴西的水平，美国对华贸易逆差可缩减24%；如果放松至对法国的水平，美国对华贸易逆差可缩减35%。由此可见，美国高技术产品对华出口的潜力远未充分发挥，美国不是不可以减少对华贸易逆差，只是自己关闭了增加对华出口的大门。

Fourth, this is the consequence of US export control over high-tech products exported to China. The US boasts huge competitive strength in high-tech trade. Yet, haunted by the cold-war mentality, it imposes strict export controls on China, thereby limiting the potential of advantageous US exports, causing significant lost export opportunities, and widening its trade deficit with China. According to a report by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in April 2017 , if US export controls on China were relaxed to the level of those on Brazil, its deficit could be cut by 24%, and 35% if relaxed to the level of France. Evidently there remains a huge potential to be tapped in high-tech exports to China. If the US had not itself closed the door, it could well have seen its trade deficit reduced.

第五，这是美元作为主要国际货币的结果。二战结束后确立了以美元为中心的布雷顿森林体系，一方面，美国利用美元“嚣张的特权”（注14）向世界各国征收“铸币税”，美国印制一张百元美钞的成本不过区区几美分，但其他国家为获得这张美钞必须提供价值相当于100美元的实实在在的商品和服务。另一方面，美元作为主要国际货币客观上需要承担为国际贸易提供清偿能力的职能，美国通过逆差不断输出美元。美国贸易逆差背后有其深刻的利益基础和国际货币制度根源。

Fifth, this is the result of the US dollar being a major global currency. The Bretton Woods system established after WWII was based on the US dollar. On the one hand, the US uses its “exorbitant privilege” to levy seignorage on all countries. For the US the cost for printing a hundred-dollar bill is no more than a few cents, but other countries will have to provide real goods and services in exchange for that note. On the other hand, as a major global currency, the US dollar supports global trade settlements, and the US supplies US dollars to the world by way of a deficit. Therefore, beneath the US trade deficit lie profound US interests and the very root of the international currency system.

此外，美国统计方法相对高估了中美货物贸易逆差额。中美双方的统计差异长期存在，且差异较大。2017年，中国统计对美货物贸易顺差为2758亿美元，美国统计对华逆差接近3958亿美元，相差1000亿美元左右。由中美两国商务部相关专家组成的统计工作组，每年就中美贸易统计差异进行一次比较研究。根据该工作组测算，美国官方统计的对华贸易逆差每年都被高估20%左右。根据中国海关和美国商务部普查局的统计，双方统计结果在最近十年来的走势和变动幅度大致相同（图6）。引起差异的原因包括进口价格和出口价格之间的差异、转口贸易增值、直接贸易加价、地理辖区、运输时滞等。

In addition, US statistics exaggerate its deficit in trade in goods with China. There has been a significant and long-standing statistical divergence between China and the US. In 2017, Chinese statistics recorded a Chinese surplus of US$275.8 billion, while US statistics showed it to be US$395.8 billion, a gap of about US$100 billion. The statistical working group comprising experts from the USDOC and MOFCOM compare every year the statistics from China and the US, and estimate that the US statistics overstate the trade deficit with China by 20% every year. According to statistics from China Customs and the USDOC, the dynamics of and gap between the two statistics have been largely the same over the past decade.(Chart 6) Causes for divergence include differences between CIF and FOB prices, transit trade value-added, direct trade markup, geographical jurisdiction, and shipping time delay.

若以贸易增加值方法核算，美国对华逆差将大幅下降。中国对外贸易具有大进大出特点，中美贸易亦是如此。据中国商务部统计，从贸易方式看，中美贸易不平衡的61%来自加工贸易。中国在很多加工制成品出口中获得的增加值，仅占商品总价值的一小部分，而当前贸易统计方法是以总值（中国对美出口的商品全额）计算中国出口。世贸组织和经合组织等从2011年起倡导以“全球制造”新视角看待国际化生产，提出以“贸易增加值核算”方法分析各国参与国际分工的实际地位和收益，并建立了世界投入产出数据库。以2016年为例，据中国海关按照传统贸易总值的统计，中国对美顺差额为2507亿美元；但若根据世界投入产出数据库，从贸易增加值角度核算，中国对美贸易顺差为1394亿美元，较总值方法减少44.4%。

If calculated by value added, the deficit would decrease significantly. China’s foreign trade is characterized by large-scale imports and large-scale exports in processing, which applies to its trade with the US as well. According to MOFCOM, by trade methods, 61% of the China-US trade imbalance comes from processing. The value added in China accounts for only a small portion of the total value of many products, while the current approach is to calculate an export by aggregate (total value of goods exported). The WTO and the OECD started to advocate in 2011 a global perspective on production, and proposed to analyze the roles and benefits of all countries participating in the global distribution of labor by the approach of value-added accounting, for which the database WIOD was established. As an example, in 2016 conventional statistics show China’s surplus with the US to be US$250.7 billion. Based on the WIOD database and using the value-added approach, this would become US$139.4 billion, a 44.4% decrease from the aggregate approach.

（二）不应脱离世界贸易组织的互惠互利原则谈论公平贸易

2. The discussion of fair trade should not be detached from the principle of mutual benefit of the WTO微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

近年来，美国从倡导“自由贸易”转向强调所谓“公平贸易”，并赋予其新解释。现任美国政府强调的所谓“公平贸易”不是基于国际规则，而是以“美国优先”为前提，以维护美国自身利益为目标。其核心是所谓“对等”开放，即各国在每个具体产品的关税水平和每个具体行业的市场准入上都与美国完全一致，寻求绝对对等。在美国政府看来，美国与其他国家市场开放“不对等”使美国处于不公平的贸易地位，并导致双边贸易不平衡。这种对等概念，与世界贸易组织的互惠互利原则并不一致。

In recent years, the US has turned away from “free trade” to advocating so-called “fair trade”, to which it has added new meanings. Unlike previous administrations, the incumbent administration emphasizes a “fair trade” that is not based on international rules but “America first”, or the protection of America’s own interests. The core is so-called “reciprocal” opening, an idea of absolute equality, believing that all countries should apply identical tariff levels and provide identical market access in all sectors in their dealings with the US. In the eyes of the US government, the lack of reciprocity in market opening in other markets puts the US in an unfair position, and leads to bilateral trade imbalances. Such a concept of reciprocity is inconsistent with the reciprocal and mutually advantageous principle of the WTO.

世界贸易组织所提倡的互惠互利原则，考虑了各国发展阶段的差别。在世界贸易组织框架下，发展中成员享有差别和更优惠待遇。这种制度安排是在尊重发展中国家和地区发展权的基础上，积极吸纳新的发展中成员加入，以扩大成员数量、增强多边体制的包容性，也体现了以当期优惠换取后期开放的互惠原则。对于发展中成员而言，由于其处于发展初期阶段，需要对产业适度保护以促进良性发展，其市场随经济发展扩大后，也将为发达国家带来更多商业机会。发展中成员享有差别和更优惠待遇，符合包括发达成员在内的各国各地区长期利益，这种制度安排是真正意义上的国际公平。2001年，中国通过多边谈判以发展中成员身份加入世界贸易组织，享受发展中成员待遇。十几年来，中国经济实现了快速发展，但仍然是一个发展中国家。由于中国有13.9亿人口，经济总量数据显得较为庞大，但这没有改变人均发展水平较低的现实。根据国际货币基金组织数据，2017年中国人均国内生产总值8643美元，仅为美国的14.5%，排在世界第71位。2017年末中国还有3046万农村贫困人口。仅以中国经济和贸易总规模较大为依据，要求中国和美国实现关税绝对对等是不合理的。美国追求绝对对等的做法，违背了世界贸易组织最惠国待遇和非歧视性原则（专栏1）。

The principle of reciprocity of the WTO takes into consideration different development stages by granting special and differential and more favorable treatment to developing members. This arrangement aims to attract new developing members, increase the WTO’s representation and enhance the inclusiveness of the multilateral system, while respecting the right to develop of developing countries and regions. It enshrines the principle of mutual benefit in exchanging present favors for future opening. Developing members that are in the initial stage of development need appropriate protection for their industries to promote sound growth, which will provide more opportunities for developed countries in time. This differential and more favorable treatment is in the long-term interests of all countries and regions, including developed members, and this is genuine global fairness. In 2001, China joined the WTO as a developing member and has been treated as such. It still remains a developing country even after more than a decade of rapid economic development. China’s large population of 1.39 billion dilutes massive economic figures to low levels on a per capita basis. According to IMF statistics, in 2017 the per capita GDP of China was US$8,643, only 14.5% of that of the US, and ranking 71st in the world. By the end of 2017 there were still 30.46 million rural people living in poverty. It is unfair to demand absolute equality in tariffs between China and the US simply on the grounds of China’s economic aggregate and trade volume. The absolute equality approach also violates the MFN and non-discrimination principles of the WTO (Box 1).

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

Box 1 So-called Reciprocal Opening is not in Line with the Non-Discrimination Principle of the WTO

In the WTO, the reciprocal and mutually advantageous principle (including most-favored nation treatment and national treatment) and the non-discrimination principle are closely linked. The preambles of the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization and GATT 1994 mention “reciprocal and mutually advantageous arrangements directed to the substantial reduction of tariffs and other barriers to trade and to the elimination of discriminatory treatment in international trade relations”. At its heart is providing MFN treatment to all WTO members and not arbitrarily discriminating against other WTO members. But it is often prone to misunderstanding or abuse, incompatible with the MFN treatment on many occasions and prone to become an excuse for discriminatory treatment. On February 12th, 2018, the US announced for the first time that it was considering reciprocal tariffs on certain products coming into the US, the same as those imposed by the counterpart on the import of the same products from the US. By insisting on absolute equality in treatment regarding a certain product, this idea of reciprocity distorts the mutual benefit principle. The WTO-defined “reciprocal” and the so-called “reciprocal” of the US have different meanings. If reciprocal tariffs were to be implemented on a large scale, it would lead to different tariffs for different countries, deviating from the MFN treatment. And if reciprocal tariffs are imposed on a small number of countries with high tariff rates, it would be tantamount to the US withholding MFN treatment towards these countries.

世界贸易组织所提倡的互惠互利原则，是各国就所有产业开放市场实现总体互惠和利益平衡，并非狭义局限于每个产业或产品承诺水平对等。由于资源禀赋、产业竞争力的差异，很难实现两个经济体绝对对等开放，不同产业关税水平是有差异的。如果按照美国绝对对等逻辑，美国自身也有大量不公平和不对等的情况。例如，中国对带壳花生、乳制品和货车征收的关税分别为15%、12%和15%－25%，而据世界贸易组织关税数据显示，美国相应的关税分别为163.8%、16%和25%，均高于中国（表2）。

The reciprocity and mutual benefit principle advocated by the WTO means overall reciprocity and balance of interests in market opening across all the industries of the members, rather than narrowly defined reciprocity of treatment for a specific industry or product. Given the differences in endowment and competitiveness, absolutely reciprocal opening would be virtually impossible, and tariffs in different industries diverge. Even if we follow this absolute reciprocity logic of the US, unfair and non-reciprocal practices are more than common in the US. For example, China’s tariffs on peanuts in the shell, dairy products and trucks are 15%, 12% and 15-25% respectively, while WTO tariff figures show those of the US to be 163.8%, 16% and 25%, all higher than China. (Table 2)

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

事实上，中国在切实履行加入世界贸易组织承诺后，还主动通过单边降税扩大市场开放。截至2010年，中国货物降税承诺全部履行完毕，关税总水平由2001年的15.3%降至9.8%。中国并未止步于履行加入世界贸易组织承诺，而是通过签订自由贸易协定等方式推进贸易投资自由化，给予最不发达国家关税特殊优惠，多次以暂定税率方式大幅自主降低进口关税水平。根据世界贸易组织数据，2015年中国贸易加权平均关税税率已降至4.4%，明显低于韩国、印度、印度尼西亚等新兴经济体和发展中国家，已接近美国（2.4%）和欧盟（3%）的水平；在农产品和制成品方面，中国已分别低于日本农产品和澳大利亚非农产品的实际关税水平（表3）。2018年以来，中国进一步主动将汽车整车最惠国税率降至15%，将汽车零部件最惠国税率从最高25%降至6%；大范围降低部分日用消费品进口关税，涉及1449个税目，其最惠国平均税率从15.7%降至6.9%，平均降幅达55.9%。目前，中国关税总水平已进一步降为8%。

China, having fulfilled its WTO commitments, has voluntarily engaged in unilateral tariff reductions to expand market opening. By 2010, all commitments in goods had been fulfilled, with the overall tariff level decreased from 15.3% in 2001 to 9.8%. Yet China did not limit itself to WTO commitments; it has promoted trade and investment liberalization through FTAs, given special treatment in tariffs to LDCs, and significantly reduced import tariffs using provisional tariffs on several occasions. According to the WTO, China’s weighted tariff in 2015 had fallen to 4.4%, significantly lower than that of emerging economies and developing countries such as the Republic of Korea, India and Indonesia, approaching that of the US (2.4%) and the EU (3%). China’s tariffs on agricultural products are lower than the real tariffs of Japan, and lower than those of Australia for non-agricultural goods (Table 3). From the beginning of 2018, China further voluntarily cut the MFN rate on whole vehicles to 15%, and the MFN rate on auto parts from a maximum 25% to 6%. China has reduced import tariffs for 1,449 daily necessities, with the MFN rate down by an average of 55.9%from 15.7% to 6.9%. Currently, China’s overall tariff rate has been reduced to 8%.

美国所主张的“公平贸易”和“对等开放”，否定各国发展阶段、资源禀赋和优势产业的客观差异，无视发展中国家发展权，势必会对发展中国家经济和产业造成冲击，造成更大范围的不公平，最终也不利于美国企业扩大国际市场，分享发展中国家发展机遇。

The idea of “fair trade” and “reciprocal opening up” advocated by the US ignores the existence of objective differences among countries in terms of stage of development, resources, and competitive industries, and ignores developing countries’ right to develop. It will create an impact on the economy and industries of the developing countries, result in broader inequality, and eventually prevent American businesses from expanding their international market share and sharing development opportunities in the developing countries.

中国加入世界贸易组织后，为世界经济发展作出了重要贡献。国际上有的人认为，中国加入世界贸易组织是占了便宜，其他国家吃了亏。事实上，中国加入世界贸易组织后，中国低成本劳动力、土地等资源与国际资本、技术相结合，迅速形成巨大生产能力，推动了全球产业链、价值链发展，促进了世界经济增长。在此期间，外商对华直接投资持续扩大，规模从2001年468.8亿美元，增加到2017年的1363.2亿美元，年均增长6.9%，跨国公司分享了中国经济发展的巨大机遇。与此同时，中国在经济快速发展过程中也在环境、产业调整等方面承担了较大成本。

Since its accession to the WTO, China has made important contribution to world economic development. Some people think China has taken advantage of its WTO membership while putting other countries at a disadvantage. In fact, after China joined the WTO, it has provided international capital and technologies with low-cost labor and land resources, generating immense production capacity that has promoted the development of global industrial chain and value chain, and world economic growth. In this process, FDI to China has kept on growing, surging from USD46.88 billion in 2001 to USD136.32 billion in 2017, at an annual growth of 6.9%. Multinationals have shared the immense opportunities in China’s economic development. In the meantime, China has paid a high cost in environment and industrial restructuring as its economy grows rapidly.微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

（三）不应违背契约精神指责中国进行强制技术转让

3. China should not be accused of forced technology transfer as it is against the spirit of contract

中国改革开放以来，外国企业为了拓展新兴市场、节约生产支出、实现规模效益和延长技术获利时间，主动与中国企业建立合作伙伴关系，订立契约合同，把产能和订单向中国转移，这完全是基于商业利益的企业自愿行为。不能因为中国企业的技术进步，就把原本双方自愿的交易活动歪曲为强制技术转让，这既不符合历史事实，也是对契约精神的背弃。

Since the adoption of reform and opening up, foreign enterprises have established partnerships with Chinese companies by voluntarily entering into contracts. They transferred production capacity and orders to China of their own volition so as to tap into the emerging market, save production costs, achieve economy of scale, and extend the term of profiting from technologies. These are voluntary behaviors based on business interests. However, it accords with neither historical facts nor the spirit of contract to unjustly label bilateral transactions on a voluntary basis as forced technology transfer simply on the grounds of Chinese firms’ technological advances.

