歐盟的大象緩緩轉身(?
"這份報告大致上比以往又更貼近了美國對中國的看法，可望為 6 月將舉行的美、歐高峰會先行定調，從報告中亦可看出科技與貿易將會是施壓中國做出改革承諾的重點領域，而歐盟可能採取包括加強審查、違規罰款、剔除在公共採購名單之外等手段做為施壓的工具。"

歐盟這份對中報告猶在咬文嚼字呢:
"The multi-faceted approach ... should remain as the preferred way for the EU to deal with China. At the same time, further, robust efforts are needed on the implementation of existing actions and to address a number of new challenges."

國家資本的補貼始終是美國歐盟對中國不照規矩玩貿易公平競爭的最大詬病:
"The U.S. and nations in Europe and elsewhere also subsidize their own industries, often through tax breaks, export financing and research-and-development funding. What makes China different is the outsize role state-controlled companies play in its economy, and its willingness to support their expansion abroad."
"The U.S. and Europe have long relied on the World Trade Organization and tariffs to penalize China for subsidizing exports with grants, tax breaks and credit from state-owned banks, measures that helped the country grow rapidly. But the WTO rules weren’t written to constrain subsidies that a government gives to its manufacturers overseas.
The result: Chinese-owned factories outside of China usually face lower tariffs than those imposed on factories inside the country—or escape them altogether."
中國現況是否禁得起三零一和美國是否真會動用三零一都令人存疑:
"為重新校准美國對中貿易政策，以捍衛國內勞工、企業、農民及製造業者，強化中產階級，戴琪宣布，她將與中方對口就第一階段貿易協議的落實進行討論，並展開關稅排除流程，確保現行架構符合美國經濟利益。
此外，戴琪指出，在確保北京履行貿易協議的同時，美國會持續對中國以國家為中心、非市場貿易行徑表達關切。美方會動用所有現行工具並依據需求發展新工具，以保衛美國經濟利益不受有害政策與行徑影響。"
財經網美說的一年期中國出口美國半數關稅項目豁免的說法在WSJ找不到相關佐證，莫非中文媒體都是從"將繼續維持半數川政權懲罰性關稅"來推導出"有半數關稅豁免"這個結論嗎? 目前先找到所謂美企申請關稅豁免程序這部分的佐證:
"At the same time, she said, the U.S. will reopen a process for U.S. companies to seek exemptions from tariffs. That exemption process ended after President Biden took office, drawing complaints from manufacturers and others who say they have no cost-effective alternatives to certain Chinese components."
沒想到罐裝食品也會面臨關稅考驗...
"Chinese products would be subject to the highest tariffs of the three countries—a levy of 122.52% of their import value. That rate partly reflects Chinese companies’ refusal to cooperate with the investigation to prove their independence from the Chinese Communist Party, an administration official said."
"At the same time, the officials cleared five other trading partners—the Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey and the U.K.—of dumping allegations, narrowing the scope of the products covered by new tariffs."
