中国商务部周四表示,只要两国落实削减彼此300亿美元进口商品关税的协议,中国愿意增加购买美国农产品。
China is open to increasing purchases of US agricultural products, provided the two countries implement an agreement to cut tariffs on $30 billion worth of imports from each other, the Commerce Ministry said Thursday.
据国家通讯社新华社报道,商务部发言人黄玲在例行新闻发布会上表示,农产品贸易是双边经济合作的重要组成部分。
Ministry spokesperson Huang Ling told a regular news conference that agricultural trade is an important part of bilateral economic cooperation, according to state news agency Xinhua.
黄玲表示,扩大合作可以为消费者提供更多选择,同时为两国企业和农民带来稳定收入。
Expanding cooperation could offer consumers more choices while providing stable income for businesses and farmers in both countries, Huang said.
她敦促华盛顿与北京共同努力,降低关税、减少非关税壁垒、扩大市场准入,为农产品贸易创造更有利的条件。
She urged Washington to work with Beijing to lower tariffs, reduce non-tariff barriers, and expand market access to create more favorable conditions for agricultural trade.
此番表态之前,双方于9月20日至23日在纽约和华盛顿举行了第八轮双边经贸磋商。
The remarks follow the eighth round of bilateral economic and trade consultations held in New York and Washington on Sept. 20-23.
根据协议,两国将各自降低对从对方进口的约300亿美元商品的关税,合计涉及约600亿美元贸易额。约90%的受覆盖产品关税将降至最惠国税率。一旦双方完成各自国内法律程序,降税将同时生效。
Under the agreement, each country would lower tariffs on approximately $30 billion worth of goods imported from the other, covering about $60 billion in combined trade. Tariffs on around 90% of the covered products would fall to most-favored-nation rates. The reductions would take effect simultaneously once both sides complete their domestic legal procedures.
中国商务部此前表示,该安排将涵盖美国农产品、个人护理产品、医疗器械和煤炭。华盛顿将降低对中国商品的关税,包括玩具、家用电器、婴儿用品、厨卫产品和节日礼品。
China’s Commerce Ministry previously said the arrangement would cover US agricultural products, personal care products, medical devices, and coal. Washington would reduce tariffs on Chinese goods, including toys, household appliances, baby products, kitchen and bathroom products, and holiday gifts.
稳定贸易的更广泛努力 这项关税协议是稳定世界两大经济体经济关系的更广泛努力的一部分,此前双方在关税和市场准入问题上存在争端。
Broader efforts to stabilize trade The tariff agreement forms part of wider efforts to stabilize economic relations between the world’s two largest economies following disputes over tariffs and market access.
两国领导人在5月北京会晤期间同意设立政府间贸易委员会,9月的谈判推进了其运作程序和对等关税框架。
The two countries’ leaders agreed during their May meeting in Beijing to establish an intergovernmental Board of Trade, with September’s negotiations advancing its operating procedures and the reciprocal tariff framework.
中国商务部称,在9月的会谈中,北京和华盛顿还同意将2025年10月在吉隆坡达成的经贸安排延长至2027年1月10日。
During the September talks, Beijing and Washington also agreed to extend their October 2025 Kuala Lumpur economic and trade arrangement until Jan. 10, 2027, according to the Chinese ministry.
该安排此前将某些关税和非关税措施暂停至2026年11月10日。此次延长为就这些措施的未来进行谈判提供了更多时间。
That arrangement had suspended certain tariff and non-tariff measures until Nov. 10, 2026. The extension provides additional time for negotiations on the future of those measures.
农产品市场准入仍是讨论的焦点。两国已成立一个农业工作组,由中国商务部和美国贸易代表办公室共同牵头。
Agricultural market access remains a focus of the discussions. The countries have established an agricultural working group jointly led by China’s Commerce Ministry and the Office of the US Trade Representative.
商务部表示,该工作组将处理监管问题以及农产品的双向市场准入,首次会议计划在2026年底前举行。
The group will address regulatory issues and two-way market access for agricultural products, with its first meeting planned before the end of 2026, the ministry said.
