2023年3月23日	March 23, 2023
【束珏婷】:各位记者朋友：大家下午好，欢迎参加商务部例行新闻发布会。	Shu Jueting: Friends from the media, good afternoon. Welcome to MOFCOM regular press conference.
今天我没有需要向大家主动通报的信息。下面我愿意回答记者朋友提出的问题。	Since I don’t have any announcement to make today, we can proceed directly to the Q&A session.
下面请提问。	The floor is open.
【上海证券报记者】:今年是“一带一路”倡议提出十周年，商务部此前提出，今年将推动与更多有意愿的共建“一带一路”国家商签自贸协定，加快建设覆盖“一带一路”的自贸区网络，那么请问目前商务部有哪些具体举措？	Shanghai Securities News: This year marks the 10th anniversary of the inception of Belt and Road Initiative. MOFCOM said that this year more FTAs with interested Belt and Road countries will be negotiated and signed and an FTA network covering the Belt and Road will be built at a quicker pace.
取得了哪些成效？	What steps has MOFCOM taken and what achievements have been made?
【束珏婷】:经过多年的不懈努力，目前我国已与东盟10国、智利、新西兰等18个共建“一带一路”国家签署了自贸协定，其中包括《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》（RCEP），这也是目前全球覆盖人口最多、经贸规模最大、最具发展潜力的自贸协定。	Shu Jueting: After years of unremitting efforts, China has signed FTAs with 18 partners along the Belt and Road, including 10 ASEAN members, Chile, and New Zealand. One of the FTAs is the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which is the largest free trade agreement in terms of population, trade volume and growth potential.
同时，我国正积极推动中国—东盟自贸区3.0版以及与韩国、新加坡、海合会、以色列、尼加拉瓜等25个共建“一带一路”国家的自贸协定谈判或升级谈判。	China is also actively advancing negotiations on China-ASEAN FTA 3.0. FTA negotiations or upgrade talks are under way between China and 25 Belt and Road countries including Korea, Singapore, the GCC, Israel, and Nicaragua.

We will further strengthen the globally oriented network of high-standard FTAs.
扩围方面，积极推进加入CPTPP和DEPA，持续推进各自贸协定谈判和升级谈判进程，推动与更多有意愿的国家商签自贸协定。	To expand the coverage, we will push for the accession to CPTPP and DEPA, continue to move forward with the ongoing FTA negotiations and upgrade talks and sign more FTAs with interested countries.
提质方面，进一步提高市场准入开放水平，积极参与数字经济、环境保护等新兴领域的规则制定。	To enhance the quality, we will further open up market access and play an active role in making rules in emerging sectors such as digital economy and environmental protection.
增效方面，持续加大对自贸协定的宣介推广，通过实施好自贸协定，助力维护区域和全球产业链供应链稳定，为我国和各自贸伙伴的企业和人民带来更多实惠。谢谢。	To deliver more benefits, we will step up efforts to enhance the awareness and knowledge of FTAs and contribute to maintaining stable regional and global industrial and supply chains through sound implementation of FTAs so as to bring more benefits to businesses and peoples of China and our FTA partners.

【第一财经日报记者】:近日，美国国际贸易委员会发布的一份报告显示，在特朗普时期对华征收“301”关税后，美国进口商价格几乎1:1上涨，这意味着美国进口商几乎承担了这一关税的全部负担。	China Business News: A recent U.S. ITC report says that after the Trump administration imposed Section 301 tariffs on China, U.S. import prices rose about 1 to 1, meaning that the cost of Section 301 tariffs have been borne almost entirely by U.S. importers.
请问商务部对此有何评论？	What’s your comment?

报告指出，301关税的成本几乎完全由美国进口商承担。	The report points out that the cost of Section 301 tariffs have been borne almost entirely by U.S. importers.

