【凤凰卫视记者】:美国商务部长雷蒙多近期在接受采访时称，正在研究取消对华关税的问题，认为取消一些日用品、自行车的关税是有意义的，但她也说，拜登政府已经决定保留对钢铁和铝的部分关税，以保护美国工人和钢铁行业。	PHTV: U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina M. Raimondo said in a recent interview that she is considering rolling back some tariffs on China and believes it may make sense to eliminate tariffs on some daily necessities and bicycles, but she also said that the Biden administration has decided to keep some tariffs on steel and aluminum to protect American workers and the steel industry.

近年来，经济全球化遭遇逆流，单边主义和保护主义抬头，争端解决机制上诉机构停摆，世贸组织的权威性和有效性面临严重威胁。	In recent years, economic globalization has encountered headwinds, unilateralism and protectionism have been on the rise, the Appellate Body has been grounded to a halt and the authority and efficacy of the WTO have faced serious threats.

China will unswervingly uphold true multilateralism, maintain the status of the multilateral trading system as the main channel for making international rules, and push for positive and pragmatic results of MC12 so that the WTO can play a greater role in addressing global challenges and promoting post-pandemic economic recovery.
