美媒:特朗普对华态度比他的第一个任期时要更加复杂
美国《Politico》在当地时间1月20日的时候写了一篇长文,标题为《特朗普的议程将重塑从移民到税收再到教育的一切》。
这篇文章由多位作者撰写,从移民、税收、关税和贸易政策、外交政策、堕胎和医疗保健、学生债务、种族和性别、气候以及住房等多个方面,分析了一波特朗普在新的任期内,可能会采取的政策方向。
值得一提的是,该文章在关税和贸易政策,以及外交政策中,都提到了中国。
比如在关税和贸易政策段落中,作者提到特朗普打算对中国征收10%的关税,目的是阻止芬太尼流入。并且,他也有可能撤销与中国的永久正常贸易关系。
He’s also threatened a 10 percent tariff on China to stop fentanyl shipments from that country,Other possible actions, like revoking permanent normal trade relations with China or imposing a carbon-border adjustment tax, would require congressional approval. Congress could also take up trade and tariff issues as part of legislation to renew Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, which expire next year. Trump has talked about using the import tax both as a way to raise revenue and to reduce the U.S. trade deficit.
他还威胁要对中国征收 10% 的关税,以阻止芬太尼从该国运输。
其他可能的行动,比如撤销与中国的永久正常贸易关系或征收碳边境调整税,都需要国会批准。国会还可以将贸易和关税问题作为立法的一部分,以延长特朗普 2017 年的减税政策,该政策将于明年到期。特朗普曾谈到利用进口税来增加收入和减少美国贸易逆差。
而在外交政策的段落,该作者声称特朗普与该团队对如何管理与中国的竞争讳莫如深。
Trump has elevated top allies and loyalists to prominent national security roles that would work on these two conflicts directly. But Trump and his team have been cagey about how exactly he will seek to end two of the world’s fiercest conflicts, navigate relations with a new Islamist government in Syria, counter Iran in the Middle East and manage competition with China.
特朗普已将顶级盟友和忠诚者提拔到重要的国家安全职位,直接负责处理这两场冲突(巴以冲突和俄乌冲突)。但特朗普和他的团队一直对如何结束世界上最激烈的两场冲突、如何处理与叙利亚新伊斯兰政府的关系、如何对抗中东的伊朗以及如何管理与中国的竞争讳莫如深。
该作者还提到,特朗普的对华政策也比第一任期时更加复杂。因为一旦与中国的关系紧张,他很有可能会无法达成一个重要目标,即降低美国消费品价格,从而缓解国内通胀。
Trump’s approach to China is also looking more complicated and global than it was during his first term. Tensions with Beijing could, after all, undermine one of the president’s key goals: lowering prices for consumer goods and easing inflation at home.
特朗普对华政策也比第一任期时更加复杂和全球化。毕竟,与北京的紧张关系可能会破坏总统的一个关键目标:降低消费品价格并缓解国内通胀。
该作者还表示,特朗普在第一个任期时专注于双边贸易,试图靠关税来减少美国对中国的经济依赖,并严惩“知识产权盗窃行为”。但在第二个任期时,特朗普政更关注中国在拉丁美洲和非洲日益增长的影响力。
并且,特朗普还希望管理“在中国后院组成的新联盟”(盲猜大概是菲律宾、韩国和日本?),来对抗中国在亚洲各地的“挑衅性军事行动”。并提到虽然特朗普一直批评台湾军队,但仍然愿意继续维持由拜登政府促成的许多伙伴关系。
Trump’s first administration focused on bilateral trade, implementing tariffs to reduce the United States’ economic reliance on Beijing and punishing intellectual property theft. Yet his recent comments about the country’s presence in Panama suggest that the second Trump administration will focus more directly on China’s rising influence in Latin America and Africa.
特朗普的第一届政府专注于双边贸易,实施关税以减少美国对北京的经济依赖,并惩罚知识产权盗窃行为。然而,他最近关于中国在巴拿马驻军的言论表明,特朗普的第二届政府将更直接关注中国在拉丁美洲和非洲日益增长的影响力。
He’ll also need to manage new alliances in China’s backyard to counter Beijing’s provocative military actions across Asia. While Trump has been critical of Taiwan’s military, he has voiced openness to continuing many of the partnerships brokered under the Biden administration.
他还需要管理中国后院的新联盟,以对抗北京在亚洲各地的挑衅性军事行动。尽管特朗普一直批评台湾的军队,但他表示愿意继续维持拜登政府促成的许多伙伴关系。
