工商時報【譚有勝╱綜合報導】
停頓兩個月的中美貿易談判即將重啟,雙方貿易高層代表9日進行通話,並準備舉行面對面談判。而在談判展開前,美方向大陸釋出善意,美國貿易代表署(USTR)9日宣布,對110項的中國商品豁免關稅,豁免的商品包括醫療設備、電子元件等。
中美元首在日本大阪「習川會」上取得共識,除了暫停加徵新的關稅外,雙方也同意恢復貿易談判。正當外界靜待新一輪中美貿易談判之際,雙方貿易高層代表在9日進行通話。
據路透報導,美國貿易代表萊海澤(Robert Lighthizer)和財長穆努欽(Steven Mnuchin)與中國副總理劉鶴和商務部部長鍾山9日晚間通電話,以解決懸而未決的貿易爭端。
據白宮經濟顧問庫德洛(Larry Kudlow)稍後接受媒體訪問時表示,中美貿易高層對話進展良好且富有建設性,雙方也正討論要舉辦面對面談判的事宜,很有可能在北京舉行。
值得注意的是,USTR也在同一天宣布,對110項中國商品豁免高額的關稅,這些產品主要醫療設備和電子元件,例如熱交換器、壓縮點火引擎、減壓閥、客用或貨用電梯零件、部分交流╱直流馬達等。豁免清單將在2019年7月9日起正式生效,有效期限為1年,豁免權也可追溯至2018年7月6日。
在USTR公佈此次關稅豁免清單前,美國自2018年以來已批准1,000項關稅豁免申請案件,但USTR在2019年6月仍拒絕了5,311份關稅豁免申請。
雖然美國此次公佈的豁免清單範圍較小,但部分美國企業暫時能夠喘一口氣。其中,全球最大的醫療設備製造商「美敦力」(Metronic)的醫療設備,因研發投入較高的零部件並非在中國生產,成功通過豁免申請。
另外,網路安全公司帕羅奧圖網路(Palo Alto Networks)的電容器產品,因不屬於「中國製造2025」計劃項目,也獲得關稅豁免。
報導指出,USTR在通過豁免申請時,主要按照幾項條件作出決定,譬如:產品是否只能夠在中國取得;關稅是否會對申請者或對美國經濟造成損害;相關產品對「中國製造2025」的重要性等。

Business Times [Tan Yousheng's comprehensive report]

The Sino-US trade talks, which have been suspended for two months, are about to restart. The high-level trade representatives of the two sides will make talks on the 9th and are ready to hold face-to-face negotiations. Before the negotiations began, the United States released goodwill to the mainland. The US Trade Representative Office (USTR) announced on the 9th that it would exempt 110 items of Chinese goods, including medical equipment and electronic components.

China and the United States reached a consensus on the "Xichuan Club" in Osaka, Japan. In addition to suspending the addition of new tariffs, the two sides also agreed to resume trade negotiations. Just as the outside world waited for a new round of Sino-US trade negotiations, the top trade representatives of the two sides made a call on the 9th.

According to Reuters, US trade representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He and Minister of Commerce Zhong Shan called on the evening of the 9th to resolve outstanding trade disputes.

According to White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow, who later accepted a media interview, the China-US trade high-level dialogue is progressing well and constructively. The two sides are also discussing the issue of face-to-face negotiations, which is likely to be held in Beijing.

It is worth noting that USTR also announced on the same day that it exempts 110 Chinese goods from high tariffs. These products are mainly medical equipment and electronic components such as heat exchangers, compression ignition engines, pressure reducing valves, passenger or cargo elevators. Parts, part of AC, DC motor, etc. The list of exemptions will take effect on July 9, 2019, with a validity period of one year and exemptions dating back to July 6, 2018.

Before the USTR announced the tariff exemption list, the US has approved 1,000 tariff exemption applications since 2018, but USTR still rejected 5,311 tariff exemption applications in June 2019.

Although the list of exemptions announced by the United States is small, some US companies are temporarily able to breathe a sigh of relief. Among them, the medical equipment of the world's largest medical equipment manufacturer, "Metronic", was not produced in China because of the high-tech parts and components.

In addition, the cable products of the network security company Palo Alto Networks are also exempted from tariff exemption because they are not part of the "Made in China 2025" project.

