CommentaryChinese exporters have lost a proverbial gold mine in the United States. Since 2018, Washington’s tariffs and other trade restrictions have increasingly blocked imports of Chinese products. Meanwhile, independent of Washington’s agenda, American buyers, after difficult experiences with China during COVID-19 and its aftermath, have decided to diversify their sourcing away from China.

Behind all the drama of President Donald Trump’s tariffs lies the hope that they serve some clear purpose for American and global trade. But Trump’s signature inscrutability makes it hard to discern what that purpose is—or whether one even exists. Either way, his actions threaten to unravel the global trading system that has been in place for the past 80 years.

⊙Milton Ezrati 中國將備受吹捧的高鐵延伸至全國各地的雄心壯志,傳達了三個重要訊息。首先,高鐵的規模和列車的流線型設計繼續成為中共領導層炫耀的資本,並引發國內外媒體的讚美。其次,擬議中的大部分高鐵現在或將來都將是浪費,尤其是在中國經濟疲軟的情況下,這將帶來沉重的負擔。應該有更好的方式來利用國家的勞動力、資本和自然資源。第三,建設高鐵的決定突顯了中共自上而下、中央計畫經濟決策方式的弱點。 毫無疑問,中國的高鐵計畫是當今世界上、甚至是歷史上最大的基礎設施計畫。現有的和計畫中的高鐵路線將連接中國人口稠密的東部地區,從南部的海口到北部的滿洲里,並延伸到偏遠的西北地區,及西藏和喜馬拉雅山脈。計畫中的路線包括在特殊路基上修建三萬多英里(逾4.8萬公里)的特殊軌道。 這項工程耗資巨大。在過去五年裡,國有企業「中國國家鐵路集團」在建設、供應新列車和車站上,花費了約5千億美元(約新台幣16.6兆元)。該集團的債務負擔已接近1兆美元,每年的還本付息費用達逾250億美元。儘管造價巨大,該計畫仍是中共黨魁習近平的寵兒,他擴大了從前任胡錦濤繼承下來的、野心勃勃的計畫。 支持與反對高鐵計畫的觀點...

Si les tarifs douaniers de Donald Trump n’ont surpris personne, ils ont néanmoins choqué tous azimuts à Pékin comme dans le reste du monde. Alors même que la Maison-Blanche imposait des charges supplémentaires à presque tous les producteurs étrangers – et augmentait le coût de la vie aux États-Unis -, le président Donald Trump invitait implicitement les autres nations à faire de même. Plutôt que de profiter de cette invitation, le régime communiste chinois a choisi de se battre.
