The U.S. and China issued long lists of demands at talks in Beijing this
week to resolve the simmering trade dispute between the world’s two biggest
economies.
In a document entitled “Balancing the Trade Relationship,” seen by
Bloomberg News, the U.S. divided its demands into eight sections, ranging
from trade-deficit reduction to tariff barriers to implementation. Here’s a

1） 对中兴的调查和制裁在两年前就由欧巴马政府启动并实施，并不是川普本届政府才
搞的。前欧巴马政府官员对于这个违反美国国家法律，并对美国国家安全造成隐患的中
兴处罚很可能被放弃感到不可思议。
2） 国会山庄的两党议员，反对在贸易谈判中用中兴来作为退让条款来换取其它利益。
3） 中国要求美国解除对中兴的制裁，同时愿意放弃前一阵叫嚣的对美国农产品施加的
额外30亿美元的报复性关税。
4） 美国要求中国两年减少贸易逆差2000亿美元， 中国答应购买美国农产品和天然气
等，两年减少1500亿美元，双方缺口仍然有500亿美元的差距。
5） 这次，美国仍然拿出了一个涉及到一些实质问题的清单要中国给出答案。

发帖数: 1 | 4 +++++ 背景描述
中美贸易谈判前天结束。昨天双方发表了一个没有任何数字的“联合声明”，美国称其
为“框架声明”/framework. 这个声明，按照美国说法是建立在中国对美国承诺降低关
税和解除非关税壁垒，购买大量美国农业，能源和其它产品，以及采取有效措施保护美
国知识产权的前提下双方同意结束谈判。
基于美国对中国承诺的信任， 美国认为中国会遵守其诺言，因此在星期六签署了这个
“联合声明”。随即刘鹤于当天坐飞机飞回中国。而此时的美国，除了手里捏着那个一
页纸的干巴巴的“联合声明”，就只能手捂胸口，祈祷上帝，眼睁睁的盼望中国兑现诺
言降低关税和买2000亿美元的东西了。
然而，一天以后，怀揣着中国人刘留下的那一纸空文，美国视乎有点意识到被骗的感觉
。 星期天一早，媒体立即释放了美国财政部长Steven Mnuchin，接受 Fox News 采访
的消息。透露了谈判时的很多细节和现在美国的态度。