中国与美国等发达国家合作过程中发生的技术转移，源自发达国家企业出于利益最大化考虑的主动技术转让及产业转移。产品生命周期理论表明，任何一种产品都会因新技术的应用而经历一个由盛到衰的生命周期。跨国公司在努力开发新技术的同时，需要不断向发展中国家转让已落后或是标准化了的技术，以延长依靠旧技术获取利润的时间，并为新技术研发应用腾出空间和要素资源，也间接分担研发成本，技术转让和许可是常用的商业合作模式。上世纪90年代以来，微软、英特尔、高通、宝洁、通用电气、朗讯等美国公司相继在中国设立研发机构，目的是更好适应和开发中国市场。多年来美国在华企业通过技术转让与许可获得了巨额利益回报，是技术合作的最大受益者。

Technology transfer in the course of cooperation between China and developed countries such as the US is voluntary technology transfer and industrial transfer initiated by the enterprises of developed countries keen to maximize their interests. The product life-cycle theory indicates that any kind of product goes through a life-cycle from peak to decline due to application of new technologies. While endeavoring to develop new technologies, multinationals continuously transfer technologies that are either obsolete or standardized to developing countries with a view to extending the term of profiting from old technologies, making room and sparing production factors for R&D and application of new ones, and indirectly sharing R&D costs. Therefore, technology transfer and licensing is a widely-used business cooperation model. Since the 1990s, Microsoft, Intel, Qualcomm, P&G, GE, Lucent, and other American companies have set up R&D facilities in China in a bid to better adapt to and explore the Chinese market. Over the years, American firms in China have earned handsome profits through technology transfer and licensing. They are the largest beneficiary of technological cooperation.

在中外企业合作中，中国政府没有强制要求外商投资企业转让技术的政策和做法。中外企业技术合作和其他经贸合作完全是基于自愿原则实施的契约行为，双方企业都从中获得了实际利益。一般来说，外国企业技术收入有三种模式：（1）一次性转让，可以按转让价结算，也可以折价入股；（2）销售的设备、零部件或产品中，包括技术收入；（3）技术许可，收取许可费。比如，当一家具有技术优势的外国企业销售设备给中国企业，中国企业由于不掌握设备的某些技术，需要长期多次购买设备提供方的技术服务和零部件，在此情况下，中国企业愿意以一次性付费的方式向外方购买部分技术。这种技术转让要求，属于企业在成本效益核算基础上的正常议价谈判，无论分次支付技术费还是一次性支付技术费，都是国际商业技术交易中常见的做法。美国政府将外商投资企业通过订立商业合同与中国企业建立伙伴关系、转让或许可其技术、共同在中国市场上获得商业回报的自愿合作行为称为“强制技术转让”，完全是对事实的歪曲。微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

In the process of cooperation, the Chinese government has never introduced policies or practices that force foreign invested enterprises to transfer technology. Technological cooperation and other forms of commercial cooperation between Chinese and foreign businesses are entirely voluntary and bound by contracts. It generates real benefits for companies on both sides. Generally speaking, there are three patterns of technology-related revenues earned by foreign enterprises: (1) one-off transfer through settlement by an agreed price or discounted equity participation; (2) technology-related income that is included in the sales of equipment, components or products; and (3) technology licensing fees. For example a foreign enterprise with a technological advantage sells equipment to a Chinese company short of certain technologies related to the equipment. The Chinese company has to buy technical services and components from the equipment supplier multiple times in the long run. The Chinese company is willing to purchase some of the technologies from the foreign company for a one-off payment. Such requirements for technology transfer are normal price negotiations based on cost-benefit accounting. Such technology fee payments, be they in installments or in a lump-sum, are common practices in international commercial technology trading. It is a complete distortion of the facts that the US administration labels as forced technology transfer the voluntary behaviors of FIEs to partner with Chinese companies, transfer or license technologies, and reap profits together in Chinese market by entering into business contracts.

除此之外，中国在某些领域的股权合作符合中国的国际义务、各国惯例和实践，不能被混淆为“强制技术转让”。而且，近几年中国对外商投资的股权限制不断放开，外国企业自由选择权不断扩大（专栏2）。在此过程中，中外企业股权合作仍然不断深化，完全是双方基于商业原因的自由选择。

Besides, equity cooperation in some areas is in line with China’s international obligations and usual practices of many countries, and does not constitute forced technology transfer either. In recent years, China has eased restrictions on foreign equity (See Box 2), and given foreign businesses greater freedom of choice. In this process, equity cooperation between Chinese and foreign enterprises becomes deeper as a result of free choices based on commercial considerations by the two sides.

Box 2 China markedly relaxes market access for foreign investment

China revised the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries in 2015 and 2017. Restricted measures have been reduced by 65% to 63 items, and only 28 items are left under the prohibited category. On June 28, 2018, China for the first time published Special Administrative Measures for Foreign Investment Access (Negative List) 2018, reducing restrictions from 63 to 48, and introducing new opening up measures in 22 sectors.

China has notably expanded market access in areas of interest to FIEs. In manufacturing, foreign equity caps will be lifted for the shipbuilding industry, including design, production and repair, and the airplane industry, including trunk airliners, regional jets, utility aircraft, helicopters, drones and lighter-than-air aircraft. In the automobile industry, China will remove foreign equity caps on manufacturing of special-purpose vehicles and new energy vehicles, and phase out those on all automotive ventures over the next five years. In the financial sector, China has lifted foreign equity caps for banks, and raised the cap to 51% for securities, fund management companies, futures and life insurers. All the foreign equity caps in finance will be removed by 2021.

Market opening has attracted more foreign investment into China. On July 10, 2018, Shanghai Municipal government and Tesla signed a memorandum of cooperation which will allow Tesla to wholly own its first super factory built outside of the US, in Shanghai. Foreign financial institutions are also speeding up efforts to explore the Chinese market. Since 2017, 14 foreign institutions such as Fidelity, UBS Asset Management, Man Group, Fullerton, Blackrock, and Schroeder have registered as private securities investment fund managers in China. On June 29, 2018, the world’s largest hedge fund manager, Bridgewater Associates LP, concluded its registration as a private fund manager in China and officially launched its private fund business in the market.

The WTO noted in the report of trade policy review on China that the country remains one of the top foreign investment recipients and its inward FDI has kept rising for many years.图表：专栏2 中国大幅放宽外商投资准入 新华社发

美国政府关于中国“偷盗”先进技术的指责是对中国科技进步艰苦努力的污蔑。中华民族是勤劳智慧、善于创造的民族，中国政府高度重视科学技术和教育发展，中国科技进步是中国长期实施科教兴国战略和创新驱动发展战略的结果，是全体人民特别是科技工作者辛勤劳动的成果。2000年以来，中国全社会研发经费投入以年均近20%的速度增长。2017年，中国全社会研发经费投入1.76万亿人民币，仅次于美国，位居全球第二，占国内生产总值的比重达到2.13%（注15），已经接近经合组织国家平均水平。中国有2613所高等学校，10.9万家各类研发机构，超过621万研发人员，2017年研发人员全时当量达403万人年，其中企业占77.3%。（注16）2017年，有113家中国企业进入“2017全球创新1000强”榜单（注17），仅次于美国、日本，位居全球第三。世界知识产权组织2018年7月发布的“2018全球创新指数”排名中，中国由2016年的第22名升至第17名（注18）。2017年，中国专利申请369.8万件，授予专利权183.6万件（注19）；发明专利申请量达138.2万件，同比增长14.2%，连续7年居世界首位（注20）；根据世界知识产权组织公布的数字，2017年中国通过《专利合作条约》途径提交的国际专利申请量达4.9万件，仅次于美国。有10家中国企业进入企业国际专利申请量前50位。美国前财政部长、著名经济学家拉里·萨默斯说：“你问我中国的技术进步来自哪里，它来自于那些从政府对基础科学巨额投资中受益的优秀企业家，来自于推崇卓越、注重科学和技术的教育制度。它们的领导地位就是这样产生的，而不是通过在一些美国公司持股产生的。”（注21）

That the US administration accuses China of “stealing” advanced technologies is an insult to China’s efforts to push for scientific and technological advances. The Chinese nation is known for diligence, intelligence, and ingenuity. The Chinese government sets great store by the development of science, technology and education. The progress in science and technology China has made comes from years of implementing a strategy of invigorating the country through science, technology and education and the strategy of innovation-driven development, and from the hard work of the Chinese people, especially scientific workers. Since 2000, the total R&D spend in China has registered an average annual growth rate of close to 20%. In 2017, China spent RMB 1.76 trillion in R&D, second only to the US, accounting for 2.13% of total GDP, and approaching the average level of the OECD countries. China has 2,613 institutions of higher education, 10,900 research institutions of all sorts, and over 6.21 million people engaged in R&D. In 2017, the full-time equivalent of R&D personnel in China reached 4.03 million man-years, of which 77.3% were in enterprises. In the same year, China ranked third after the US and Japan with 113 Chinese enterprises listed among “The 2017 Global Innovation 1000”. According to the “Global Innovation Index 2018” released by WIPO in July 2018, China’s ranking rose from 22ndin 2016 to 17thin 2018 . In 2017, patent applications reached 3.698 million in China, of which 1.836 million patents were granted. China’s invention patent applications reached 1.382 million, up by 14.2% year-on-year, ranking 1stin the world for seven years in a row. According to WIPO statistics, China filed 49,000 international patent applications via the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) in 2017, second only to the US. Among the top 50 international patent applicants, ten are Chinese enterprises. As former US Treasury Secretary and renowned American economist Larry Summers once said, “You ask me where China’s technological progress is coming from. It’s coming from terrific entrepreneurs who are getting the benefit of huge government investment in basic science. It’s coming from an educational system that’s privileging excellence, concentrating on science and technology. That’s where their leadership is coming from, not from taking a stake in some US company.”

（四）不应抹杀中国保护知识产权的巨大努力与成效

4. China’s huge efforts and achievements with regard to IPR protection should not be dismissed.

中国在保护知识产权上的态度是明确而坚定的，在立法、执法和司法层面不断强化保护（注22），取得了明显成效。美国政府2016年以前的官方报告，也积极肯定中国在知识产权保护方面取得的成绩。中国美国商会所做的年度商务环境调查显示，其会员企业在华运营的主要挑战中，知识产权侵权行为已由2011年的第7位降低到2018年的第12位。近期美国政府对中国知识产权保护的指责是有悖事实的，完全抹杀了中国保护知识产权的巨大努力与成效。

China’s attitude towards IPR protection is clear and firm. It has continued to reinforce protection through legislation, law enforcement and the judiciary, and achieved some notable successes. Official reports by the US administration before 2016 also acknowledged China’s achievements in IPR protection. The China Business Climate Survey Reports by the American Chamber of Commerce in China indicate that, among the main challenges facing its member enterprises in China, IPR infringement has dropped from the 7thbiggest concern in 2011 to 12thin 2018. The recent accusations by the US administration about China’s IPR protection are unrealistic and completely dismissive of China’s tremendous efforts and achievements in this regard.

中国建立并不断完善知识产权法律体系，法律保护力度不断提高。中国在较短时间内建立起一套完备且高标准的知识产权法律体系，走过了发达国家通常几十年甚至上百年才完成的立法路程。目前已经建立了从法律、规划、政策到执行机构等知识产权保护、运用和管理的完整体系。世界知识产权组织前总干事阿帕德·鲍格胥博士曾评价称，“这在知识产权发展史上是独一无二的”。2013年，中国修订了《商标法》，增加了惩罚性赔偿制度，将法定赔偿限额从50万元提高至300万元，保护力度大幅度提高。自2014年启动的《专利法》第四次全面修改工作，提出了加强专利权保护的相关建议措施，包括加大对侵权行为的惩罚力度、完善证据规则、完善行政保护措施、加强网络环境下专利保护等。2017年修订《反不正当竞争法》，进一步完善了商业秘密的保护，明确市场混淆行为，拓宽对标识的保护范围，同时强化了对有关违法行为的法律责任。2017年10月1日，《中华人民共和国民法总则》施行，该法规定：“民事主体依法享有知识产权”，并明确规定商业秘密属于知识产权，加强了对商业秘密的保护。

China has formulated and improved its laws and regulations on IP protection, and enhanced protection of IPR. China built a fully-fledged and high-standard IP legal framework in a relatively short period, compared to the decades or more that developed countries spent setting up similar legal systems. China has put in place a complete regime of IP protection, utilization and administration, spanning laws, planning, policies and enforcement agencies. Dr. Arpad Bogsch, former Director-General of the WIPO, has commented, “China had accomplished all this at a speed unmatched in the history of intellectual property protection.” In 2013, China amended its Trademark Law, setting up a system of punitive damages under which the damages cap is raised from RMB 500,000 to RMB 3 million, thus remarkably enhancing protection. Since the fourth major amendment to Patent Law launched in 2014, China has put forward measures for further strengthening protection of patents such as introducing harsher punishment for infringements, improving the rule of evidence, enhancing administrative protection, and better protecting patents in cyber space. In 2017, China amended the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, which further improves the protection of trade secrets, identifies act of confusion, expands the scope of protection for indications, and ratchets up legal liabilities for illegal acts. On October 1st, 2017, China adopted General Provisions of the Civil Law, which stipulates that “Civil entities enjoy intellectual property rights in accordance with law”, and enhances protection of trade secrets by making them a subject of IP protection.

加强知识产权司法保护，充分发挥司法保护主导作用。2014年，中国在北京、上海、广州设立了专门的知识产权法院，跨区域管辖专利等知识产权案件。自2009年以来，中国共设立了天津、南京、苏州、武汉、西安等16个知识产权法庭，有效提升了知识产权专业化审判水平。2013年至2017年，中国法院共新收各类知识产权案件813564件，审结781257件。2017年，中国法院共新收一审知识产权案件213480件，结案202970件，分别比上年增加46%和43%（注23）。中国已经成为世界上审理知识产权案件尤其是专利案件最多的国家。中国依法平等保护中外当事人合法权益。2016年，中国法院共审结涉外知识产权民事一审案件1667件，同比上升25.6%（专栏3）（注24）。中国处理涉外知识产权案件的审理周期是全世界最短的之一，北京知识产权法庭平均为4个月。由于司法程序快捷，目前中国法院已被国际上视为知识产权诉讼较为可取的诉讼地，北京知识产权法院受理的案件中有相当一部分双方当事人都是外国人。

China has intensified judicial protection for intellectual property and given full play to judicial protection. In 2014, China set up three IP tribunals in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to handle cross-regional IP cases, including those related to patents. Since 2009, China has established 16 special judicial organs in Tianjin, Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuhan, Xi’an and other cities, effectively enhancing the professional handling of IP cases. Between 2013 and 2017, Chinese courts received 813,564 new IP cases of all sorts, and handled and closed 781,257 cases. In 2017, Chinese courts received 213,480 first-instance cases, and concluded 202,970 cases, up by 46% and 43% from the previous year. More IP cases, especially patent cases, are tried in China than in any other country. China provides equal protection for the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese and foreign interested parties in accordance with law. In 2016, Chinese courts heard and closed 1,667 first-instance cases related to foreign entities and individuals, up by 25.6% year-on-year. (See Box 3) The adjudication period for foreign-related IP cases in China is among the shortest in the world. Beijing IP court processes cases in four months on average. Thanks to its rapid judicial procedure, China is increasingly being selected as the forum of choice for non-Chinese companies to litigate IP disputes, and a significant number of both the plaintiffs and defendants in Beijing IP court are foreigners.

Box 3 Chinese Courts Heard Foreign-related IP Cases in Accordance with LawChinese courts have held open hearings on the “Qiaodan” trademark administrative dispute cases, the Dior trademark dispute cases, and other new types of major and problematic cases in accordance with law. The Supreme People’s Court invited WIPO officers, foreign diplomats in China and relevant parties to observe the hearings. All this shows Chinese courts’ commitment to offering equal protection to Chinese and foreign right holders’ legitimate rights and interests in an open and transparent way, reinforcing judicial protection of IPR, and upholding a market environment that encourages innovation and fair competition.

In 2013, the Shanghai Intermediate People’s Court heard the trade secret misappropriation case lodged by Eli Lilly and Company and Lilly China against Huang Mengwei. The court issued an interlocutory injunction order requiring the defendant to stop infringement actions immediately. In its ruling, the court concluded that the defendant, whose behavior constituted trade secret misappropriation, should bear legal liabilities.