The report pointed out that when the USTR passes the application for exemption, it mainly decides according to several conditions, such as whether the product can only be obtained in China; whether the tariff will cause damage to the applicant or the US economy; the relevant products are for "Made in China 2025". Importance and so on.

Trump says U.S. will hold off on new China tariffs as trade talks restart
Trump cast his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Group of 20 economic summit in Osaka as a success.

By Josh Lederman and Kristen Welker
OSAKA, Japan — President Donald Trump agreed Saturday to hold off on imposing new tariffs on China as the two countries relaunched stalled talks aimed at ending their trade war.
Trump also said he was lifting his ban on U.S. companies selling technology to Huawei, the Chinese telecom firm accused by the U.S. of surveillance for the Chinese government and posing a cyber-security threat.

However, the two countries did not reach a broader deal to resolve U.S. concerns about the firm and it appeared that a ban on U.S. companies buying technology from Huawei would remain in place.
Trump cast his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Group of 20 economic summit in Osaka as a success, telling reporters that "we will be continuing to negotiate."
"We're right back on track and we'll see what happens," he added.
The president said that 25 percent tariffs he's already imposed on hundreds of billions in Chinese imports will stay "at least for the time being," but that he also would not proceed with a new $300 billion round of tariffs on Chinese goods that he'd threatened after earlier negotiations broke down.
"We're not doing that," Trump said. "We’re going to work with China on where we left off to see if we can make a deal."
China, in a statement carried by its official Xinhua news agency, said negotiations had been restarted “on the basis of equality and mutual respect,” adding, “The U.S. side said not to add new tariffs on Chinese exports.”
The averted tariffs remove a looming threat to the global economy — at least for now — but could also raise questions about what the U.S. received in return.
Trump said that even as talks are ongoing, China had agreed to start spending money on U.S. farmers, though he did not give specifics.
"We're going to give them a list of things we'd like them to buy," the president said.
Yet on Huawei, a thorny yet unrelated issue that has been dragged into the trade fight, the two economic powers still have a significant gap to bridge. Trump said the two countries would save the issue "for the very end."
Trump has already slapped a 25 percent tariff on $250 billion in Chinese goods to the dismay of global economists. Absent an off-ramp, Trump has also threatened 25 percent tariffs on another $300 billion in goods from China, though he softened that position slightly before his trip by saying the rate could possibly be 10 percent instead.
Whether trade talks would be relaunched and more tariffs avoided had been the key question overshadowing Trump’s trip to the annual G-20 summit. Although a senior Trump administration official said there were “absolutely no preconditions” for their meeting, the serious ramifications for the economy in both countries raised the stakes for some type of resolution or breakthrough, even if only partial.
"They would like to make a deal, I will tell you that," Trump said, adding that if one were achieved, it would be "historic."
Although Beijing and Washington appeared headed toward a deal in May, the U.S. blamed China for scuttling the talks by pulling back from concessions it had already agreed to make. As he started his meeting with Xi earlier Saturday, Trump alluded to the breakdown in restrained, diplomatic terms that suggested he was seeking to avoid calling out the Chinese leader publicly in hopes of salvaging prospects for renewed talks.
“I actually think we were very close and then something happened where it slipped a little bit," he said. "Now it’s getting a little closer.”

China Says No Trade Deal With The US Unless Trump Strips Tariffs

China said Thursday it will not reach a trade deal with the United States unless President Donald Trump rescinds the tariffs he has placed on the country.

“The U.S. tariff hike on Chinese products was the trigger for bilateral trade frictions, so all the additional tariffs imposed since [the beginning of the trade war in July 2018] must be scrapped once there is a deal,” Gao Feng, spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said at a regular media briefing, according to the South China Morning Post.

“If the two sides are to reach a deal, all imposed tariffs must be removed,” Feng continued. “China’s attitude on that is clear and consistent. … Consultations must be conducted based on the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.” (RELATED: Universities Push Back On FBI Request To Monitor Chinese-Sponsored Students)

Feng’s comments come just six days after Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, to discuss a potential trade deal that would involve lifting U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods.

Trump said he would hold off on implementing further U.S. tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese goods while talks are ongoing but has not lifted the 25% tariffs currently imposed on $250 billion of Chinese imports.

