特朗普政府抛弃了美国坚持多年的多边主义的贸易政策立场,转向双边主义,甚至单边主义。新政府打着自由贸易的旗号,指责对美贸易顺差国的贸易是不公平或者/和不对等的,并采取双边主义、单边主义的手段,迫使他国做出让步和改变,以便获取最大的利益。本质上,这是一种赤裸裸的“贸易霸权主义”。美国新贸易政策下的贸易,绝对不是自由贸易,最多是一种符合美国利益的、按照美国标准定义的“公平、对等的自由贸易”。在特朗普政府制定的相关政策下,中美经贸关系陷入前所未有的困难时期。
<<The Trump administration abandoned America’s long-standing multilateral trade policy stance and turned to bilateralism,even unilateralism. Under the banner of free trade,the new U.S. government accuses the trade surplus partners of the United States of being unfair and/or un-reciprocal,and applies bilateral and unilateral means to force other countries to make concessions and changes in order to obtain the greatest benefits. In essence,this is a naked trade hegemonism. The new trade policy of the United States is absolutely away from free trade,but serving the interests of the United States. Sino-US economic and trade relations have plunged into an unprecedented difficult period during the Trump administration.