知识产权行政主管部门采取了积极主动的保护措施，行政执法力度持续加强。中国实施行政、司法双轨制保护，知识产权权利人不仅可以寻求司法保护，还可以寻求行政保护。中国国家知识产权局积极构建集快速审查、快速确权、快速维权于一体的快速协同保护体系，建成了基本覆盖全国的“12330”知识产权维权援助与举报投诉网络。专利、商标、版权行政执法部门开展了强有力的主动执法，有效保护了知识产权权利人合法权益。2011年11月，中国国务院印发《关于进一步做好打击侵犯知识产权和制售假冒伪劣商品工作的意见》，成立了全国打击侵犯知识产权和制售假冒伪劣商品工作领导小组，形成由29个部门参与的常态机制。2018年，中国重新组建国家知识产权局，商标、专利执法由市场监管综合执法队伍承担，执法力量得到整合与加强。

IP administrative authorities have taken protective measures and intensified enforcement in a proactive manner. China adopts a dual-track protection system where IP right holders can seek not only judicial but also administrative protection. The State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) has established a coordinated system with rapid review, rapid rights verification, and rapid rights protection, and built a nationwide 12330 network that provides assistance in defending rights and accepting reports and complaints. The patent, trademark and copyright authorities have carried out strong and proactive enforcement that has effectively defended the legitimate interests of IP right holders. In November 2011, the State Council published Opinions on Further Cracking Down on IP Infringement and Manufacture and Sales of Counterfeit and Shoddy Products, setting up a national leading group and signaling a normalized mechanism involving 29 governmental departments. In 2018, China reorganized SIPO by retooling the trademark and patent enforcement teams into a comprehensive enforcement team for market regulation, thus integrating and strengthening the power of enforcement.

中国日益加强的知识产权保护为外国企业在华创新提供了有效保障。国外来华发明专利申请受理量从2012年的117464件增加到了2017年的135885件（注25）。来自国外的商标注册申请量从2013年的9.5万件增加到了2017年的14.2万件，同期存量商标到期续展申请量从1.4万件增加到了2.0万件（注26）。美国彼得森国际经济研究所认为，中国知识产权保护状况不断改善，过去十年间中国使用外国技术支付的专利授权和使用费增长4倍，2017年为286亿美元，排名全球第四，其中为本国境内使用的外国技术支付费用的规模仅次于美国，排名全球第二（注27）。

This intensified IP protection has served as an effective guarantee for foreign businesses to innovate in China. Received foreign invention patent applications grew from 117,464 in 2012 to 135,885 in 2017. Foreign trademark registration applications grew from 95,000 in 2013 to 142,000 in 2017, and trademark extension applications grew from 14,000 to 20,000 in the same period. According to the Peterson Institute, China’s protection of intellectual property is improving. China’s payment of licensing fees and royalties for the use of foreign technology has recorded a four-fold increase over the last decade, reaching US$28.6 billion in 2017 and ranking fourth in the world. In fact, China ranks second globally in the scale of licensing fees paid for technology used within its national borders, second only to the US.

美国企业因中国有效保护知识产权获益丰厚。根据美国商务部经济分析局统计，2016年中国向美国支付知识产权使用费79.6亿美元。中国国家版权局、商务部和国家市场监督管理总局数据显示，2012－2016年，中国自美国引进版权近2.8万项。在商标方面，2002－2016年，美国在华申请转让商标5.8万余件，占中国商标转让申请总数4.54%。在文化方面，中国国家广播电视总局数据显示，2017年中国进口美国影片31部，给美国带来近6.5亿美元收入。

US businesses have benefited hugely from effective IP protection in China. According to US Bureau of Economic Analysis of the DOC, China paid US$7.96 billion in licensing fees to the US in 2016. Statistics from China’s National Copyright Administration, Ministry of Commerce, and State Administration for Market Regulation suggest that from 2012 to 2016, China imported 28,000 copyrights from the US. In terms of trademarks, from 2002 to 2016, the US applied for over 58,000 trademarks transfer in China, making up 4.54% of total transfers. In terms of culture, according to the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film, and TV, in 2017 China imported 31 American films at a cost of US$650 million.

中国知识产权保护成效得到了国际社会的积极肯定。2011年，中国海关被全球反假冒组织授予全球唯一的“反假冒最佳政府机构奖”。2012年，中国公安部经侦局被全球反假冒组织授予“2012年度全球反假冒执法部门最高贡献奖”。2011年5月9日，美国前总统奥巴马表示：“中方在保护知识产权等方面取得了良好进展。美方愿向中国和其他国家出口更多高科技产品，这符合双方的利益。”（注28）2018年2月，美国商会全球知识产权中心发布《2018年国际知识产权指数发展报告》，该报告分40个指标对全球范围内50个经济体知识产权保护环境进行评价，中国位居第25位，较2017年上升2位。

China’s progress in IP protection has been recognized by the international community. In 2011, China Customs won the National Public Body Award of the Global Anti-Counterfeiting Network. In 2012, the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security won the award for Distinguished Contributions to Anti-counterfeiting Enforcement. On 9 May 2011, former US president Obama stated that China had made good progress in IP protection. The US was willing to export more high-tech products to China and other countries in the interests of both sides. In February 2018, GIPC released a report on the International Intellectual Property Index 2018, which maps the national IP environment for 50 surveyed economies with 40 indicators. China ranked 25th, up by 2 places from 2017.

（五）不应将中国政府鼓励企业走出去歪曲为一种推动企业通过并购获取先进技术的政府行为

5. The Chinese government’s encouragement to Chinese business to go global should not be distorted as a government attempt to acquire advanced technologies through commercial M&A.

中国政府鼓励企业走出去开展国际经济交流合作符合世界贸易组织的规则。随着中国企业经营能力提高，根据企业配置资源和开拓市场需要，越来越多企业开始自主向海外发展，这符合经济全球化潮流。与世界上其他国家和地区一样，中国政府支持有实力、有条件的企业，在遵守东道国法律法规和国际规则的前提下，对外投资和拓展国际市场，政府为企业对外投资合作提供便利化的服务。美国将中国政府支持企业走出去，判定为一种推动企业通过并购获取别国先进技术的政府行为，是缺乏事实依据的。

It is consistent with the WTO for the Chinese government to encourage businesses to go global and engage in international economic exchanges and cooperation. As Chinese companies get stronger and the need for resource allocation and market expansion increases, a growing number of firms have started to expand overseas at their own initiative, a trend in line with economic globalization. Like other countries and regions in the world, the Chinese government supports able and competent companies in outbound investment and tapping into international markets, while obeying the laws and regulations of the host countries as well as international rules. The government only provides services that facilitate this outbound investment and cooperation. The arbitrary conclusion of the US that such support is a government act to acquire advanced technologies through commercial M&A is groundless.

此外，中国对美直接投资中，技术寻求型投资占比实际上很低。据美国企业研究所的统计，2005－2017年，中国企业在美232项直接投资中，仅有17项涉及高技术领域，其他大部分分布在房地产、金融以及服务业等领域（注29）。

In fact, among Chinese investments in the US, those that seek to acquire technology represent a small share. According to the American Enterprise Institute, from 2005 to 2017, of 232 direct investments from China, only 17 involved high-technology, while others were mainly in real-estate, finance and services.

（六）不应脱离世界贸易组织规则指责中国的补贴政策

6. China’s subsidy policy complies with WTO rules and should not be attacked.

中国认真遵守世界贸易组织关于补贴政策的规则。补贴政策作为应对市场失灵和解决经济发展不平衡问题的手段之一，被包括美国在内的许多国家和地区普遍使用。加入世界贸易组织以来，中国一直积极推进国内政策领域的合规性改革，切实履行世界贸易组织《补贴与反补贴措施协议》各项义务。

China conscientiously complies with WTO rules on subsidy policy. As one of the tools to address market failure and imbalanced economic development, subsidies are widely used by many countries and regions, including the US. Since China joined the WTO, we have actively pressed ahead with reform to ensure the compliance of domestic policies, and conscientiously honored the obligations under the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.

中国遵守世界贸易组织关于补贴的透明度原则，按照要求定期向世界贸易组织通报国内相关法律、法规和具体措施的修订调整和实施情况。截至2018年1月，中国提交的通报已达上千份，涉及中央和地方补贴政策、农业、技术法规、标准、知识产权法律法规等诸多领域。2016年7月，中国政府按照有关规则，向世界贸易组织提交了2001－2014年地方补贴政策通报，涵盖19个省和3个计划单列市的100项地方补贴政策。2018年7月，又向世界贸易组织提交了2015－2016年中央和地方补贴政策通报，地方补贴通报首次覆盖全部省级行政区域。

China complies with the WTO rules on subsidy transparency. As required, we have regularly notified the WTO of the revision, adjustment and implementation of our domestic laws, regulations and measures. By January 2018, China had submitted thousands of notifications, covering various areas of central and sub-national subsidy policies, agriculture, technical regulations, standards, and IP laws and regulations. In July 2016, in accordance with the relevant rules, the Chinese government notified the WTO of sub-national subsidy policies between 2001 and 2014, covering 100 subsidy policies from 19 provinces and 3 municipalities with independent planning authority. In July 2018 we notified the WTO of the central and sub-national subsidy policies between 2015 and 2016, covering all the provincial level administrative areas for the first time.

为企业营造公平竞争的政策环境。近年来，中国政府一直致力于推进产业政策的转型。2016年6月，中国国务院发布了《关于在市场体系建设中建立公平竞争审查制度的意见》，要求规范政府行为，防止出台新的排除、限制竞争的支持措施，并逐步清理废除已有的妨碍公平竞争的规定和做法。2017年1月，《国务院关于扩大对外开放积极利用外资若干措施的通知》进一步要求，各部门制定外资政策要进行公平竞争审查。2018年6月，《国务院关于积极有效利用外资推动经济高质量发展若干措施的通知》（以下简称《通知》）提出，全面落实准入前国民待遇加负面清单管理制度，负面清单之外的领域，各地区各部门不得专门针对外商投资准入进行限制。《通知》要求，保护外商投资合法权益，完善外商投资企业投诉微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

工作部际联席会议制度，建立健全各地外商投资企业投诉工作机制，及时解决外商投资企业反映的不公平待遇问题，各地不得限制外商投资企业依法跨区域经营、搬迁、注销等行为。

China has created a level playing field for the businesses. In recent years, the Chinese government has committed to transforming industrial policies. In June 2016 the State Council released Opinions on Establishing a Fair Competition Examination System in the Building of the Market System, setting out to guarantee rules-based government actions, prohibit new supportive measures that would exclude or impede competition, and filter out and abolish any existing rules and practices that hamper fair competition. In January 2017, the State Council released a Circular on Several Measures on Promoting Further Openness and Active Utilization of Foreign Investment, requiring authorities concerned to carry out a fair competition review in defining foreign investment policies. In June 2018, the State Council released a Circular on Certain Measures for Actively and Effectively Utilizing Foreign Investment to Promote Quality Economic Development, aiming to grant full pre-establishment national treatment on the basis of a negative list, and remove access restrictions on foreign investment in areas outside the list. As required by the Circular, to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investors, China has improved the inter-departmental joint meeting mechanism for FIEs to lodge complaints, set up and enhanced the complaint mechanism for FIEs across the country, in order to promptly resolve any unfair treatment of FIEs, and avoid restrictions on the law-based cross-regional operation, movement and deregistration of FIEs.

中国农业市场化程度持续提高。2015年，中国国家发展改革委宣布放开烟叶收购价格，标志着中国在农产品价格领域已完全取消了政府定价。2004年以来，在市场定价、自由流通的基础上，中国政府为维护农民基本生计，当市场严重供大于求、价格过度下跌时，对部分农产品实行托市收购制度。近年来，中国政府加大了对托市收购政策的改革力度，定价机制更加市场化（专栏4）。

China’s agricultural industry has become increasingly market-based. In 2015, the NDRC announced the abolition of controlled pricing on tobacco leaves, marking the definitive end to government pricing for agricultural produce. Since 2004, on the basis of market-set price and free circulation, the Chinese government had stepped in to ensure the basic livelihood of farmers by adopting a government purchase system, a backstop in the case of severe oversupply and collapsing prices. In recent years, the Chinese government has stepped up efforts to reform the purchase system by introducing a more market-based price-setting mechanism. (Box 4)

Box 4 Reform of China’s Agricultural Support PoliciesBased on the pilot reform between 2014 and 2016, in March 2017 the NDRC and the Ministry of Finance published the Notice on Deepening Reform of Cotton Target Price, adjusting the subsidy policy for Xinjiang cotton target prices and putting a cap on the volume of cotton that qualifies for target price subsidies. The target price-setting period was changed from once a year to once every three years, and thus the cotton subsidy has become a WTO blue box measure.

While China still keeps the minimum purchase price policy for rice and wheat, it has steadily lowered the minimum price in recent years. At the same time, the Chinese government has stepped up the reform of fiscal payment subsidies and stressed the orientation toward green ecology. In May 2015, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture published Guiding Opinions for Adjusting and Improving the Three Types of Agricultural Subsidies Policies. 80% of agricultural inputs, plus direct subsidy and improved varieties subsidy, are used for farmland protection. The remaining 20% of agricultural inputs plus large-scale farmers’ direct subsidies and increments to the three subsidies are mainly used for establishing and improving the agricultural credit guarantee system.

三、美国政府的贸易保护主义行为

III. The trade protectionist practices of the US administration

美国存在大量扭曲市场竞争、阻碍公平贸易、割裂全球产业链的投资贸易限制政策和行为，有损以规则为基础的多边贸易体制，并严重影响中美经贸关系正常发展。

The numerous investment and trade restriction policies and actions adopted by the US that distort market competition, hamper fair trade, and lead to breakdowns in global industrial chains are detrimental to the rules-based multilateral trading system and severely affect the normal development of China-US economic and trade relations.

（一）歧视他国产品  微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

1. Discrimination against foreign products

美国大量监管政策违反公平竞争原则，歧视他国产品，具有明显的利己主义和保护主义倾向。美国通过立法直接或间接限制购买其他国家产品，使他国企业在美遭受不公平待遇，中国企业是其中的主要受害者。

Many American regulatory policies are clearly self-serving and protectionist as they run counter to the principle of fair competition and discriminate against foreign products. The US directly or indirectly restricts the purchase of products from other countries through legislation, subjecting foreign companies to unfair treatment in the US, with Chinese companies being the main victims.

美国产品市场的公平竞争环境不如多数发达国家，甚至逊于一些发展中国家。根据经合组织发布的2013年“产品市场监管指标”（注30）对35个经合组织国家进行排名，前3位是荷兰、英国和澳大利亚。美国只排在第27位，反映出美国市场监管政策对产品市场公平竞争存在较多障碍。而在加入12个非经合组织国家的指标后，美国在47个国家中仅列第30位，其产品市场公平竞争环境不及立陶宛、保加利亚和马耳他等非经合组织国家。

The US product market falls behind most developed countries and even some developing countries in terms of fair competition. According to the statistics on Indicators of Product Market Regulation released by the OECD in 2013, the Netherlands, the UK and Australia were the top three among 35 OECD countries, while the US ranked only 27th, pointing to the many obstacles created by the US market regulatory policies for fair competition in the product market. When the indicators of 12 non-OECD countries were added, the US ranked only 30th among the 47 countries, indicating a product market environment less fair than those of non-OECD countries such as Lithuania, Bulgaria and Malta.

美国对他国产品的歧视程度远高于大多数发达国家，甚至也高于一些发展中国家。根据“产品市场监管指标”二级指标“国外供应商差别待遇”（注31）对35个经合组织国家进行排名，2013年美国排在第32位，表明美国产品市场对外国存在严重歧视。若包括12个非经合组织国家的指标，美国在47个国家中排名第39位，歧视程度比巴西、保加利亚、塞浦路斯、印度、印度尼西亚和罗马尼亚等非经合组织国家更高（注32）（图7）。

The US is far more discriminatory against foreign products than most developed countries and even some developing countries. According to the ranking of 35 OECD countries on Differential Treatment of Foreign Suppliers , a secondary indicator of the Indicators of Product Market Regulation, the US ranked 32nd among 35 OECD countries in 2013, indicating severe discrimination against foreign countries in its product market. When the indicators of 12 non-OECD countries were added, the US ranked 39th among the 47 countries, with a higher degree of discrimination than such non-OECD countries as Brazil, Bulgaria, Cyprus, India, Indonesia and Romania (Chart 7).

美国通过立法严格要求政府部门采购本国产品，并对采购他国产品设置歧视性条款。例如，《购买美国产品法案》规定，美国联邦政府机构仅能采购在美国生产的加工最终产品以及在美国开采或生产的未加工品（注33）。《美国法典》规定，针对申请联邦政府或州政府资助的公共交通项目，必须使用美国国产的铁、钢和制成品（注34）。《农业、农村发展、食品和药品管理及相关机构拨款法案》规定，拨款资金不得为学校午餐、儿童成人关照食品、儿童夏日食品服务、学校早餐等项目购买从中国进口的生的或加工过的家禽产品。（注35）《国防授权法案》以国家安全为由，规定禁止联邦政府采购中国企业提供的通讯设备和服务（注36）。

The US, by way of legislation, sets strict requirements on its government departments to “buy American” and imposes discriminatory terms on purchasing foreign products. For example, the Buy American Act stipulates that US federal agencies can only acquire manufactured products made in America and unmanufactured articles that have been mined or produced in America. According to the Code of Laws of the United States of America, an application for a public transport project receiving federal or state funding can be granted only if the steel, iron and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the US. According to the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, none of the funds made available by this Act may be used to procure raw or processed poultry products imported into the US from China for use in the school lunch program, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, the Summer Food Service Program for Children or the school breakfast program. The National Defense Authorization Act prohibits the federal government from procuring telecommunications equipment and services provided by Chinese companies on the grounds of national security.

