WASHINGTON — China will increase its purchase of American goods and services in order to reduce the multibillion-dollar trade imbalance with the United States, the two countries said in a joint statement Saturday.
华盛顿——中美两国在周六的联合声明中表示,中国将购买更多美国商品和服务,以减少与美国数千亿美元的贸易不平衡。
How much the imbalance will be reduced remains to be seen.
这种不平衡会减少多少还有待观察。
Trump administration officials had said during negotiations this week that China was prepared to make up to $200 billion in additional purchases. Notably absent from Saturday’s announcement were any dollar figures — or a sense of the scale of the agreed-upon increases.
在本周的谈判期间,特朗普政府的官员称中国准备多购买2000亿美元(约合1.3万亿元人民币)的商品和服务。值得注意的是,周六的声明中没有出现任何金额——或是商定的增加规模。
The White House said that China had committed to buying more agriculture and energy exports, but noted that American officials would at some point go to China to work out the details of their agreement.
白宫称,中国承诺购买更多农业和能源出口商品,但同时指出美国官员将在某个时候前往中国,制定协议细节。
“To meet the growing consumption needs of the Chinese people and the need for high-quality economic development, China will significantly increase purchases of United States goods and services,” said the statement. “This will help support growth and employment in the United States.”
