[2019-08-24]全面贸易战：特朗普对5500亿美元的中国商品征收关税

内容概要:
US President Donald Trump has announced yet another major hike of existing and future tariffs on some $550 billion in Chinese goods, criticizing Beijing’s attempt to offset the losses as ‘unfair’ and ‘politically motivated.’

美国总统特朗普宣布对价值5500亿美元的中国商品再次大幅提高现有和未来的关税，批评北京试图抵消损失的做法是“不公平的”和“有政治动机的”。

The latest salvo in the raging US-China trade war ups the ante after Beijing applied duties of its own to $75 billion in American goods, sending US markets into a tailspin. Chinese countermeasures envisage 5 to 10 percent duties on American farm products including beef, pork, and soybeans, a 25 percent duty on cars, and for the first time, a tax on US crude oil.

在中国政府对价值750亿美元的美国商品征收关税，导致美国市场陷入混乱之后，激烈的美中贸易战的最新一轮炮火加大了赌注。中国的对策是对包括牛肉、猪肉和大豆在内的美国农产品征收5%至10%的关税，对汽车征收25%的关税，并首次对美国原油征税。

US stock market indexes fell precipitously on Friday, with the Dow Jones plummeting 700 points at one point amid Trump’s threats to cut off all trade with Beijing. When he virtually ordered US companies to “immediately start looking for an alternative to China,” it inspired further market panic.

美国股市指数周五大幅下跌，在特朗普威胁切断与北京的所有贸易之际，道琼斯指数一度暴跌700点。当他几乎下令美国企业“立即开始寻找中国以外的替代品”时，引发了进一步的市场恐慌。

But if this kind of behavior is not a clear sign of a dictator then I do not know what is.
Is US still a democracy ? Not that it ever really was, but still, Trump seems to be the first ever President to be elected democratically, that is, not what the party apparatus picked. And here we have the biggest dictator US had ever seen.

如果这种行为不是独裁者的标志，那么我不知道什么是独裁者。
美国仍然是一个民主国家吗？并不意味着它以前是，但特朗普似乎是有史以来第一位民主选举的总统，也就是说，这不是政党机构选择的。这是我们所见过的最大的独裁者。

It's time for China to dump US treasuries!

中国是时候抛售美国国债了!

I agree it will be quite a laughing stock when nothing happens.

我同意，如果什么都没有发生，这将是一个很大的笑柄。

I bet the American people feel gutted that the old Donald is starting trade wars.

我敢打赌，美国人民对老特朗普正在发动的贸易战感到很失望。

Most Americans have no clue about this. I am American and it is impossible to find anyone to have an intelligent conversation with. No one knows anything about anything going on in the world or the names of important figures.

大多数美国人对此一无所知。我是美国人，找不到一个能与我理性对话的人。没有人知道世界上发生的任何事情或重要人物的名字。

And he is a total ldiot as well - gambles with the future of his own Nation.

他是一个彻头彻尾的白痴，用自己国家的未来孤注一掷。

There is no way he can stop what he calls "the transfer of wealth" because US primarily consumes, and these days produces very little, while other Nations produce instead. And so he is gambling away the future of his Nation not even addressing this root of the American problem

他没有办法阻止他所谓的“财富转移”，因为美国主要是消费，而现在自己生产的很少，而其他国家却生产。因此，他在赌自己国家的未来，甚至没有解决美国问题的根源。