（二）滥用“国家安全审查”，阻碍中国企业在美正常投资活动

2. Abuse of “National Security Review” as a way to obstruct the normal investment activities of Chinese companies in the US

美国是全球范围内最早对外国投资实施安全审查的国家。1975年，美国专门成立外国投资委员会，负责监测外国投资对美国的影响。1988年，美国通过《埃克森－弗洛里奥修正案》，对《1950年国防生产法》进行了修正，授权美国总统及其指派者对外资并购进行审查。《2007年外商投资与国家安全法案》扩充了外国投资委员会（注37），扩大其安全审查范围。从半个多世纪的立法过程看，美国对外国投资实施安全审查的主线就是收紧法规政策，扩大监管队伍和审查范围，近期特别针对中国强化了审查和限制。

The US is the first in the world to conduct security reviews on foreign investment. In 1975, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) was established for the specific purpose of monitoring the impact of foreign investment in the US. In 1988, the Exon-Florio Amendment revised the 1950 Defense Production Act by mandating the US President and people with the authority to review foreign takeovers. The Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 expanded CFIUS and broadened its scope of review. The legislation process in the US over the past 50 years shows that the US security review of foreign investment has mainly been characterized by tighter laws, regulations and policies, expanded regulatory teams and scope of reviews, and more recently, intensified screening and restrictions vis-à-vis China.

在外商投资安全审查实践中，美国“国家安全审查”的依据模糊不清，审查力度不断加大。根据美国外国投资委员会的历年外资安全审查报告（注38），2005－2008年审查外国投资交易案例468起，其中需要进入调查阶段的案例37起，占比仅8%。但自2008年美国财政部发布《外国人合并、收购和接管规制：最终规则》（注39）以后，2009－2015年期间审查的770起案例中，需要进入调查阶段的达到310起，占比陡然提高到40%。尤其是在最新披露的2015年数据中，这一比例进一步提高到46%，处于较高水平（图8）。

In practice, the US “national security review” is often based on flimsy evidence and is becoming increasingly stringent. According to CFIUS annual reports to Congress, the Committee reviewed 468 foreign investment transactions from 2005 to 2008, only 37 of which (8 percent) entered the stage of investigation. However, since the Department of the Treasury issued the Regulations Pertaining to Mergers, Acquisitions, and Takeovers by Foreign Persons in 2008, among the 770 cases reviewed between 2009 and 2015, 310 cases – 40 percent of the total – passed on to the stage of investigation, which represents a noticeably sharp rise. In particular, the latest data released in 2015 shows this percentage climbing to an even higher level of 46 percent (Chart 8).

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

中国企业是美国滥用国家安全审查的主要受害者之一。美国外国投资委员会成立以来，美国总统根据该委员会建议否决的4起投资交易均系针对中国企业或其关联企业。2013－2015年，美国外国投资委员会共审查39个经济体的387起交易，被审查的中国企业投资交易共74起，占19%，连续三年位居被审查数量国别榜首。从近年来美国否决和阻止中国企业投资的数据来看（表4和表5），美国外国投资委员会对华投资审查范围已从半导体、金融行业扩大至猪饲养等食品加工业。加上其审查程序不透明、自由裁量权极大、否决原因披露不详等因素，以“危害国家安全”为由阻碍正常交易的情况更为严重。

Chinese companies are one of the main targets of the US abuse of national security reviews. Since the establishment of CFIUS, US Presidents vetoed four transactions based on the Committee’s recommendation, all targeting Chinese firms or their related businesses. From 2013 to 2015, CFIUS reviewed in total 387 transactions concerning 39 economies, among which 74 were transactions involving investment from Chinese companies, accounting for 19 percent of the total, the largest share among all countries for three years in a row. The data on Chinese corporate investment being vetoed and blocked by the US (Table 4 and Table 5) shows that CFIUS review of Chinese investment has extended its reach from semiconductors and financial sectors to food processing sectors including swine feed. In addition to an absence of transparency in the review process, excessive discretionary power, and lack of explanations for vetoes, there is an even more serious issue – that normal transactions are being obstructed on the grounds of national security.

美国新立法进一步加强外资安全审查。2018年8月13日，美国总统签署了《2019财年国防授权法案》，作为其组成部分的《外国投资风险审查现代化法案》赋予了外国投资委员会更大审查权，包括扩大受管辖交易范围、扩充人员编制、引入“特别关注国”概念、增加考虑审查因素等，投资审查收紧趋势明显。其中，特别要求美国商务部在2026年前每两年提交一份关于中国企业在美投资情况的分析报告（注40）。

The United States is preparing new legislation for more stringent foreign investment security review. On August 13, 2018, the President signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, part of which is the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA), which strengthens the authority of CFIUS, expands the scope of transactions covered, recruits additional staff, establishes the term of “countries of special concern”, and adds additional factors to be considered in reviews. All of this points to a clear trend of tighter investment reviews. In particular, it requests the Department of Commerce to submit a biennial analysis on Chinese investments in the US before 2026. .

（三）提供大量补贴，扭曲市场竞争

3. Large subsidies that distort market competition

美国联邦和地方政府对部分产业和企业提供大量补贴、救助和优惠贷款，这些补贴行为在很大程度上阻碍了市场的公平竞争。根据美国补贴监控组织“好工作优先”统计，2000－2015年间，美国联邦政府以拨款、税收抵免等方式至少向企业补贴了680亿美元，其中582家大公司获得的补贴占总额的67%（注41）。同一时期，美国联邦机构向私人部门提供了数千亿美元的贷款、贷款担保和救助援助。享受美国政府补贴的行业十分广泛，在列入统计的49个行业中，汽车、航空航天和军工、电气和电子设备、油气、金融服务、化工、金属、零售、信息技术等均在前列（注42）。美国州和地方政府也给予了企业大量补贴。由于州政府在补贴方面基本不受联邦政府的管辖，其补贴方式及金额透明度低，具有较大隐蔽性，实际补贴额远高于其披露数额。

US governments at federal and sub-national levels provide large subsidies, bailout assistance, and concessional loans to some sectors and companies. Such actions obstruct, to a large extent, fair market competition. According to Good Jobs First, an American organization that tracks subsidies, between 2000 and 2015, the federal government provided at least US$68 billion in grants and special tax credits to businesses, with 582 large companies receiving 67 percent of the total. During the same period, federal agencies gave the private sector hundreds of billions of dollars in loans, loan guarantees, and bailout assistance. A wide range of sectors received government subsidies. Motor vehicles, aerospace and military contracting, electrical and electronic equipment, oil and gas, financial services, chemicals, metals, and retailing and information technologies ranked among the top of the 49 tracked sectors. State and local governments also gave enormous subsidies to companies. The amounts of subsidies at the state level are basically not subject to federal jurisdiction, hence the difficulty in assessing their specific scale and nature. Actual amounts of the state-level subsidies are much higher than the disclosed figures.

在航空领域，美国波音公司2000年以来获得联邦和州（地方）政府的定向补贴金额145亿美元；2011年以来获得来自各级政府的贷款、债券融资、风险投资、贷款担保、救助等737亿美元（注43）（专栏5）。

In the aviation sector, Boeing has received US$14.5 billion of allocated subsidies from the federal and state/local governments since 2000 and US$73.7 billion of loans, bond financing, venture capital, loan guarantees and bailout assistance from governments at various levels since 2011 (Box 5).

Box 5 EU Challenge to US Civil Aircraft SubsidyIn 2004 and 2005, the EU twice requested consultations with the United States concerning subsidies provided to Boeing. In 2006, the WTO established the DS353 panel. In March 2012, the WTO Appellate Body report affirmed the value of prohibited and/or actionable subsidies granted by NASA, the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce and other federal departments, and the States of Washington, Kansas and Illinois to Boeing over a long period, in the form of research and development assistance by the federal government and tax credits by governments at other levels, to be at least US$5.3 billion, and called upon the United States to revise its subsidy policy in compliance with WTO agreements. The United States expressed its intention to implement the rulings over a six-month period. In November 2013, the State of Washington revised its local tax legislation and announced an extension of the tax credit policy for domestic aviation companies to keep Boeing assembly lines in the State. The EU made several accusations about the US non-compliance.

On June 9, 2017, the WTO issued a report which ruled that the State of Washington was still providing prohibited subsidies to Boeing. The report confirmed significant lost sales of the A320neo and A320ceo families in the large civil aircraft market and a threat of impedance of exports of A320ceo to markets in the United States and the United Arab Emirates due to the State of Washington’s tax reduction policy for Boeing. The policy violated the US commitment to compliance with the rulings in 2012.

在汽车行业，美国联邦和州政府均有对汽车的扶持政策，并向大型汽车企业提供巨额救助和变相补贴。国际金融危机期间，美国政府在“不良资产援助计划”下设立“汽车产业资助计划”（AIFP），为大型汽车企业提供了近800亿美元的资金救助（注44）。2007年，美国能源部依据《2007年能源独立和安全法案》第136条款制定了“先进技术汽车制造贷款项目”，美国国会对该项目的授权贷款总额达到250亿美元（注45）。特斯拉公司自2000年以来得到美国联邦和州（地方）政府超过35亿美元的补贴（注46）。

In the automotive industry, the US government at both federal and state levels supports the auto industry with preferential policies and provides key auto companies with large bailouts and disguised subsidies. During the global financial crisis, the US government, with its Automotive Industry Financing Program (AIFP) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TAPR), provided key auto companies with nearly US$80 billion of assistance. In 2007, the US Department of Energy, citing Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, introduced the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program (ATVM), with authorization from the US Congress, to provide up to US$25 billion in loans. Since 2000, Tesla has received more than US$3.5 billion in subsidies from US federal and state/local governments.

在计算机和半导体制造领域，美国事实上早就在执行由政府引导的产业政策。上世纪80年代，美国政府对美国半导体制造技术战略联盟拨款10亿美元，以创造具有“超前竞争性”的技术，保持美国技术领先地位，避免过度依赖外国供应商。苹果公司研发的几乎所有产品，包括鼠标、显示器、操作系统、触摸屏等，都得到了美国政府部门的支持，甚至有些直接萌芽于政府实验室。

In the field of computer and semiconductor manufacturing, the US has long adopted government-led industrial policies. The US government allocated US$1 billion in the 1980s to SEMATECH to support cutting-edge research, with a view to maintaining America’s leading position in this area and preventing over-reliance on foreign suppliers. Apple’s research and development on nearly all of its products, including the mouse, the display, the operating system, and the touch screen, received support from US government departments, with some of them created directly in labs run by the government.

在军工领域，美国对军工企业提供了包括税收优惠、贷款担保、采购承诺等不同形式的支持，对濒临破产的大型军工企业提供临时性政府贷款、企业重组基金、破产保护、过渡基金和债务减免等优惠政策。《2014年美国国防生产法案》规定，“总统可授权担保机构向私营机构提供贷款担保，以资助该担保机构认定的，对建立、维护、扩大、保护或恢复国防所需生产或服务至关重要的任何军工承包商、分包商、关键基础设施或其他国防生产供应商等”。2016年，全球最大的军工企业洛克希德·马丁公司获得康涅狄格州2亿美元资金支持。

In the military-defense industry, the US has supported related enterprises with preferential taxes, loan guarantees, procurement commitments, etc. Large military-defense enterprises on the brink of bankruptcy have been offered special government loans, restructuring funds, bankruptcy protection, transitional funds, debt relief and other preferential policies. As provided in the 2014 Defense Production Act, “The President may authorize a guaranteeing agency to provide guarantees of loans by private institutions for the purpose of financing any contractor, subcontractor, provider of critical infrastructure, or other person in support of production capabilities or supplies that are deemed by the guaranteeing agency to be necessary to create, maintain, expedite, expand, protect, or restore production and deliveries or services essential to the national defense”. In 2016, Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest military-defense company, obtained US$200 million from the State of Connecticut.

在农业领域，美国长期对农业实施高额财政补贴政策，世界上绝大多数农业补贴政策均起源于美国。根据乌拉圭回合谈判的结果，美国可在191亿美元的补贴上限内对各单项产品提供“黄箱”补贴。凭借雄厚的财力和充裕的补贴空间，美国对其大量出口的农产品提供了高额补贴。这些补贴影响了世界农产品的公平竞争，多次遭到相关国家挑战，巴西与美国之间历时12年之久的陆地棉补贴案就是典型代表。2014年，美国对农业补贴政策作出重大调整，以“价格损失保障计划”和“农业风险保障计划”替代原有的“反周期支付”等直接补贴计划，但仍与价格挂钩，“黄箱”补贴的性质并未变化，而支持水平却持续增加。美国农业部前首席经济学家约瑟夫·格劳勃等指出，这两种保障计划设定的参考价格均高于过去的目标价格，实际是提高了补贴支持水平（注47）。美国国会研究局的测算表明，两项保障计划2015年和2016年支出分别为101亿美元和109亿美元，而且2016－2017年度支持水平超出了2014年新法案出台前的水平（注48）。其中，对各单项产品支持的总金额接近150亿美元，为近10年的最高水平（注49）。此外，美国还通过各类信用担保计划促进农产品出口，并通过各类非紧急粮食援助计划将大量过剩农产品转移到国外，导致了严重的商业替代，对受援国当地农产品市场造成严重干扰，侵害了其他农产品出口国的利益。

In agriculture, high subsidies have long been a policy of the US, the birthplace of the majority of agriculture subsidies in the world. As a result of the WTO Uruguay Round negotiations, the US can give all individual items up to US$ 19.1 billion in amber box subsidies. With abundant financial resources and extensive room for subsidies, the US provides high subsidies for its huge agricultural exports. These subsidies undermine fair international competition and have been repeatedly challenged by other countries, a case in point being the 12-year-long dispute with Brazil over the upland cotton subsidy. In 2014, as part of a major adjustment to its agriculture subsidy policy, the US replaced direct subsidy programs, such as the Counter-cyclical Payment, with the Price Loss Coverage Program and the Agricultural Risk Coverage Program. Simply another form of amber box subsidy, these price-pegged subsidies resulted in a higher level of support. Joseph Glauber, the former chief economist of the US Department of Agriculture, pointed out that these two coverage programs, with reference prices set higher than the target prices of the past, in fact raised the level of subsidy support. According to the Congressional Research Service, the two programs together cost US$10.1 billion in 2015 and US$10.9 billion in 2016. The 2016-2017 support level was higher than before the introduction of the act in 2014. A total of nearly US$15 billion was spent in support of individual items, the highest in nearly a decade. The US also boosted its agricultural exports through various forms of credit guarantee programs. On top of that, the US sent a large volume of the excess farm produce abroad as non-emergency food aid, which led to serious problems of commercial substitution, distorting local agricultural markets in the recipient countries, and undermining the interests of other agricultural exporting countries.

（四）使用大量非关税壁垒

4. Use of large-scale non-tariff barriers

世界贸易组织并不完全禁止对国内产业实行保护，但原则是削减非关税壁垒、提升政策措施透明度，使其对贸易的扭曲减少到最低限度。美国采用大量更具隐蔽性、歧视性和针对性的非关税壁垒，对国内特定市场施以严格保护，明显扭曲了贸易秩序和市场环境。

While the WTO does not completely prohibit countries from protecting their domestic industries, certain principles must be followed, including lower non-tariff barriers, greater transparency of policies and measures, and a minimal level of trade distortion. The US has put in place a large number of discriminatory non-tariff barriers that are more targeted yet disguised, in an effort to keep specific segments of the domestic market under strict protection. This approach constitutes a notable distortion of the trade order and market environment.

根据世界贸易组织统计，美国当前已通报的卫生和植物检疫以及技术性贸易壁垒措施分别有3004项和1574项，占全球的比重分别高达18%和6.6%（图9）。联合国贸发组织2018年6月29日的报告《对贸易监管数据的分析揭露新的重大发现》（注50）中提到，要把一棵树进口到美国，需满足54项卫生和植物检疫措施相关要求。这些措施严重影响了货物通关效率，增加了贸易成本。

According to the WTO, the US has reported 3,004 sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures and 1,574 technical barriers to trade (TBT) measures, accounting for 18 percent and 6.6 percent of the world’s total (Chart 9). As reported in the UNCTAD’s “Analysis of Trade Regulations Data Flags Important New Findings” on June 29, 2018, a tree has to meet 54 SPS requirements before it can be imported into the US. These technical barriers have significantly lowered customs clearance efficiency and raised trade costs.

