WASHINGTON — China will increase its purchase of American goods and services in order to reduce the multibillion-dollar trade imbalance with the United States, the two countries said in a joint statement Saturday. 华盛顿——中美两国在周六的联合声明中表示,中国将购买更多美国商品和服务,以减少与美国数千亿美元的贸易不平衡。 How much the imbalance will be reduced remains to be seen. 这种不平衡会减少多少还有待观察。 Trump administration officials had said during negotiations this week that China was prepared to make up to $200 billion in additional purchases. Notably absent from Saturday’s announcement were any dollar figures — or a sense of the scale of the agreed-upon increases. 在本周的谈判期间,特朗普政府的官员称中国准备多购买2000亿美元(约合1.3万亿元人民币)的商品和服务。值得注意的是,周六的声明中没有出现任何金额——或是商定的增加规模。 |