美方301关税措施是典型的单边主义和贸易保护做法，严重干扰了中美双边贸易正常开展，破坏了全球产业链供应链稳定，美国的进口商和消费者也深受其害。	U.S. Section 301 actions are typical examples of unilateral and protectionist practices. They severely interrupt normal China-U.S. trade, disrupt stability of global industrial and supply chains, and make U.S. importers and consumers suffer The WTO panel has ruled that Section 301 actions are inconsistent with WTO rules..
此前，世贸组织专家组已裁决301关税措施违反世贸规则。
美方应倾听国内各界呼声，尊重世贸组织专家组裁决，尽快取消全部对华加征关税，同中方相向而行，共同维护全球产业链供应链稳定，造福两国人民和世界人民。谢谢。	The U.S. should heed the appeals in the U.S. and around the world, respect the ruling of the WTO panel, remove additional tariffs on China as quickly as possible, and work with China in the same direction to uphold stable global industrial and supply chains, in order to benefit people from China and the U.S. and around the world.

近年来，在两国领导人的战略引领下，中巴经贸关系不断深化，双边贸易稳步发展，投资合作日趋活跃。	Shu Jueting: China and Brazil are important economic and trade partners for each other.

Thank you.
【深圳卫视记者】:近日有外媒报道，美方将要求TikTok强制出售，想请问一下商务部对此有何评论？	Shenzhen Satellite TV: Recently, foreign media reported that the US would force the sale of TikTok’s American operations. What is the comment of the Ministry of Commerce?
【束珏婷】:我们注意到相关报道。	Shu Jueting: We have noticed relevant reports.
无视产品和服务本身，仅从外国投资者身份出发，强制要求出售TikTok，将严重损害包括中国在内的各国投资者赴美投资信心。	If TikTok is forced to sell its American operations only because it is foreign-invested, while ignoring the products and services themselves, this will seriously harm the confidence of investors from other countries, including China, to invest in the United States.
如果该消息属实，中方将坚决反对。	If the news is verified, China will resolutely oppose it.

The total exhibition area was 3.657 million square meters, up 62.3% year-on-year.
其中，展览面积在1万平方米以上的大型展览活动共计78场，同比增长1.6倍。	Among them, there were 78 large-scale exhibition events with an exhibition area of over 10,000 square meters, a year-on-year increase of 1.6 times.

当前，我国已平稳进入“乙类乙管”常态化防控阶段。	At present, China has smoothly entered the stage of downgrading its response to Covid-19 to measures designed for class-B infectious diseases.
大量海外客户迫切希望来华参加展会，开拓市场，中国企业也期待通过展会获取订单、扩大贸易。	A large number of overseas customers are eager to come to China for the exhibitions and explore market opportunities. Chinese businesses are also looking forward to obtaining orders and expanding trade through the exhibitions.
预计全年境内举办展览活动规模较上年有望实现大幅增长。	It is estimated that the scale of exhibitions held in China throughout the year is expected to increase substantially compared with the previous year.

【束珏婷】:中德互为重要经贸合作伙伴，产业链供应链深度融合。	Shu Yuting: China and Germany are important economic and trade partners, and their industrial and supply chains are deeply integrated.
中国连续7年成为德国最大贸易伙伴，德国连续48年保持中国在欧洲最大贸易伙伴，两国相互投资存量近600亿美元。	China has been Germany's largest trading partner for seven consecutive years, and Germany has been China's largest trading partner in Europe for 48 consecutive years. The two-way investment between the two countries has reached nearly USD60 billion.
中德经贸合作不断深化，为两国经济发展作出积极贡献，给两国人民带来实实在在的好处。	The China-German economic and trade cooperation has deepened, contributing to the economic development of the two countries and bringing tangible benefits to the two peoples.
中德之间紧密的经济联系是全球化发展和市场规律作用的结果。	The close economic ties between China and Germany are the result of globalization and market laws.
中德经济优势互补，不存在所谓一方依赖另一方的问题。	China and Germany have complementary economic advantages. There never exists the case that one side depends on the other.