（五）滥用贸易救济措施

5. The abuse of trade remedy measures

根据世界贸易组织规定，成员方在进口产品存在倾销、补贴或进口过快增长对国内产业造成损害的情况下，可以使用贸易救济措施，但有严格限定条件。美国大量使用贸易救济措施对本国产业实施保护，其中相当大一部分针对中国。

While the WTO allows the use of trade remedy measures when a member economy finds damage caused to its domestic industries by dumping, subsidy or excessive growth in imports, strict limits and conditions do apply. However, the US has resorted to a huge number of trade remedy measures to protect its domestic industries. Many of these measures target China.

美国贸易保护主义措施增多，在全球占比不断提高。全球贸易预警（Global Trade Alert）统计数据显示，2017年，全球共有837项新的保护主义干预措施，其中美国出台143项措施，占全球总数的17.1%。2018年1－7月底，美国出台的保护主义措施占全球比重达到33%（图10）。

The US is adopting a growing number of trade protectionist measures, whose share of the world’s total is also rising. According to Global Trade Alert, among the 837 new protectionist measures adopted in 2017 worldwide, 143 (or 17.1 percent) were from the US. From January to the end of July in 2018, the US accounted for 33 percent of all protectionist measures in the world (Chart 10).

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

美国国际贸易委员会的统计数据显示，截至2018年7月17日，美国仍在生效的反倾销和反补贴措施共有44项（图11），其中58%是2008年金融危机以来新采取的“双反”措施，主要针对中国、欧盟和日本。

According to the United States International Trade Commission, by July 17, 2018 there were 44 anti-dumping and countervailing measures in effect in the US (Chart 11), among which 58 percent were adopted after the 2008 financial crisis, with China, the EU and Japan as the main targets.

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

在反倾销调查中，美国拒不履行《中国加入世贸组织议定书》第15条约定的义务，继续依据其国内法，对中国适用“替代国”做法。根据美国国会问责局的测算，被认定为市场经济的国家所适用的反倾销税率明显低于非市场经济国家。一般来说，美国对中国的反倾销税平均税率是98%，而对市场经济国家的平均税率为37%（注51）。2018年以来，美国作出18项涉及中国产品的裁决，其中14项税率都在100%以上。此外，美国在替代国的选择上也具有较大随意性（注52）。中国出口商在美国的倾销调查中受到严重不公正和歧视性对待。

In anti-dumping investigations, the US has refused to honor its obligation under Article 15 of China’s WTO Accession Protocol and continued to use the surrogate-country approach, citing its domestic law. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) of the US Congress calculated that the rates of anti-dumping duties applied to countries recognized as market economies are notably lower than those applied to non-market economies (NMEs). The average anti-dumping duty imposed by the US on China is 98 percent, while that on market economies is 37 percent. Among the 18 US rulings concerning Chinese products since the start of 2018, 14 had rates of more than 100 percent. Moreover, the US picks surrogate countries rather randomly, making the results of anti-dumping investigations highly unfair and discriminatory for Chinese exporters.

四、美国政府的贸易霸凌主义行为

IV. The trade bullyism practices of the US administration

美国作为二战结束后国际经济秩序和多边贸易体制的主要建立者和参与者，本应带头遵守多边贸易规则，在世界贸易组织框架下通过争端解决机制妥善处理与其他成员国之间的贸易摩擦，这也是美国政府曾经向国际社会作出的明确承诺。但是，美国新政府上任以来，片面强调“美国优先”，奉行单边主义和经济霸权主义，背弃国际承诺，四面出击挑起国际贸易摩擦，不仅损害了中国和其他国家利益，更损害了美国自身国际形象，动摇了全球多边贸易体制根基，最终必将损害美国长远利益。

As the key builder of the international economic order and a major participant in the multilateral trading regime after the Second World War, the US should have taken the lead in observing multilateral trade rules and properly handling trade frictions with other WTO members through the dispute settlement system within the WTO framework. This is what the US government explicitly pledged to the international community. However, since taking office, with a narrow focus on “America First”, the new US administration has practiced unilateralism and economic hegemony, abandoned its international commitments, and provoked international trade friction around the world. This has not only undermined the interests of China and other countries, but also jeopardized the international reputation of the US itself. And above all, it has shaken the foundations of the global multilateral trading regime, which will ultimately hurt the long-term interests of the US.

（一）根据美国国内法单方面挑起贸易摩擦

1. Unilaterally provoking trade friction on the pretext of US domestic law

美国现任政府以产业损害和保护知识产权为由，绕开世界贸易组织争端解决机制，单纯根据美国国内法挑起国际贸易摩擦，以“232条款”、“201条款”和“301条款”名义发起一系列调查。在调查中选择性使用证据材料，得出武断结论，而且未经世界贸易组织授权，非法使用惩罚性高关税对待世界贸易组织成员，严重违反世界贸易组织最基本、最核心的最惠国待遇、关税约束等规则和纪律。这种单边主义行为，不仅损害了中国和其他成员利益，更损害了世界贸易组织及其争端解决机制的权威性，使多边贸易体制和国际贸易秩序面临空前险境。

Citing industrial injuries and protection of intellectual property rights, the current US administration regularly circumvents the WTO’s dispute settlement system and provokes international trade friction merely using US domestic law as a pretext, initiating a host of investigations under the auspices of Section 232, Section 201 and Section 301. These investigations involve selective use of evidence and arbitrary conclusions. Without WTO authorization, the US has illegally imposed punitive, hefty tariffs on other WTO members, which is a serious breach of the most fundamental and central WTO rules and disciplines, including the most-favored-nation treatment and tariff binding. Such unilateralist actions have harmed the interests of China and other WTO members. More importantly, they have undermined the authority of the WTO and its dispute settlement system, and exposed the multilateral trading system and international trade order to unprecedented risks.

对多国产品开展“232调查”。美国政府滥用“国家安全”概念推行贸易保护措施。2017年4月，美国政府依据本国《1962年贸易扩展法》第232条款，以所谓“国家安全”为由对包括中国在内的全球主要经济体的钢铁和铝产品发起“232调查”（注53），并依据单方面调查结果，于2018年3月宣布对进口钢铁和铝分别加征25%和10%的关税，招致各方普遍反对和报复。2018年4月5日，中国率先将美国钢铝232措施诉诸世界贸易组织。美国宣布自6月1日恢复对欧盟钢铝产品加征关税后，欧盟也予以反击并向世界贸易组织申诉，指责美国的措施违反世界贸易组织规则。欧盟贸易专员马姆斯特罗姆称，美国正在进行“危险游戏”，欧盟如不作回应将等同于接受这些非法关税。截至2018年8月，已有9个世界贸易组织成员向世界贸易组织起诉美国钢铝232措施。2018年7月，美国政府又以所谓“国家安全”为由，对进口汽车及零配件发起新的“232调查”。

The US administration has conducted Section 232 investigations against the products of multiple countries, abusing the concept of “national security” for trade protectionism. In April 2017, on the basis of Section 232 of its Trade Expansion Act of 1962, the US administration initiated Section 232 investigations against the steel and aluminum products of China and other major economies, citing “national security” reasons. In March 2018, based on the conclusions of these unilateral investigations, the US announced 25 percent tariffs on steel and 10 percent on aluminum imports, incurring widespread opposition and retaliation. On April 5, 2018, China took the lead to bring the case of US Section 232 measures against steel and aluminum to the WTO. Following the US announcement on the resumption of tariffs against EU steel and aluminum products effective from June 1, the EU struck back and appealed to the WTO, charging the US with violation of WTO rules. European Commissioner for Trade Cecilia Malmström said that the US was playing “a dangerous game”, and the EU would be accepting these illegal tariffs if it did not respond. By August 2018, nine WTO members have litigated at the WTO over the Section 232 measures on steel and aluminum. In July 2018, the US administration initiated another round of Section 232 investigations on imported automobiles and auto parts, again on the grounds of “national security”.

众所周知，钢、铁等属于一般性生产资料，汽车属大众消费品，与“国家安全”建立联系非常牵强。美国彼得森国际经济研究所高级研究员查德·鲍恩认为，美国汽车产能利用率超过了80%，美国约98%的乘用车进口来自欧盟、日本、加拿大、韩国和墨西哥，以汽车危及美国国家安全为由开展调查是站不住脚的（注54）。美国政府随意扩大国家安全概念范围，毫无理论和历史依据，其实质是利用相关法条赋予总统行政权力，绕过常规法律限制实施贸易保护（专栏6）。

It is self-evident that steel and iron are basic raw materials for manufacturing, and automobiles are ordinary consumer goods. It is absurd to link them to “national security”. Chad Bown, senior fellow of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, noted that the capacity utilization rate of the US automobile industry was over 80 percent and about 98 percent of US passenger vehicle imports were from the EU, Japan, Canada, the ROK and Mexico. Therefore, initiating the investigations on the ground that automobile imports impair US national security is baseless. The US administration’s arbitrary expansion of the scope of national security has no theoretical or historical logic. Essentially, it is all about using the executive power of the US President provided for by the relevant sections of certain law to circumvent regular legal restrictions to practice trade protectionism (Box 6).

Box 6 Unilateral actions by the United States have triggered condemnation and countermeasures from multiple countriesIn March 2018, pursuant to its Section 232 investigation report, the US administration announced 25 percent tariffs on imports of steel products and 10 percent on aluminum products. On April 2, 2018, in response to the loss caused by the US Section 232 measures, China decided to suspend tariff concessions and impose tariffs on some imports originating in the US. From May 18 to 21, five WTO members – the EU, India, Russia, Japan and Turkey – notified the Council for Trade in Goods and Committee on Safeguards of the WTO about their plans to retaliate in kind on the US measures on steel and aluminum. From June 5 to July 1, Mexico, the EU, Turkey and Canada retaliated against the US Section 232 measures.

On April 5, 2018, China took the lead to initiate a WTO dispute procedure against the US Section 232 measures on steel and aluminum. From May 18 to August 15, India, the EU, Canada, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Switzerland and Turkey initiated dispute procedures over the US Section 232 measures on steel and aluminum under the dispute settlement system of the WTO.

对多国产品开展“201调查”。2017年5月，美国依据本国《1974年贸易法》，对进口洗衣机和光伏产品发起“201调查”（注55），并在2018年1月决定对前者征收为期3年、税率最高达50%的关税，对后者征收为期4年、税率最高达30%的关税。这是2001年以来美国首次发起“201调查”。作为美国进口洗衣机的主要来源，韩国已于5月向世界贸易组织提起磋商请求，并宣布将中止对美国部分产品的关税减让措施，以回应美国对韩国产品征税的做法。2018年8月14日，中国将美国光伏产品201措施诉诸世界贸易组织争端解决机制。

The US has conducted Section 201 investigations against products of multiple countries. In May 2017, on the basis of its Trade Act of 1974, the US initiated Section 201 investigations on imported washing machines and photovoltaic products. In January 2018, it decided to impose a maximum of 50 percent tariffs for three years on washing machines and a maximum of 30 percent tariffs for four years on photovoltaic products. These were the first Section 201 investigations initiated by the US since 2001. As a major source of washing machines imports to the US, the ROK submitted a request for consultations to the WTO in May and announced that it would suspend tariff concessions on some US products as a response to the US imposition of tariffs on its products. On August 14, 2018, China resorted to the WTO dispute settlement system over the Section 201 measures on photovoltaic products.

对中国开展“301调查”。2017年8月，美国依据本国《1974年贸易法》，对中国发起“301调查”（注56），并在2018年7月和8月分两批对从中国进口的500亿美元商品加征25%关税，此后还不断升级关税措施，2018年9月24日起，又对2000亿中国输美产品征收10%的关税。“301调查”是基于美国国内法相关条款开展的贸易调查，衡量并要求其他国家接受美国的知识产权标准和市场准入要求，否则就采取报复性的贸易制裁手段，早在上世纪90年代就被称为“激进的单边主义”。

The US has initiated Section 301 investigation against China. In August 2017, the US initiated a Section 301 investigation against China based on its Trade Act of 1974. A 25 percent tariff was imposed on US$50 billion worth of goods from China in July and August 2018, followed by a continuation of escalating tariff measures. Another tariff of 10 percent on a further US$200 billion worth of China’s exports to the US was imposed from September 24, 2018. A Section 301 investigation is a trade investigation based on relevant provisions of US domestic law. It requests other countries to accept the intellectual property standards and market access requirements of the US, or face retaliatory trade sanctions. Such practice was described as “aggressive unilateralism” as early as in the 1990s.

从历史数据看，“301调查”使用频率较低且多通过磋商协议解决。根据彼得森国际经济研究所2018年3月发布的研究报告（注57），1974年至今，美国共进行122起“301调查”，但自2001年起，只有一起“301调查”被正式启动。美国政府曾于1994年做出一项“行政行动声明”，表示要按照符合世界贸易组织规则的方式来执行“301条款”，即美国只有在获得世界贸易组织争端解决机制授权后才能实施“301条款”所规定的制裁措施。1998年，当时的欧共体向世界贸易组织提出关于“301条款”的争端解决案。世界贸易组织争端解决

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

机构认为，单从其法律规定上看，可以初步认定“301条款”不符合世界贸易组织规定。在本次中美经贸摩擦中，美国政府动用“301条款”对中国开展调查，在未经世界贸易组织授权的情况下对中国产品大规模加征关税，明显违反美国政府的上述承诺，其行为是完全非法的。

Historical data show that it is very rare for a Section 301 investigation to be initiated – most cases are settled through consultation. According to a report from the Peterson Institute for International Economics released in March 2018, from 1974 to the present, the US government has conducted 122 such Section 301 investigations, but there has been only one new Section 301 investigation since 2001. In 1994, the US government issued a “Statement of Administrative Action”, stating that the Administration intends to use Section 301 under the WTO rules, and that it would only impose sanctions under Section 301 with authorization from the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). In 1998, the European Communities filed a case to the WTO DSB against Section 301, and the Panel came to a preliminary finding that in respect of the statutory language, Section 301 is inconsistent with WTO rules. The US government has initiated a Section 301 investigation in the course of its current trade frictions with China, and imposed huge tariffs on Chinese goods in the absence of WTO authorization. These actions have clearly violated its afore-mentioned commitments, and are completely illegal.

（二）片面指责他国实施产业政策

2. Baseless accusations against other countries’ industrial policies

产业政策是一种弥补市场失灵、改善社会福利的有效工具，只要符合世界贸易组织确定的规则，不应受到无端指责。

As an effective tool to remedy market failures and improve social welfare, industrial policies should not be subject to groundless accusations as long as they are consistent with WTO rules.

美国是世界上较早运用产业政策的国家之一。尽管美国很少承认实行产业政策，但事实上美国政府实施了比官方说法多得多的产业政策（注58）。这些产业政策的范畴从推进技术创新到政府采购、对特定部门和企业的补贴，以及关税保护、贸易协定等，为增强美国产业竞争力发挥了重要作用。

The US was among the first to adopt industrial policies. The US rarely acknowledges the adoption of such policies, but its government has in fact undertaken many more industrial policies than the official narrative allows. Ranging from technological innovation incentives and government procurement, through subsidies on specific sectors and companies, to tariff protection and trade agreements, these industrial policies have played a vital role in enhancing the competitive strength of US industries.

美国为强化制造业在全球的领导者地位，近年来研究制定了一大批产业政策。进入新世纪后，特别是国际金融危机爆发后的近十年来，美国出台了一系列产业政策，其中包括《重振美国制造业框架》（注59）（2009）、《美国制造业促进法案》（注60）（2010）、《先进制造业伙伴计划》（注61）（2011）、《美国制造业复兴——促进增长的4大目标》（注62）（2011）、《先进制造业国家战略计划》（注63）（2012）、《美国创新战略》（注64）（2011）、《美国制造业创新网络：初步设计》（注65）（2013）等等，针对重点领域研究制定了《电网现代化计划》（2011）、《美国清洁能源制造计划》（注66）（2013）、《从互联网到机器人——美国机器人路线图》（注67）（2013）、《金属增材制造（3D打印）技术标准路线图》（注68）（2013）、《美国人工智能研究与发展战略计划》（注69）（2016）、《美国机器智能国家战略》（注70）（2018）等。这些政策提出要调整优化政府投资，加大对制造业投资的力度；加强政府对商品的采购；为出口企业提供信贷支持，拓展国际市场；资助制造业重点领域创新等具体措施。

To strengthen its global leadership in manufacturing, the US has in recent years formulated a large number of industrial policies. In the 21st century, and in particular over the decade since the outbreak of the international financial crisis, the US has introduced a number of industrial policies including A Framework for Revitalizing American Manufacturing (2009), the United States Manufacturing Enhancement Act of 2010, the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (2011), A Manufacturing Renaissance: Four Goals for Economic Growth (2011), A National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing (2012), A Strategy for American Innovation (2011) and the National Network of Manufacturing Innovation: A Preliminary Design (2013). Such plans are also made for key areas such as the Grid Modernization Initiative (2011), the Clean Energy Manufacturing Initiative (2013), A Roadmap for U.S. Robotics – From Internet to Robotics (2013), the Measurement Science Roadmap for Metal-Based Additive Manufacturing (2013), the National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan (2016) and A National Machine Intelligence Strategy for the United States (2018). These policies include, among others, specific measures to adjust and improve government investment to scale up input in manufacturing, to increase government procurement of certain products, to provide credit support to export companies to expand global market, and to fund innovation in key areas of manufacturing.

