美官员称美中贸易进入新阶段 (US Official Says US-China Trade Entering New Phase)
美国一名高级贸易官员说，美中贸易关系正进入新阶段，在这个阶段中，中国应该担负起更多的责任，美国也应该加大执行力度。美国贸易代表办公室主管中国事务的最高官员夏尊恩说，他所在的办公室最近对美中贸易进行了全面审核。夏尊恩说，审核显示，中国并没有兑现加入世贸组织时做出的具体承诺。
他指出，中国在满足世贸组织的某些要求时取得了进展，但是他说，北京既没有全面执行市场准入以及非歧视性原则，也没有让本国的贸易体系具有可预见性和透明度。夏尊恩说，美国政府将根据美国司法体系以及世贸组织争端的解决进程争取使这些原则得到落实。
A senior U.S. trade official says U.S.-China trade relations are entering a new phase, which should include greater accountability on China's part and greater enforcement by the U.S. The U.S. Trade Representative Office's top China official, Timothy Stratford, says his office recently conducted a top-to-bottom review of U.S.-China trade. Stratford said the review showed China has not implemented specific commitments from its agreement to enter the World Trade Organization.
He noted China has made progress toward meeting some W.T.O. requirements. But, he says Beijing has not yet fully embraced the principles of market access and non-discrimination, nor has it made its trade regime predictable and transparent. Stratford says the U.S. government will pursue enforcement within the U.S. legal system and through the W.T.O.'s dispute settlement process. |
