美国政府日前决定,不对中国轴承传动器实施配额限制。布什总统在2003年初向美国贸易代表办事处发出的备忘中表示,向美国国内本土轴承传动器生产商提供保障并不合乎美国经济利益,对国内产业既无大帮助,又可能损害购买轴承传动器的下游工业,以及影响使用有关制成品的伤残与年老人士。观察家认为,此举反映了美国政府避免中美贸易陷入纠纷、恶化双方关系的意愿。 The U.S. government recently decided not to impose quotas on Chinese bearing actuators. In his memorandum to the U.S. Trade Representative Office in early 2003, President Bush said providing safeguards to domestic bearings manufacturers in the United States is not in the United States economic interest and would not be of any help to the domestic industry, nor would it hurt the purchase of bearings Downstream industries, as well as disabled and elderly people who affect the use of manufactured goods. Observers believe the move reflects the U.S. government’s intention to prevent Sino-U.S. Trade from getting into a dispute and deteriorating its relations.
