U.S. higher tariffs discourage imports and China lower tariffs encourage imports. The question missing in this article is whether the U.S. is included in the lower tariffs
​
美国提高关税抑制进口，中国降低关税鼓励进口。这篇文章缺少的问题是美国是否包括在较低的关税中。

Well how about them apples? China cutting import tariffs. It's a start , but they've got a long way to go. Trump is correct, we need REAL fair trade. Let the law of supply and demand rule, not governments.

那苹果呢?中国削减进口关税。这只是一个开始，但他们还有很长的路要走。特朗普是对的，我们需要真正的公平贸易。让供求规律而不是政府来主导。

The tariffs cuts are targeting products from EU, Canada, and other countries, to counter the increased cost of imported goods from US. Someone is smiling, but not American manufacturers and farmers.

这些关税削减针对的是来自欧盟、加拿大和其他国家的产品，以应对来自美国的进口商品成本上升。有人在微笑，但不是美国制造商和农民。

Will they cut the US products that we export to them too? I wish this trade war thing ends soon, or we might lose big in emergence market of China. Hope that those in making big decision about trade put our economic advantages at the most priority for the better off of our economy.

他们会削减我们出口给他们的美国产品吗?我希望这场贸易战能尽快结束，否则我们可能在中国的新兴市场上损失惨重。希望那些在贸易问题上做出重大决定的人把我们的经济优势放在最优先的位置，以使我们的经济更好。

This means nothing to us. China has a managed economy. Every time they increase import, they make sure the imports are from other countries and not America. This is a non-event for us. Their playing field remains tilted against us. Nothing has change.

这对我们毫无意义。中国的经济是有管理的。每次他们增加进口的时候，他们都要确保进口来自其他国家而不是美国。这对我们来说不是什么大事。他们的竞争环境仍然不利于我们。什么都没有改变。

This will never happen again. All China has to do is wait until Trump is out of office and then it is business as usual.

这种事再也不会发生了。中国要做的就是等特朗普下台，然后一切照旧。

The U.S. trade deficit with China was $375 billion in 2017. The trade deficit exists because U.S. exports to China were only $130 billion while imports from China were $506 billion. The United States imported from China $77 billion in computers and accessories, $70 billion in cell phones and $54 billion in apparel and footwear.

2017年，美国对华贸易逆差为3,750亿美元。贸易逆差的存在是因为美国对中国的出口仅为1,300亿美元，而从中国的进口为5,060亿美元。美国从中国进口了770亿美元的电脑和配件，700亿美元的手机和540亿美元的服装和鞋类。
