自中美贸易战开战以来,两国经济关系持续处于紧张状态。美国总统特朗普威胁如果中国再不改变经济战略,便要对从中国进口的货物再额外加上2670亿美元的税;而中国一直以来都寸步不让。如果贸易战加剧,世界各国的经济都有可能收到影响。我们也是期待中美能在G20峰会上能达到一定的共识。
Since the beginning of the China-US trade war, there has been ongoing economic tension between the two countries. US president Trump threatened to increase another $267 billion tax on China imports if China does not alter its economic strategy, while China holds its ground.
