少年四大名捕Biden May Ease Chinese Tariffs to Curb Inflation Despite Skeptics Urging Further Pressure on Beijing_我的网站
一 | 中国小康网讯 记者张玉荣 实习记者郑佩瑜 4月19日上午，三亚市“8590”青年干部读书班（第二期）组织50名学员来到育才生态区榴莲种植基地参观调研。 President Joe Biden is expected to roll back some Trump-era tariffs on Chinese imports as early as next week, according to insiders cited by The Wall Street Journal.,The decision, which could include a pause on tariffs on consumer goods ranging from clothing to school supplies, would likely be complemented by a broader policy allowing importers to request tariff waivers, added the report.,The decision is believed to be prompted by the need to address sky-rocketing inflation, which rose unexpectedly last month to a fresh four-decade high of 8.6%, according to the US Labor Department.,However, the move will attempt to strike a balance between cutting consumer costs while maintaining pressure on Beijing, stated the publication.,The timing of the reported announcement is linked to a mandatory four-year statutory review of tariffs set in place under then-President Donald Trump by the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR). It issued a Federal Register notice in May to initiate the first step of the process to determine whether China tariffs “issued pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974” should be continued beyond the 4-year mark since their implementation.,Thus, claimed the report, the Biden administration will be provided with an opportunity to ‘calibrate its policy’ before the comment period for businesses and others who have benefited from the tariffs closes on July 5.,‘Split’ Over China Tariff,Joe Biden’s decision regarding China tariffs has been delayed up until now due to deep divisions within his own administration on this issue, according to WH officials and trade experts cited by the outlet.,US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in June revealed that the administration was looking at ways to ‘reconfigure' the tariffs to help curb inflation, adding that some of the restrictions inherited from the administration of the 45th POTUS were not ‘strategic’ and failed to address China’s ‘unfair trade practices.’,“Reconfiguring some of those tariffs so they make more sense and reducing unnecessary burdens is something that’s under consideration,” Ms. Yellen said in an interview with ABC News on June 19.,Still earlier, on June 8 Yellen told the House Ways and Means Committee hearing she expected the Biden administration to have additional information on its plans ‘in the coming weeks.’,“I think some reductions may be warranted,” Yellen said of the tariffs, claiming that the cost of certain duties on China ended up being paid by Americans. Her stance has been reportedly supported by Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.,Scholar: Biden's Plan to Lift China Tariffs Shows US Can't Take on Beijing and Moscow at Once24 June, 16:21 GMT,Proponents of tariff slashing believe that it could signal Biden’s resolve to fight inflation and boost the Democratic president’s plummeting approval rating ahead of the November midterms.,However, opposing a paring back of the tariffs are US Trade Representative Katherine Tai and National security adviser Jake Sullivan, reported WSJ. Tai has repeatedly defended the tariffs as a useful tool for achieving concessions from China.,“The China tariffs are, in my view, a significant piece of leverage, and a trade negotiator never walks away from leverage,” Tai told a Senate subcommittee meeting on June 22.,According to skeptics, a mulled tariff cut should be complemented by specific measures. The suggested options ostensibly include raising tariffs on strategic items such as industrial machinery and transportation equipment, while lowering duties on consumer goods.,Furthermore, tariffs on a new set of products could be derived from a fresh US probe under Section 301 of the Trade Act focusing on China’s industrial subsidies on high-tech items, stated the report.,However, economists doubt that easing Chinese tariffs would have a dramatic impact on inflation.,Leading US Unions Urge Biden Administration Not to Ease Tariffs on Chinese Goods7 June, 12:23 GMT,Peterson Institute for International Economics analysts Megan Hogan and Yilin Wang were cited as saying that removing tariffs on Chinese imports could bring down the consumer-price index inflation by no more than a marginal 0.26 percentage points. However, subsequently, “as US corporations trim their markups to compete with imports,” that might result in a 1-percentage-point reduction in inflation, experts added.,In his trade war with China over its purportedly unfair trading practices, former President Donald Trump imposed over four rounds of levies between July 2018 and September 2019. Targeting Chinese imports worth an estimated $370 billion, they ranged from 7.5% to 25%.,Trump’s actions were based on the findings of a Section 301 investigation into China’s practices related to technology transfer and intellectual property.,Despite the US and China penning a trade deal in 2020, Washington had kept intact most levies on Chinese imports ostensibly to ensure compliance with the accord’s provisions. Beijing has argued that the tariffs hurt both countries.,“With inflation rates running high across the globe, the U.S. needs to lift all the additional tariffs imposed on China, as this will serve the interests of businesses and consumers and benefit both countries and the world at large,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a June 15 press conference.。
二 | 活动现场 一下车，大家三五成群地围住育才生态区榴莲种植基地工作人员频频发问。在基地小广场上，瞬间形成了几个小方队，一问一答，热闹非凡。山间小路上，曾经到访过的学员同其他学员分享着考察经验。
三 | 不一会，大家来到基地水肥一体化智能灌溉系统管理设备点。“榴莲树喜湿怕涝。能否成活关键在于精准灌溉。”基地工作人员介绍说，他们对多个榴莲品种适应区域的光照、温度、湿度等气候因素开展了数字化比对研究，找出各自的优劣势，以便更好地破解三亚榴莲种植的短板。“基地安装了28套土壤墒情监测仪，根据数据反馈情况，按照榴莲树生长环境设定用水量并通过智能灌溉机实现精准灌溉。” 基地工作人员一边介绍，一边带领大家来到一处仪器站。“目前，基地安装了虫情测报仪、环境检测气象站等，采集基地环境数据，再通过数据指挥中心实现数字化、智能化种植。”“利用现代光、电、数控等技术，实现害虫诱捕、虫体远红外自动处理，并实时将虫害情况上传云平台对害虫种类、数量、趋势进行分析，若分析结果异常会实时报警通知，实现虫情变化的监测及预防。”在1台虫情测报仪前，几名学员仔细研究，探讨基地数字化、智能化防治虫情的新技术。 太阳能振频杀虫灯、环境监测气象站、土壤墒情监测站、太阳能虫情测报仪、智能灌溉主机及水位监测、孢子捕捉仪……榴莲种植各种“保植”大数据，不断在学员们眼前呈现。 在参观调研中，学员们对“新质生产力赋能热带特色高效农业发展”的概念逐渐明晰。“每一株茂盛的榴莲树，每一个饱满的果实，都似乎在诉说着现代农业与科技的融合故事。”读书班学员陈奇益表示，新质生产力如何改变和重塑热带特色高效农业，三亚榴莲是一个典范实践。 “育才生态区榴莲基地为我们打开了一个全新的视野。无论是精准施肥、智能灌溉，还是病虫害防治，都体现出一种前所未有的精准和高效。与此同时，智能化管理手段的应用，也使得榴莲的生长过程得到了全程监控和调度，确保了产量和品质的双重提升。”陈奇益表示，新质生产力的注入将推动农业向数字化、智能化、绿色化方向发展，形成独特的农业王牌力量。三亚的热带特色高效农业也必将迎来更加广阔的发展空间和无限可能。