美国在制定推行产业政策的同时，却对他国正常的产业政策横加责难。联合国贸易和发展会议发布的《世界投资报告2018》指出，为应对新工业革命的机遇与挑战，在过去十年中，发达国家和发展中国家至少有101个经济体（占全球GDP的90%以上）出台了正式的产业发展战略。《中国制造2025》也是在这样的背景下，借鉴了美国的《先进制造业国家战略计划》、《美国创新战略》等政策文件，结合中国实际制定出台的。《中国制造2025》是一个引导性、愿景性的文件，也是一个坚持市场主导、开放包容的发展规划。中国政府一直强调《中国制造2025》是一个开放的体系，对内资外资具有普遍适用性。中国领导人在多个场合表示，欢迎外国企业参与《中国制造2025》。2017年发布的《国务院关于扩大对外开放积极利用外资若干措施的通知》明确提出，外商投资企业和内资企业同等适用于《中国制造2025》政策。文件制定过程中，中国严格遵循世界贸易组织规定，确保相关政策合规透明、公平无歧视。《中国制造2025》实施以来，包括美国企业在内的许多外国企业均已参与到相关的建设项目中来。 微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

While formulating and promoting its own industrial policies, the US has made unwarranted accusations against other countries’ justified industrial policies. The UNCTAD World Investment Report 2018 pointed out that responding to the opportunities and challenges associated with a new industrial revolution, at least 101 economies across the developed and developing world (accounting for more than 90 percent of global GDP) have adopted formal industrial development strategies over the past 10 years. It was against this backdrop, inspired by US policy papers such as A National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing and A Strategy for American Innovation, and based on its own national conditions, that China formulated its Made in China 2025 program. Made in China 2025 is an introductory paper describing a vision, and a market-centered, open and inclusive blueprint for development. The Chinese government has maintained that Made in China 2025 is an open system that is applicable to both domestic and foreign investment. Chinese leaders have stated on several occasions that China welcomes foreign companies to participate in Made in China 2025. China’s State Council released a notice in 2017 on measures to expand opening up and actively utilize foreign investment, which made clear that Made in China 2025 policies apply equally to foreign-invested companies and Chinese companies. The paper was formulated in strict accordance with WTO rules to ensure the relevant policies are legitimate, transparent, fair and non-discriminatory in nature. Many foreign enterprises, including US companies, have participated in programs under Made in China 2025 since its implementation.

（三）以国内法“长臂管辖”制裁他国

3. “Long-arm jurisdiction” and sanctions against other countries based on US domestic laws

“长臂管辖”是指依托国内法规的触角延伸到境外，管辖境外实体的做法。近年来，美国不断扩充“长臂管辖”的范围，涵盖了民事侵权、金融投资、反垄断、出口管制、网络安全等众多领域，并在国际事务中动辄要求其他国家的实体或个人必须服从美国国内法，否则随时可能遭到美国的民事、刑事、贸易等制裁。微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

“Long-arm jurisdiction” refers to the practice of extending one’s tentacles beyond one’s borders and exercising jurisdiction over foreign entities based on one’s domestic laws. In recent years, the US has been extending its “long-arm jurisdiction” to wider areas including civil torts, financial investment, anti-monopoly, export control and cybersecurity. In international affairs, the US has frequently requested entities or individuals of other countries to obey US domestic laws, otherwise they may face US civil, criminal or trade sanctions at any time.

以出口管制为例，美国为巩固技术领先优势，很早就构建起一揽子出口管制制度。主要依据《出口管理法》、《出口管制条例》、《国际紧急经济权力法》，要求美国出口商或用户出口时必须申请许可证。对于国外购买方而言，则要求不得违反商品最终用途、最终用户等限制性规定，否则将受到处罚，包括被列入“实体清单”，严格限制或禁止从美国进口。统计显示，截至2018年8月1日，全球范围内被列入美国商务部“实体清单”的主体数量达到1013家。这种行为不仅损害了包括美国公司在内的相关企业利益，还损害了广大发展中国家发展权利。

Take export control as an example. To consolidate its technological advantages, the US has long established an all-round export control system. Through the Export Control Act, the Export Administration Regulations and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, US exporters or exporting users must apply for export licenses. Foreign buyers are required not to violate restrictive regulations such as those on end-use and end-users, otherwise they will be subject to penalties, including being put in the Entity List which will place them under strict restrictions, or even prohibit them from importing from the US. Statistics show that by August 1, 2018, as many as 1,013 entities from around the world have been put on the Entity List of the US Department of Commerce. This action has undermined not only the interests of companies concerned – including those from the US – but also the development rights of developing countries.

美国还在抓紧审查修订现行出口管制法规，强化“长臂管辖”行为。2018年8月13日，美国总统签署了《2019财年国防授权法案》，作为其重要组成部分的《出口管制改革法案》提高了对外国控股公司的限制条件，增加了对“新兴和基础技术”的出口控制，建立了跨部门协商机制以提高执法能力。近期，美国商务部产业和安全局以“违反美国国家安全或外交政策利益”为由，将44个中国机构新列入出口管制名单。这种行为给中国企业参与相关贸易制造了障碍，实质是对“长臂管辖”强化和升级。

The US is also vigorously reviewing and revising its export control legislation to strengthen its “long-arm jurisdiction”. On August 13, 2018, the US President signed the National Defense Authorization Act 2019, an important part of which is the Export Control Reform Act (ECRA). The ECRA further tightened restrictions on foreign-holding companies, intensified controls on “emerging and basic technologies”, and mandated an inter-agency process to boost law enforcement capabilities. Recently, the Bureau of Industry and Security of the US Department of Commerce added 44 Chinese entities to its Entity List for “acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States”. Such measures create obstacles for Chinese businesses to conduct normal trade and are in fact an extension and upgrading of “long-arm jurisdiction”.

（四）将国内问题国际化、经贸问题政治化微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

4. Internationalizing domestic issues and politicizing economic and trade issues

现任美国政府基于国内政治需要，将国内问题国际化、经贸问题政治化，通过指责他国转嫁国内矛盾。

The current US administration, in response to domestic political issues, is choosing to internationalize domestic issues and politicize economic and trade issues, and blaming other countries for its own problems.

美国将国内政策失误和制度缺陷导致的失业问题错误归因于国际贸易。美国政府认为他国通过不公平贸易的方式抢夺了本国就业岗位，作为美国贸易逆差最大来源国，中国首当其冲成为主要的被指责对象。事实是，根据联合国数据，2001－2017年，中美贸易额增长了4.4倍，但美国失业率则从5.7%下降到4.1%。尤其是2009年以来，美国从中国进口快速增长，同期美国失业率反而呈现出持续下降的态势，美国政府指责的货物进口和失业率之间的替代关系并不存在（图12）。2017年美国国会研究中心报告显示，2010－2015年，尽管美国制造业从中国进口整体增加32.4%，美国制造业的工作机会反而增加了6.8%（注71）。

It has erroneously attributed unemployment caused by domestic policy and institutional flaws to international trade. The US administration has accused other countries of “stealing US jobs through unfair trade”. China, as the biggest source of the US trade deficit, is a convenient primary target. However, statistics from the United Nations show that between 2001 and 2017, China-US trade expanded by a factor of 4.4, and yet unemployment in the US dropped from 5.7 percent to 4.1 percent. In particular, while US imports from China surged from 2009 onward, unemployment in the US saw a steady decline during the same period. The causal relationship between imports of goods and job losses, as claimed by the US administration, does not exist (see Chart 12). A report from the US Congressional Research Service in 2017 reveals that between 2010 and 2015, the number of US manufacturing jobs rose by 6.8 percent even though US imports from China in that sector increased by 32.4 percent.

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

事实上，美国部分社会群体失业问题，主要是技术进步和经济结构调整背景下，国内经济政策失误和再分配、再就业机制缺失引起的。根据美国印第安纳州波尔州立大学的研究，2000－2010年期间，美国制造业工作机会减少560万个，88%是由于生产率提高导致的（注72）。在市场经济条件下，一切要素都在流动变化之中，没有永远不变的工作岗位。随着美国比较优势变化，不同行业就业情况出现差异，传统制造业等行业出现就业岗位减少，这本是经济发展和结构调整的正常现象。美国政府本应顺应经济结构调整大趋势，采取积极有效的再分配和再就业支持措施，帮助失业人员转移到新兴行业就业。但是，受制于传统的分配机制和利益格局，美国政府没有及时建立合理的再分配和再就业支持机制，导致部分社会群体的失业问题长期积累、积重难返，为政治上的民粹主义和孤立主义提供了土壤。

In fact, unemployment of some social groups in the US is caused by flaws in domestic economic policy and the absence of proper redistribution and reemployment mechanisms against the backdrop of technological advances and economic restructuring. A study by Ball State University in the State of Indiana finds out that almost 88 percent of the 5.6 million jobs lost in manufacturing in the US between 2000 and 2010 can be attributed to productivity growth. In a market economy where all production factors are in flux, no job lasts forever. The evolution of comparative advantages of the US has had different impacts on job creation in different industries. Decrease of jobs in some industries such as traditional manufacturing is a normal phenomenon in the course of economic development and structural adjustment. The US government should have adapted to the overall trend of economic structural adjustment, taking proactive and effective measures to improve redistribution and reemployment and to help the unemployed find jobs in emerging industries. However, constrained by its traditional distribution mechanism and vested interests, the US government has failed to establish appropriate redistribution and reemployment mechanisms in time. The result has been the build-up of long-standing unemployment among some social groups. This has provided the breeding ground for political populism and isolationism.

现任美国政府把失业问题归咎于国际贸易和出口国不符合事实，是在国内政治矛盾难以解决的情况下试图向外转嫁矛盾。美国如不真正解决自身的深层次结构性问题，而是通过贸易保护措施引导制造业回流，这种本末倒置、以邻为壑、逆经济规律而动的行为，只会降低全球经济效率，引发世界各国反对，损人而不利己。

The current US administration’s attempt to blame international trade and exporting countries for domestic unemployment is not supported by facts; it aims to deflect public attention in the face of intractable domestic political problems. Without truly resolving its own deep-seated structural problems, the US attempt to bring the manufacturing sector back home through protectionist measures is a completely counter-productive move. This beggar-thy-neighbor and lose-lose approach runs counter to economic rules and will only make the world economy less efficient and trigger opposition from countries around the globe. The US will do as much damage to itself as it will to others.

（五）现任美国政府背信弃义

5. The current US administration is violating its own commitments

规则意识和契约精神是市场经济和现代国际秩序的基础。遵守规则、尊重契约使得不同个人、群体和国家可以形成广泛合作，是人类进入文明社会的主要特征。现任美国政府不顾各国公认、普遍遵循的国际交往准则，采取了一系列背信弃义的做法，对国际关系采取机会主义态度，引发国际社会广泛质疑和批评。美国这些急功近利的短视做法，损害了美国的国际信誉，将动摇美国国际地位和战略利益。

Respect for rules and contract has been the foundation of the market economy and the international order since the advent of modern times. It makes cooperation between different individuals, groups and countries possible, which is a defining feature of civilized human society. The current US administration has turned its back on universally-recognized and widely-observed norms governing international relations, and made a series of moves in violation of its own commitments. The opportunism of the US toward international relations has been widely challenged and criticized by the international community. The short-sighted actions of the US in pursuit of short-term interests harm its international credibility, and will undermine its international standing and prejudice its strategic interests.

美国政府藐视国际协定的权威性，扰乱全球治理秩序。以国家名义做出的承诺和签署的协定不受政府换届干扰，保持一贯性，是一国保持国际信誉的基础。现任美国政府夸大多边体制问题和国家之间的分歧，不愿承担维护国际秩序成本，对国际规则约束进行选择性遵守，接连退出联合国教科文组织、人权理事会等多个国际组织，退出了上届美国政府力推达成的跨太平洋伙伴关系协定和巴黎气候协定，强制要求重谈北美自由贸易协定和美韩自贸协定。

The US administration shows no respect for the sanctity of international agreements and disrupts global governance order. A country should uphold the commitments and agreements it has entered into regardless of government succession. This is essential for a country’s credibility. Exaggerating problems in the multilateral system and differences between countries, the current US administration, unwilling to bear the cost of upholding the international order, has taken a selective approach to international rules. It has withdrawn from international organizations such as UNESCO and the UNHRC, pulled out from the TPP and the Paris Agreement that the previous US administration worked so hard to conclude, and is demanding renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and US-Korea Free Trade Agreement.

以联合国、世界银行、国际货币基金组织和关贸总协定为起点，经过不断完善，形成了今天的全球政治经济治理体系。世界贸易组织是当前重要的多边经贸机制，在国际经贸合作中发挥着关键作用，在世界上受到普遍尊重和认同，目前成员已超过160个。但是，美国经常违反世界贸易组织规则，1995－2015年期间，因美国未执行世界贸易组织争端解决机制裁定而被胜诉方提出暂停申请、中止对美国关税减让义务的案件数量占到世界贸易组织同类案件总数量的2/3（注73）。

The global political and economic governance system has only become what it is through constant improvements, starting from the inception of the United Nations (UN), the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The WTO is an important multilateral trading regime with a total of over 160 members. It is essential to global trade cooperation, and is widely respected and recognized in the world. However, the US frequently violates WTO rules. The number of cases where members requested a suspension of the application of tariff concessions, or suspended tariff concession obligations to the US due to the latter’s failure to comply with the rulings of the DSB, accounted for two thirds of all such cases between 1995 and 2015.

这一系列行为，是对国际契约的违背，是对经贸伙伴的不尊重，更是对美国国家信誉的损害。世界经济论坛发布的《2018年全球风险报告》指出，美国对多边主义秩序造成的侵害，以及美国阻挠世界贸易组织上诉机构新法官任命，将加剧2018年的全球风险。

These actions of the US violate international contracts and disrespect its trading partners, and what is more, undermine its credibility as a country. The “Global Risks Report 2018” released by the World Economic Forum pointed out that global risks will intensify in 2018, as the US erodes multilateralism and blocks appointments to the WTO’s appellate body.

美国政府破坏市场机制，直接干预商业行为。现任美国政府屡屡突破政府边界，对市场主体实施直接干预。例如，不顾商业规律，要求苹果公司等美国企业海外工厂回迁。此外，美国政府还对美国企业对外投资进行恐吓阻挠。例如，2017年1月3日，警告通用汽车，如果它继续在墨西哥制造雪佛兰科鲁兹型号汽车的话，将需要支付大额关税（注74）；2018年7月3日，威胁哈雷公司不得将生产业务转移出美国（注75）；通过社交媒体点名批评威胁企业高管，以各种借口加强对正常并购交易的审查等。

The US administration has undermined the market mechanism through direct intervention in business operations. The current US administration has time and again overstepped its purview to directly meddle with market players. For instance, it has demanded that Apple and some other American companies move their overseas factories back to the US, regardless of market rules. The administration has also intimidated and obstructed American companies making investments abroad. For instance, on January 3, 2017, General Motors was threatened with a heavy border tax for continuing to make Chevrolet Cruze models in Mexico. On July 3, 2018, Harley-Davidson was warned not to move part of its operation out of the US. Executives of American companies have been named and shamed on social media, as the administration tightens supervision over normal merger deals under various pretexts.

