美国贸易代表谈新对华贸易关系与全球化重塑
一项罕见的跨党派共识在于改变与中国的关系。前总统特朗普开始对中国商品征收关税并限制某些关键技术的出口。这一做法在拜登政府下任期间进一步扩展至电动汽车、太阳能板和半导体等领域。

美国贸易代表凯瑟琳· Tai 将详细阐述她认为需要的新全球化版本，即“以工人为核心的贸易政策”，以确保国内投资和国际经济关系的健康运转。

原文摘要：
One of the rare areas of bipartisan consensus in the US right now, is on the need to change our trading relationship with China. Former President Donald Trump started a process of putting tariffs on Chinese goods and limiting the export of certain key technologies. This has only expanded under the Biden administration, with expanded restrictions on things like electric vehicles, solar panels, and semiconductors. So what’s the thinking behind this drive? What are the goals and what are the risks? On this episode we speak with the United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai. Ambassador Tai describes what she sees as a rethink, or a new version of, globalization. She explains the new worker-centric priorities, how trade fits into domestic investments, and what a healthy version of international economic relations actually looks like.