【红星新闻记者】:商务部今年提出将在投资促进方面举办“投资中国年”招商引资活动，请问对于该活动还有没有进一步的消息？	Red Star News: This year, the Ministry of Commerce proposed to hold the "Invest in China Year" in business and investment promotion. Is there any further update about this event?
【束珏婷】:今年商务部将大力开展“投资中国年”招商引资系列活动。	Shu Jueting: This year, the Ministry of Commerce will launch a series of business and investment promotion activities under "Invest in China Year".
中国各地资源禀赋、产业发展各具特色，我们希望通过一系列“请进来”“走出去”的推介活动，全面展示各地投资机遇和比较优势，让各方更加了解开放发展、多元包容的中国，为各国投资者搭建合作共赢、共创共享的平台。	China's localities enjoy distinctive resource endowments and industrial development. We hope that through a series of promotion activities featuring "bringing investment in" and "going global", we can fully display investment opportunities and comparative advantages of various places, let everyone know more about a diverse and inclusive China in its opening up and development endeavor, and build a platform for investors from all over the world to achieve win-win cooperation for all.
目前，“投资中国年”招商引资活动已陆续启动。	At present, the investment promotion activities of "Invest in China Year" have been gradually launched.
上周，商务部组织代表团赴阿联酋、卡塔尔、沙特三国开展经贸交流与投资促进活动，召开了“投资中国年”—中阿、中沙投资合作论坛。	Last week, the Ministry of Commerce dispatched a delegation to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia to carry out economic and trade exchanges and investment promotion, and held the "Invest in China Year"-China-Arab and China-Saudi Arabia Investment Cooperation Forum.
3月28-29日，商务部将与广东省人民政府在广州共同举办“投资中国年”招商引资活动启动仪式暨广东专场推介。	On March 28-29, the Ministry of Commerce and the Guangdong Provincial People's Government will jointly hold the launching ceremony of "Invest in China Year" and the promotion events for Guangdong.

Thank you.
【路透社记者】:彼得森国际经济研究所（PIIE）本周写道，通货膨胀是美国对华出口在2022年创下新高的主要驱动力。	Reuters: The Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) wrote this week that inflation is the main driver for a new high in US export to China in 2022.
报告还指出，从2017年至今，中国购买的美国商品远远少于在没有贸易战或制裁的情况下的预测购买量，而美国的出口量也远远少于中美第一阶段贸易协定中所列的数量。	The report also pointed out that from 2017 till now, China's purchase of American goods are far less than the predicted amount of purchase without trade wars or sanctions, and the export volume of the United States is far less than those listed in the Phase One agreement between China and the United States.
中国是否应该担心，对美国的顺差扩大会招致美国新的抱怨，即中国没有做的足够好，没有从美国进口更多的产品？	Should China worry that the expansion of its surplus with the United States will lead to new complaints from the United States that China has not done enough or has not imported more products from the United States?
对美顺差的扩大是否会阻碍中国要求美国降低对中国商品关税的努力？	Will the expansion of the surplus with the United States hinder China's efforts to ask the United States to reduce tariffs on goods from China?
【束珏婷】:中方从不刻意追求对美贸易顺差。	Shu Jueting: China has never deliberately pursued a trade surplus with the United States.
归根结底，美对华的贸易逆差是由中美经济结构、产业国际分工和美对华出口管制等多重因素决定的。	In the final analysis, the American trade deficit with China is determined by multiple factors, such as the economic structure of China and the U.S., international division of labor for industries, and U.S. export controls on China.
近年来，美国对外整体贸易逆差呈持续扩大趋势，美对华的贸易逆差增速明显低于美整体逆差增速。	In recent years, the overall foreign trade deficit of the United States has continued to expand, and the growth rate of the U.S. trade deficit with China is clearly lower than that of the U.S. overall deficit.
中国企业基于市场需求，自美进口大量农产品、汽车、科技、能源石化等产品，这对双方都有好处。	Based on market demand, China businesses import a large amount of agricultural produce, automobile, science and technology, energy and petrochemical products from the United States, which is beneficial to both sides.
同样，中国对美国的出口也增加了美国消费者的福利，增强了下游企业的竞争力优势，降低了美国的通货膨胀。	Similarly, China's export to the United States has also increased the welfare of American consumers, enhanced the competitive edge of downstream enterprises, and reduced inflation in the United States.
中美经贸合作的本质是互利共赢。	China-U.S. trade is mutually beneficial in nature.
美方应尽早取消对中国加征的301关税，放宽对华出口管制，停止针对中国企业的贸易限制，为两国企业扩大贸易合作、减少对华贸易逆差创造有利条件。谢谢。	The United States should remove the Section 301 tariffs imposed on China as soon as possible, relax export controls on China, stop trade restrictions targeting China enterprises, and create favorable conditions for businesses of the two countries to expand trade cooperation and reduce its trade deficit with China. Thank you.