美国政府在双边经贸谈判中出尔反尔，不守承诺。中国历来高度重视维护中美关系稳定，特别是2017年以来，积极回应美国经贸关切，以极大的诚意和耐心与美国政府开展了多轮磋商，力图弥合分歧、解决问题。2018年2月下旬到3月上旬，应美国方面强烈要求，中国派团赴美举行经贸谈判。4月3日，美国公布对500亿美元中国输美产品加征25%关税的产品清单。面对美国反复无常、不断抬高要价的行为，中国本着最大限度通过对话解决问题的诚意，于5月初与来华谈判的美国代表进行了认真磋商。5月15日至19日，中国应美国要求再次派代表团赴美谈判，并在谈判中对美国诉求做了积极回应。双方在付出艰辛努力后，达成“双方不打贸易战”的共识，并于5月19日对外发表了联合声明。但是，仅仅10天之后，美国政府就公然撕毁双方刚刚达成的联合声明，背弃不打贸易战的承诺，越过世界贸易组织争端解决机制，宣布将对来自中国的产品实施大规模征税措施，单方面挑起贸易战（专栏7）。

The US administration has repeatedly backtracked and reneged on its commitments in bilateral trade negotiations. China sets great store by a stable China-US relationship. It has actively responded to the trade concerns of the US, especially since 2017. Multiple rounds of talks have been conducted with the US administration with utmost sincerity and patience, in an effort to narrow differences and solve problems. In response to a strong request from the US, China sent a delegation to the US for trade talks between late February and early March 2018. Yet on April 3, the US announced a 25 percent tariff on a list of Chinese exports worth US$50 billion. Despite this repeated backtracking and in the face of rising demands from the US, China has demonstrated complete sincerity in seeking a negotiated solution, and sat down for earnest consultations with a visiting US delegation in early May. At the US request, China sent another delegation to the US which actively responded to the US concerns in negotiations between 15 and 19 of May. Thanks to the strenuous efforts of both sides, a consensus was reached “not to fight a trade war”, and a joint statement was released on May 19. However, only 10 days later, the US administration tore up the freshly inked joint statement and broke its promise not to engage in a trade war. It bypassed the dispute settlement system of the WTO to announce massive tariffs on Chinese exports, thus unilaterally starting a new phase of conflict (Box 7).

Box 7 The US Tore up the Joint Statement Regarding Trade Consultations Reached with China on May 19, 2018On May 19, 2018, China and the United States issued a joint statement regarding trade consultations in Washington D.C.

“There was a consensus on taking effective measures to substantially reduce the US’s trade deficit in goods with China. To meet the growing consumption needs of the Chinese people and the need for high-quality economic development, China will significantly increase purchases of US goods and services. This will help support growth and employment in the United States.

Both sides agreed on meaningful increases in US agriculture and energy exports. The United States will send a team to China to work out the details. The delegations also discussed expanding trade in manufactured goods and services. There was consensus on the need to create favorable conditions to increase trade in these areas. Both sides attached paramount importance to intellectual property protection, and agreed to strengthen cooperation. China will advance relevant amendments to its laws and regulations in this area, including the Patent Law. Both sides agreed to encourage two-way investment and to strive to create a fair, level playing field for competition. Both sides agreed to continue to engage at high levels on these issues and to seek to resolve their economic and trade concerns in a proactive manner.”

Yet only 10 days later on May 29, the White House released a statement about imposing tariffs on US$50 billion of imports from China, implementing specific restrictions on Chinese investment in the US, and tightening export controls on China. This is a blatant violation of the consensus the two sides reached on May 19.

五、美国政府不当做法对世界经济发展的危害

V. Damage of the improper practices of the US administration to global economy

美国政府采取的一系列极端贸易保护措施，破坏了国际经济秩序，伤害了包括中美经贸交往在内的全球经贸关系，冲击了全球价值链和国际分工体系，干扰了市场预期，引发国际金融和大宗商品市场剧烈震荡，成为全球经济复苏的最大不确定因素和风险源。

The US government has taken extreme trade protectionist measures, which have undermined the international economic order, caused damage to China-US trade and trade relations around the world, disrupted the global value chain and the international division of labor, upset market expectations, and led to violent swings in the international financial and commodity markets. It has become the greatest source of uncertainty and risk for the recovery of the global economy.

（一）破坏多边贸易规则和国际经济秩序

1. Such measures undermine the multilateral trade rules and the international economic order

在走向文明的历史进程中，人类社会已普遍接受一套基于规则和信用的国际治理体系。各国无论大小强弱，均应相互尊重、平等对话，以契约精神共同维护国际规则，这对于促进全球贸易投资、促进全球经济增长具有基础性作用。然而，美国政府近期采取了一系列违背甚至破坏现行多边贸易规则的不当做法，严重损害了现行国际经济秩序。美国政府多次在公开场合抨击世界贸易组织规则及其运行机制，拒绝支持多边贸易体制，消极参与全球经济治理，造成2017年和2018年亚太经合组织贸易部长会议均未在支持多边贸易体制问题上达成一致立场。特别是美国政府不同意将“反对贸易保护主义”写入部长声明，遭到亚太经合组织其他成员一致反对。美国猛烈抨击世界贸易组织上诉机构，还数次阻挠上诉机构启动甄选程序，导致世界贸易组织上诉机构人员不足，争端解决机制濒临瘫痪。

In the advance toward civilization, humanity has widely accepted an international governance system based on rules and credibility. Countries, big or small, strong or weak, should respect each other, engage in equal-footed dialogue and jointly safeguard international rules in the spirit of contract. This is fundamental to promoting global trade and investment and boosting global growth. However, the recent steps taken by the US administration that are contrary and even destructive to the existing multilateral trade rules seriously undermine the current international economic order. The US administration has issued open criticisms of the rules and operation mechanism of the WTO on various occasions. It has refused to endorse the multilateral trading system, and at the same time has adopted a negative attitude toward global economic governance, which caused the failure of the APEC Trade Ministers Meetings, in both 2017 and 2018, to reach consensus on supporting the multilateral trading system. In particular, the US administration’s objection to writing “opposition to trade protectionism” into the ministers’ statement was met with opposition from every other APEC member. The US lashed out at the WTO appellate body and repeatedly blocked the appointment procedures of the body, resulting in an understaffed appellate body and pushing the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism to the brink of paralysis.

（二）阻碍国际贸易和全球经济复苏

2. Such measures obstruct world trade and the recovery of the global economy

随着全球化进程发展，各国经济基于经贸关系的相互关联度越来越高，贸易已成为全球经济增长的重要动力。根据世界银行统计，全球经济对贸易增长的依存度已从1960年的17.5%上升到2017年的51.9%（图13）。

As globalization moves forward, the economies of the world are increasingly connected through trade. Trade has become a major engine for global growth. According to the World Bank, the international economy’s dependence on trade rose from 17.5 percent in 1960 to 51.9 percent in 2017 (Chart 13).

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

当前，全球经济刚刚走出国际金融危机的阴影，回升态势并不稳固。美国政府大范围挑起贸易摩擦，阻碍国际贸易，势必会对世界经济复苏造成负面影响。为了遏制美国的贸易保护主义行为，其他国家不得不采取反制措施，这将导致全球经贸秩序紊乱，阻碍全球经济复苏，殃及世界各国企业和居民，使全球经济落入“衰退陷阱”（表6）。

The global economy has just emerged from the shadow of the 2008 global financial crisis and the recovery is yet to be solidly-based. In this context, the US administration’s actions to instigate large-scale trade frictions and impede the flow of world trade will undoubtedly affect the recovery of the global economy. In order to mitigate the protectionist moves of the US, countries are left with no choice but to take countermeasures. This will disrupt the world economic and trade order, and hold back global recovery, damaging the interests of companies and people of all countries and pushing the global economy back into recession (Table 6).

世界银行2018年6月5日发布的《全球经济展望》报告指出，全球关税广泛上升将会给全球贸易带来重大负面影响，至2020年全球贸易额下降可达9%，对新兴市场和发展中经济体的影响尤为明显，特别是那些与美国贸易或金融市场关联度较高的经济体（图14）。世界贸易组织总干事罗伯特·阿泽维多表示，若关税回到关税总协定/世界贸易组织之前的水平，全球经济将立即收缩2.5%，全球贸易量削减60%以上，影响将超过2008年国际金融危机。贸易战对所有人都有害，特别是穷人将损失63%的购买力（注76）。历史教训一再表明，贸易战没有赢家，甚至会给世界和平和发展带来严重影响（专栏8）。微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

According to “Global Economic Prospects” published by the World Bank on June 5, 2018, a broad-based increase in tariffs worldwide would have major adverse consequences, which could translate into a decline in global trade amounting to 9 percent by 2020. The impact would be more severe on emerging markets and developing economies, particularly on those with large trade or financial market linkages with the US (Chart 14). According to WTO Director-General Roberto Azevedo, if tariffs return to the pre-GATT/WTO level, the global economy would contract by 2.5 percent instantly and more than 60 percent of global trade would disappear, creating an impact more serious than that of the 2008 global financial crisis. A trade war is detrimental to all, and particularly to the poor, who could lose 63 percent of their purchasing power. History has proven time and again that trade wars produce no winners and can severely affect world peace and development (Box 8).

Box 8: Lessons of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930In 1930, in the name of protecting the domestic market, President Hoover of the United States signed into law the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which raised tariffs on more than 20,000 imported items and increased the average tariff rate on dutiable imports to nearly 60 percent. The measure stoked much controversy and outcry both inside and outside the country. Domestically, 1028 economists signed a petition expressing their opposition. Internationally, the Act drew fierce criticism from more than 30 countries and many took immediate retaliatory measures. As a result, US imports saw a steep drop by 67 percent from US$4.4 billion in 1929 to US$1.45 billion in 1933, and an even worse plunge of 68 percent in its exports from US$5.16 billion to US$1.65 billion. Both exceeded the 50 percent fall of the US GDP in the same period. Meanwhile, global tariff rates soared, further aggravating the global economic crisis, which became the breeding ground for Hitler’s Nazi rule in Germany and expansionist militarism in Japan. Such lessons from history should never be forgotten, and past tragedies should never be repeated.

（三）冲击全球价值链

3. Impact on the global value chain

当前，全球经济已经深度一体化，各国充分发挥各自在技术、劳动力、资本等方面的比较优势，在全球经济中分工合作，形成运转高效的全球价值链，共同分享价值链创造的经济全球化红利。尤其是以跨国公司为代表的各国企业通过在全球范围内配置资源，最大限度降低了生产成本，提高了产品和服务质量，实现了企业之间、企业与消费者之间的共赢。

In a deeply integrated global economy, countries form a highly efficient global value chain and share in the dividends of economic globalization through division of labor by harnessing their respective strengths in technology, labor and capital. Companies, especially multinational ones, minimize their production costs and raise the quality of their products and services through global allocation of resources, thus achieving a win-win result for themselves and for consumers.

美国政府通过加征关税、高筑贸易壁垒等手段在世界范围内挑起贸易摩擦，以贴“卖国标签”、威胁加税等方式要求美资跨国公司回流美国，将严重破坏甚至割裂全球价值链，冲击全球范围内正常的产品贸易和资源配置，并通过各国经贸的相互关联，产生广泛的负面溢出效应，降低全球经济的运行效率。比如，汽车、电子、飞机等行业都依靠复杂而庞大的产业链支撑，日本、欧盟、韩国等供应链上的经济体都将受到贸易收缩的负面影响，并产生一连串的链式反应，即使美国国内的供应商也会在劫难逃。根据中国商务部测算，美国对华第一批340亿美元征税产品清单中，约有200多亿美元产品（占比约59%）是美、欧、日、韩等在华企业生产的。包括美国企业在内，全球产业链上的各国企业都将为美国政府的关税措施付出代价。

By raising tariffs and erecting trade barriers, the US administration has provoked trade frictions worldwide. US multinationals are being threatened with “traitor” labels and punitive taxes if they do not move their operations back to the US. Such moves will seriously undermine or even break the global value chain, and jeopardize the normal flows of trade and resource allocation across the world. And because of the interconnections between countries through trade and economic links, they will also produce extensive spillovers, and reduce the efficiency of the global economy. For example, sectors such as automobiles, electronics and aircraft are all supported by complex, massive industrial chains. Economies on the supply chain, including Japan, the EU and the ROK, would all be adversely affected by contracting trade. Even US suppliers would not be immune from the subsequent ripple effect. According to the estimates of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, of the US$34 billion of Chinese products targeted by the first round of US tariff increases, over US$20 billion – nearly 59 percent of the value – are goods produced by companies from the US, the EU, Japan, the ROK and other economies operating in China. Ultimately, companies from all countries on the global industrial chain – including those from the US – would have to pay the price for tariff measures introduced by the US administration.

国际货币基金组织2018年4月17日发布的《世界经济展望》报告指出，关税和非关税贸易壁垒的增加将破坏全球价值链，减缓新技术的扩散，导致全球生产率和投资下降。彼得森国际经济研究所认为，若美国对中国施加贸易制裁并导致中国反制，许多向中国出口中间产品和原材料的国家与地区也将遭受严重冲击（注77）。

The “World Economic Outlook” report released by the IMF on April 17, 2018 noted that raising tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers will disrupt the global value chain, slow down the spread of new technologies, and lead to a drop in global productivity and investment. The Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) argued that if the US imposes trade sanctions on China that prompt countermeasures, many countries and regions that export intermediate inputs and raw materials to China will also take a heavy hit.

（四）贸易保护主义最终损害美国自身利益

4. Trade protectionism will ultimately hurt US interests

在经济全球化的时代，各国经济你中有我、我中有你，特别是大型经济体存在紧密的相互联系。美国政府单方面挑起贸易战，不仅会对世界各国经济产生冲击，也会损害美国自身利益。

Thanks to economic globalization, economies, particularly the larger ones, are highly interdependent. Ultimately, trade wars unilaterally initiated by the US administration will not only hurt other economies but also undermine US interests.

提高美国制造业成本，影响美国就业。彼得森国际经济研究所发布报告指出，95%被加征关税的中国商品是零配件与电子组件，它们被组装在“美国制造”的最终产品中，提高相关产品关税将损害美国企业自身（注78）。《纽约时报》称，中国生产的发动机及其他零部件对美造船企业至关重要，暂时无法找到替代品，造船企业利润空间基本不可能消化25%的关税成本，提高自身产品价格将失去市场份额（注79）。通用电气公司预测，美国对自中国进口商品加征关税将导致其成本上升3亿－4亿美元。通用汽车、福特及菲亚特－克莱斯勒等汽车制造商纷纷下调了全年利润预测（注80）。美国最大的铁钉制造商中洲公司表示，对进口钢铁加征关税致使其成本提升，产品价格被迫上涨，销售额预计将下降50%，公司经营面临较大冲击。今年6月，该公司已解雇了500名工人中的60名，并计划再解雇200名工人。中洲公司的困境还扩散到其下游的包装环节——与其合作的SEMO包装公司，由于业务缩减，已经开始裁员（注81）。彼得森国际经济研究所的评估指出，美国对进口汽车加征关税将导致美国减少19.5万个就业岗位，若受到其他国家报复性措施，就业岗位可能减少62.4万个（注82）。微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

It will push up manufacturing costs and affect American jobs. A PIIE report contends that since 95 percent of the Chinese products hit by higher tariffs are parts and electronic components used in end products made in the US, raising tariffs on these Chinese products will only damage US businesses. According to the New York Times, electric motors and other components from China are vital to the US boating industry, and it is not easy for importers to find substitutes. Their profit margins are too thin to absorb the cost of 25 percent tariffs, and raising prices would cost them market share. General Electric estimates that new tariffs on imports from China could raise its overall costs by US$300-400 million. General Motors, Ford Motor and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles have lowered their full-year profit forecasts due to escalating tariffs. Mid-Continent, the largest nail manufacturer in the US, said its sales would plummet by 50 percent after it raised prices to cope with its elevated steel costs, and that it laid off 60 of its 500 workers in June and planned to downsize by another 200. Mid-Continent’s problems have already spread downstream. For example, Semo Packaging has started to shed its workforce as a result of fewer orders from Mid-Continent and similar customers. PIIE also projected that raising tariffs on imported automobiles would cause 195,000 US workers to lose their jobs. If other countries retaliate in kind, 624,000 US jobs would be lost.

导致美国国内物价上升，消费者福利受损。美国自中国进口产品中，消费品一直占很高比重。根据美国商务部经济分析局统计，2017年消费品（不包括食品和汽车）占中国对美出口的比重为46.6%。长期进口中国物美价廉的消费品是美国通胀率保持低位的重要因素之一。美国设备制造商协会在敦促美国政府不要实施损害经济的关税措施时指出，关税是对美国消费者的税收。美国国家纳税人联盟在2018年5月3日写给国会与总统的公开信中警告称，保护性关税将导致美国消费品价格上涨，伤害多数美国公民利益（注83）。美国汽车制造商联盟在6月提交给政府的一份文件称，其对2017年汽车销售数据的分析显示，对进口汽车征收25%的关税将导致平均价格上涨5800美元，这将使美国消费者每年的消费成本增加近450亿美元（注84）。

It will drive up prices in the US and harm consumers. Consumer goods account for a considerable share in the US imports from China. The figure (excluding food and automobiles) stood at 46.6 percent in 2017, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the US Department of Commerce. For many years, the import of inexpensive yet quality products from China has been key to low inflation in the US. The US Association of Equipment Manufacturers has urged the administration not to levy economy-damaging tariffs, as they will only boomerang and increase the tax burden on US consumers. The US National Taxpayers Union warned in an open letter to Congress and President Trump on May 3, 2018 that higher protective duties would increase the prices which domestic consumers would have to pay and few people could hope to gain from such a change. The US Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers concluded in a June report to the government that based on its analysis of 2017 automobile sales figures, a 25 percent tariff on imported automobiles would drive up the average price by US$5,800, thus increasing the cost for US consumers by nearly US$45 billion every year.

