南非与中国签订的双边协定表明:不论在双边或多边领域,任何涉及双方利益的问题,南非应承担就该问题与中国进行协商的义务。其中,出口到中国的矿石是否应当征收出口税的问题即属于需要双方共同协商的问题。中国和南非的许多产业,其生存依赖于出口税。因此,两个国家应该一起研究出口税的未来,并反对欧盟与美国旨在WTO层面限制或禁止出口税的游说。 The bilateral agreement signed by South Africa and China shows that South Africa should undertake its obligation to consult with China on this issue, regardless of bilateral or multilateral issues involving any two parties’ interests. Among them, the export of ore to China whether the export tax should be imposed on the issue that belongs to both parties need to consult the issue. Many industries in China and South Africa depend on export taxes for their existence. Therefore, the two countries should work together to study the future of export tax and oppose lobbying between the EU and the United States aimed at restricting or banning export taxes at the WTO level.