He told reporters at the summit that he and Xi “right back on track” and “U.S. companies can sell their equipment to Huawei” in an attempt to ease trade tension between the U.S. and China — a big win for the Chinese tech giant after being blacklisted by the U.S. government.

Trump signed an executive order in May to ban U.S. Huawei sales after the Department of Justice charged the company for bank fraud, wire fraud and violating Iran sanctions. Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei said the blacklisting move would cost the company $30 billion in revenue.

BEIJING: US tariffs against China must be lifted for the two sides to reach a deal to end the trade war, the Chinese commerce ministry said on Thursday (Jul 4).
Trade teams from the world's top two economies "have maintained communication", ministry spokesman Gao Feng said, days after presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping announced a truce.


"The United States' unilateral tariff increase on China's exports to the United States is the starting point for the Sino-US economic and trade frictions," Gao said at a weekly press briefing.
"If the two sides can reach an agreement, the tariffs imposed must be completely eliminated. China's attitude toward this is clear and consistent," Gao said.

The countries have exchanged tariffs on US$360 billion in two-way trade and negotiations broke down in May after the United States accused China of reneging on its commitments.


Trump and Xi agreed at the G20 in Japan on Saturday to revive negotiations.
The US leader said he would not slap new tariffs on Chinese exports and suggested he could take a softer stance on Chinese telecom giant Huawei, which he has moved to blacklist.

美國川普政府今天宣布將豁免中國110項輸美產品的關稅,包括醫療設備及重要電子元件等產品,讓獲利因關稅衝擊而受損的美國企業可望獲得一些緩解。

路透社報導,美國2018年7月6日宣布對價值340億美元中輸美商品加徵25%關稅,成為美中貿易戰開打的首波攻勢,撼動全球供應鏈,導致數十億美元損失。

美國貿易代表署(USTR)最新公布的豁免清單,豁免有效期可追溯到關稅實施當日,並從今天起延長一年。

這一輪豁免清單中,包括網路安全業者Palo Alto Networks向中國進口的鉭質電容器,醫療集團美敦力(Medtronic)治療肝腫瘤儀器的一項零組件和瓦里安(Varian Medical Systems Inc)醫療系統公司的放射治療設備。

然而,電動車大廠特斯拉(Tesla Inc)部分中國製的汽車電路並未獲得豁免,原因是這些元件對「中國製造2025」計畫具有「戰略重要性」。

美中互課高額關稅大戰已延燒一年,兩個月前兩國談判陷入僵局,本週終將重啟會談。華府希望北京解決美國官員眼中數十年來的不公平和非法貿易行為。

美國貿易代表辦公室過去一年已批准了其他1000項豁免。而今年5月,貿易代表署在近1萬3000項豁免申請中,駁回了5311項。

Lift the ban! Trump government announces exemption of 110 tariffs on Chinese products

The Trump administration of the United States today announced that it will waive tariffs on 110 products exported to the United States, including medical equipment and important electronic components, so that US companies that have suffered damage due to tariff shocks are expected to achieve some relief.

Reuters reported that on July 6, 2018, the United States announced that it would impose a 25% tariff on US$34 billion worth of goods exported to the United States, becoming the first wave of US-China trade wars, inciting global supply chains and causing billions of dollars in losses.

The latest list of exemptions issued by the US Trade Representative Office (USTR), the exemption period can be traced back to the date of implementation of the tariff and extended for one year from today.

This round of exemptions includes a tantalum capacitor imported by the Internet security industry Palo Alto Networks to China, a component of the medical group Medtronic for the treatment of liver tumor instruments, and Varian Medical Systems Inc. Radiation therapy equipment.

However, some of the Chinese-made automotive circuits of Tesla Inc., an electric car manufacturer, have not been exempted because they are "strategic" for the "Made in China 2025" project.

The US-China high-class tariff war has been postponed for one year. Two months ago, the negotiations between the two countries were deadlocked and the talks will be resumed this week. Washington hopes that Beijing will resolve the unfair and illegal trade practices that US officials have seen for decades.

The US Trade Representative Office has approved another 1,000 exemptions in the past year. In May of this year, the Trade Representative Office rejected 5,311 items in nearly 13,000 applications for exemption.