引发贸易伙伴反制措施，反过来损害美国经济。美国政府向包括中国在内的很多重要贸易伙伴发动贸易战，已引发各贸易伙伴的反制措施，势必使美国一些地区、产业、企业承担大量损失。截至2018年7月底，包括中国、加拿大、墨西哥、俄罗斯、欧盟、土耳其在内的美国主要贸易伙伴均已宣布对其贸易保护主义措施实施反制，并相继通过世界贸易组织提起诉讼。例如，加拿大政府6月29日宣布，将从7月1日起，对价值约126亿美元从美国进口的商品加征关税。7月6日，俄罗斯经济部宣布将对部分美国商品加征25%－40%的关税。欧盟针对美国钢铝关税采取反制措施，将美国进口摩托车关税从6%提高至31%。

It triggers countermeasures from trading partners and will in turn hurt the US economy. The trade war waged by the US administration against China and many other important trading partners has led to countermeasures, and will cause huge losses to some regions, industries and firms in the US. As of the end of July 2018, major US trading partners including China, Canada, Mexico, Russia, the EU and Turkey had all announced countermeasures against US trade protectionism, and had filed lawsuits at the WTO. For example, the Canadian government announced on June 29 a tariff increase on US$12.6 billion of US goods, effective from July 1. The Russian Economy Ministry announced a 25 percent to 40 percent tariff hike on some US products on July 6. As a countermeasure to American duties on European steel and aluminum, the EU raised tariffs on US-made motorcycles from 6 percent to 31 percent.

美国商会指出，贸易战将导致美国相关州利益受损，得克萨斯州39亿美元的出口产品、南卡罗来纳州30亿美元的出口产品以及田纳西州14亿美元的出口产品或受到报复性关税打击（注85）。美国消费者选择研究中心称，美国政府实际上在用关税“惩罚”其选民，依赖出口的北卡罗来纳州超过15万个工作岗位、南卡罗来纳州6500名工人将受到报复性关税的直接影响（注86）。美国知名摩托车制造企业哈雷公司评估，欧盟的报复性关税措施将导致每辆销往欧洲的摩托车成本增加2200美元，会在2018年内给公司造成3000万至4500万美元的损失。为应对这一不利局面，哈雷公司已表示计划将部分摩托车制造产能转移出美国（注87）。

The US Chamber of Commerce has pointed out that a trade war will hit some American states. For example, Texas could see US$3.9 billion worth of exports targeted by retaliatory tariffs; South Carolina, US$3 billion and Tennessee, US$1.4 billion. The Consumer Choice Center stated that the US government is actually “punishing” American voters with the tariffs it introduced, as over 150,000 jobs in North Carolina and 6,500 workers in South Carolina, both being heavily export-dependent states, will be directly affected by the retaliatory duties. Harley-Davidson Inc., a famous American motorcycle maker, estimated that the EU’s retaliation will cost about US$2,200 per motorcycle shipped to Europe, forecasting US$30 million to US$45 million in costs linked to the EU tariffs for the remainder of 2018. As a response, the company is shifting the production of some bikes overseas.

影响投资者对美国经济环境的信心，导致外国直接投资净流入降低。不断升级的经贸摩擦使企业信心不稳，在投资上持观望态度。彼得森国际经济研究所所长亚当·波森指出，美国政府的“经济民族主义”政策不仅使美国在贸易领域付出了代价，在投资领域引发的消极后果也开始显现。近期，美国及外国跨国公司在美投资数量几乎为零，企业投资方向转变将影响美国的长期收入增长和高收入就业岗位，并使全球企业加速远离美国。根据美国商务部经济分析局数据，2016年和2017年第一季度，美国外国直接投资流入额分别为1465亿美元和897亿美元，而2018年同期已降至513亿美元。这一变化是美国对长期投资吸引力下降的结果（注88）。

It erodes investors’ confidence in the American economic environment and results in less net foreign direct investment (FDI) into the United States. As the trade friction escalates, companies feel less confident and more hesitant about investment. Adam S. Posen, President of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, argued that beyond the cost of the trade war, the US government’s policy of “economic nationalism” has taken a toll in another important sphere: net inward investment into the US by multinational corporations – both foreign and American – has fallen almost to zero. This shift of corporate investment away from the US will decrease long-term US income growth, reduce the number of well-paid jobs available, and accelerate the shift of global commerce away from the US. Data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the US Department of Commerce show that in the first quarters of 2016 and 2017, the total net FDI inflow was US$146.5 billion and US$89.7 billion. For the same quarter in 2018, the figure was down to US$51.3 billion. This is a result of a general decline in the US attractiveness as a place to make long-term business commitments.

六、中国的立场   微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

VI. China’s position

经济全球化是大势所趋，和平与发展是民心所向。把困扰世界的问题、影响本国发展的矛盾简单归咎于经济全球化，搞贸易和投资保护主义，企图让世界经济退回到孤立的旧时代，不符合历史潮流。中美经贸关系事关两国人民福祉，也关乎世界和平、繁荣、稳定。对中美两国来说，合作是唯一正确的选择，共赢才能通向更好的未来。中国的立场是明确的、一贯的、坚定的。

Economic globalization is the trend of the times, and peace and development represent the shared aspiration of all peoples. It therefore runs counter to the historical trend when one simply blames economic globalization for the problems in today’s world and one’s domestic development, and attempts to bring the global economy back to the old days of isolation by pursuing trade and investment protectionism. China-US economic and trade ties concern not only the well-being of the peoples of the two countries, but also world peace, prosperity and stability. Cooperation is the only correct option for China and the US, and only a win-win approach will lead to a better future. China’s position is clear, consistent and firm.

微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

（一）中国坚定维护国家尊严和核心利益

1. China is firmly committed to safeguarding its national dignity and core interests.

积极发展中美经贸合作、巩固中美关系是中国政府和人民的愿望。对于贸易战，中国不愿打、不怕打、必要时不得不打。我们有强大的经济韧性和广阔的市场空间，有勤劳智慧、众志成城的中国人民，有国际上一切反对保护主义、单边主义和霸权主义的国家支持，我们有信心、有决心、有能力应对各种风险挑战。任何外部因素都不可能阻止中国发展壮大。同时，中国将对受经贸摩擦影响较大的企业和行业给予必要帮助。

It is the hope of the government and people of China to promote business cooperation and develop stronger ties with the US. China does not want a trade war, but it is not afraid of one and will fight one if necessary. We have a highly resilient economy, an enormous market, and the hard-working, talented and united Chinese people. We also have the support of all countries in the world that reject protectionism, unilateralism and hegemony. We have the confidence, resolve and capability to meet all risks and challenges. No external factor will hold back China’s development. Meanwhile, the worst-affected Chinese companies and sectors will receive assistance as needed.

中国一贯主张，对中美两国经贸关系快速发展过程中出现的问题和争议，双方应秉持积极合作的态度，通过双边磋商或诉诸世界贸易组织争端解决机制，以双方都能接受的方式解决分歧。中国谈判的大门一直敞开，但谈判必须以相互尊重、相互平等和言而有信、言行一致为前提，不能在关税大棒的威胁下进行，不能以牺牲中国发展权为代价。我们相信，美国的成熟政治家最终能够回归理性，客观全面认识中美经贸关系，及时纠正不当行为，使中美经贸摩擦的处理回到正确轨道上来。微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

China maintains that problems and disputes arising from a fast growing China-US business relationship should be addressed with a positive and cooperative attitude, through bilateral consultation or the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, in a way acceptable to both sides. China has kept the door to negotiations open, but negotiations can only happen when there is mutual respect, equality good faith and credibility. Negotiations cannot be conducted under the threat of tariffs, or at the cost of China’s right to development. We believe that mature political leaders in the US will eventually come back to their senses, see China-US economic and trade relations in an objective and comprehensive light, and redress misguided behaviors in time so that the efforts to resolve the trade friction between the two countries will come back to the right track.

（二）中国坚定推进中美经贸关系健康发展

2. China is firmly committed to the sound development of China-US economic and trade relations.微博@高斋翻硕 公众号：高斋翻译学堂

美国和中国是世界前两大经济体。中美经贸摩擦事关全球经济稳定与繁荣，事关世界和平与发展，应该得到妥善解决。中美和则两利，斗则俱伤，双方保持经贸关系健康稳定发展，符合两国人民根本利益，符合世界人民共同利益，为国际社会所期待。中国愿同美国相向而行，本着相互尊重、合作共赢的精神，聚焦经贸合作，管控经贸分歧，积极构建平衡、包容、共赢的中美经贸新秩序，共同增进两国人民福祉。中国愿意在平等、互利前提下，与美国重启双边投资协定谈判，适时启动双边自贸协定谈判。

The US and China are the world’s top two economies. Trade friction between the two countries should be properly resolved as it bears on global economic stability and prosperity as well as world peace and development. For China and the US, cooperation can lead to mutual benefits while confrontation will do no good to anyone. The sound and steady development of China-US economic and trade relations is in the fundamental interests of the two peoples and the common interests of people across the globe, and is what the international community expects of us. China would like to work with the US in the same direction, act in a spirit of mutual respect and win-win cooperation, focus on economic and trade cooperation, properly manage economic and trade differences, and make vigorous efforts to foster a new China-US economic and trade order that is balanced, inclusive and mutually beneficial, so as to contribute to the well-being of the two peoples. Under the condition of equality and mutual benefit, China is willing to resume negotiations with the US on a bilateral investment treaty, and launch bilateral FTA negotiations when appropriate.

（三）中国坚定维护并推动改革完善多边贸易体制

3. China is firmly committed to the reform and improvement of the multilateral trading system.

以世界贸易组织为核心的多边贸易体制是国际贸易的基石，是全球贸易健康有序发展的支柱。中国坚定遵守和维护世界贸易组织规则，支持开放、透明、包容、非歧视的多边贸易体制，支持基于全球价值链和贸易增加值的全球贸易统计制度等改革。支持对世界贸易组织进行必要改革，坚决反对单边主义和保护主义。坚持走开放融通、互利共赢之路，构建开放型世界经济，加强二十国集团、亚太经合组织等多边框架内合作，推动贸易和投资自由化便利化，推动经济全球化朝着更加开放、包容、普惠、平衡、共赢的方向发展。

The multilateral trading system centered on the WTO is the cornerstone of international trade, and a pillar for the sound and orderly development of global trade.

（四）中国坚定保护产权和知识产权

4. China is firmly committed to protecting property rights and intellectual property rights (IPR).

中国高度重视知识产权保护，将其作为完善产权保护制度最重要的内容之一。中国将不断完善知识产权保护相关法律法规，提高知识产权审查质量和审查效率，针对故意侵权积极引入惩罚性赔偿制度，显著提高违法成本。中国依法严格保护外商企业合法知识产权，对于各种形式的侵权事件和案件将认真查处、严肃处理。中国法院不断完善符合知识产权案件特点的诉讼证据规则，建立实现知识产权价值的侵权损害赔偿制度，加强知识产权法院体系建设，积极推动国家层面知识产权案件上诉机制，保障司法裁判标准统一，加快推进知识产权审判体系和审判能力向现代化迈进。中国愿意与世界各国加强知识产权保护合作，也希望外国政府加强对中国知识产权的保护。中国主张通过法律手段解决知识产权纠纷问题，反对任何国家以保护知识产权之名，行贸易保护主义之实。

China attaches great importance to IPR protection and views it as one of the most important part of the efforts to improve the system for property rights protection. China will keep improving its laws and regulations on IPR protection, enhance the quality and efficiency of IPR reviews, and introduce the system of punitive damage compensation for intentional IPR infringements to significantly raise the cost of law violations. China protects the lawful IPR of foreign businesses in strict accordance with the law, and takes stern measures to address all types of IPR infringement cases. Chinese courts will keep improving the litigation evidence rules for IPR cases, establish a damage compensation system that reflects the value of IPR, strengthen the IPR court system, advance the building of a national-level appeal mechanism for IPR cases, ensure unified judicial criteria, and modernize the IPR adjudication system and capability at a faster pace. China will enhance its cooperation with all countries to protect IPR, and hopes that governments of other countries will also step up their efforts to protect Chinese IPR. China believes that IPR disputes should be resolved through legal means, and opposes trade protectionism pursued by any country in the name of IPR protection.

（六）中国坚定深化改革扩大开放

6. China is firmly committed to deepening reform and widening opening-up.

改革开放是中国的基本国策，也是推动中国发展的根本动力。中国改革的方向不会逆转，只会不断深化。中国开放的大门不会关闭，只会越开越大。中国继续按照既定部署和节奏，坚定不移深化改革、扩大开放，全面推进依法治国，建设社会主义法治国家。中国坚持发挥市场在资源配置中的决定性作用，更好发挥政府作用，鼓励竞争、反对垄断。中国和世界其他各国一样，有权根据自己的国情选择自己的发展道路包括经济模式。中国作为一个发展中国家，并非十全十美，愿意通过改革开放，学习借鉴先进经验，不断完善体制机制和政策。中国将切实办好自己的事情，坚定实施创新驱动发展战略，加快建设现代化经济体系，推动经济高质量发展。中国愿与世界各国分享中国发展新机遇。中国将实行高水平的贸易和投资自由化便利化政策，全面实行准入前国民待遇加负面清单管理制度，大幅放宽市场准入，扩大服务业对外开放，进一步降低关税，建设透明、高效、公平的市场环境，发展更高层次的开放型经济，创造更有吸引力的投资环境，与世界上一切追求进步的国家共同发展、共享繁荣。

Reform and opening-up are China’s basic policies, and provide fundamental driving force for its development. China will not reverse course, but only deepen its reform. China will not close its door to the world, but only open wider. Following the plans made and pace set, China will stay firmly committed to deepening reform and widening opening-up, advance the rule of law across the board, and build a socialist country under the rule of law. The market will play a decisive role in the allocation of resources and the government will play a better role to encourage competition and oppose monopoly. Like other countries, China has the right to choose its own development path, including the economic model, that suits its national reality. As a developing country, China is not perfect, but it is willing to draw on advanced experience and keep improving its systems, institutions and policies through reform and opening-up. China will manage its own affairs well, firmly implement an innovation-driven development strategy, accelerate the pace of modernizing its economy, and pursue economic development with higher quality. China is willing to share with other countries the new opportunities presented by its development. China will adopt policies to promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation with higher standards, implement the system of pre-establishment national treatment plus a negative list across the board, significantly ease market access, further open up the service sector, further cut tariffs, build a transparent, efficient and fair business environment, develop an open economy at a higher level, and create a more attractive investment environment. In this way, China will share development and prosperity with all countries that aspire to progress.

（八）中国坚定推动构建人类命运共同体

8. China is firmly committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

面对人类发展面临的一系列严峻挑战，世界各国特别是大国要肩负起引领和促进国际合作的责任，相互尊重、平等协商，坚决摒弃冷战思维和强权政治，不搞唯我独尊、你输我赢的零和游戏，不搞以邻为壑、恃强凌弱的强权霸道，妥善管控矛盾分歧，坚持以对话解决争端、以协商化解分歧，以文明交流超越文明隔阂、文明互鉴超越文明冲突、文明共存超越文明优越。中国将继续发挥负责任大国作用，与其他国家一道，共同建设持久和平、普遍安全、共同繁荣、开放包容、清洁美丽的世界。

Faced with a host of grave challenges to human progress, all countries, particularly major countries, need to shoulder the obligation and responsibility of guiding and promoting international cooperation. Countries should respect each other, engage in discussions as equals, and resolutely reject the Cold War mentality and power politics. Countries should not engage in a zero-sum game that puts one’s self-interest first and sees others’ gains as one’s losses, nor should they follow a hegemonic approach that advocates beggar-thy-neighbor policies and believes in the strong bullying the weak. Instead, countries should manage differences and tensions properly, settle disputes and disagreements through dialogue and consultation, and replace estrangement with exchange, clashes with mutual learning, and superiority with coexistence among civilizations. China will continue to act as a responsible major country, and join every other country in building an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security and common prosperity.

得道多助，失道寡助。面对不确定不稳定不安全因素增多的国际形势，中国不忘初心，始终与世界同行，顺大势、担正义、行正道，坚定不移维护多边贸易体制，坚定不移推动全球治理体系变革，始终做世界和平的建设者、全球发展的贡献者、国际秩序的维护者，坚定不移推动构建人类命运共同体。

“A just cause enjoys abundant support while an unjust one finds little support.” In a world of increasing uncertainty, instability and insecurity, China will remain true to its original aspiration, follow the trend of the times, shoulder its responsibility for justice, and pursue the greater good. It will unswervingly safeguard the multilateral trading system, press forward with the reform of global governance, promote world peace, contribute to global development, uphold international order, and build a community with a shared future for mankind.
