Stufenweiser Abbau der Strafzölle zwischen USA und China

By Duncan Mil

November 8, 2019 - US und China haben einen stufenweisen Abbau der jeweiligen Strafzölle vereinbart, indessen gehen Verhandlungen weiter um die für Dezember geplante Zollerhöhung auf chinesische Konsumgüter über $156 Millionen zu vermeiden.

Officials are discussing rolling back 15 per cent levies on $112bn of Chinese goods -- including imports of clothing, appliances, and flatscreen monitors -- imposed in September to secure a ceasefire in President Donald Trumps trade war with China. Washington has already suspended a planned increase in tariffs on $250bn of goods from 25 per cent to 30 per cent that was due to take effect on October 15.

U.S. trade with China continued to fall in October amid the escalating dispute. Data released Friday showed U.S. exports to China at $9.4 billion and imports down at $35.8 billion. The trade deficit with China contracted in the month to $26.4 billion from $31.6 billion in September.

The two sides continue to negotiate over where and when a “Phase One” deal would be signed, Tommy Xie, an economist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp., told Bloomberg.

“The question right now is what the two sides have agreed on -- the market’s focus has shifted to how the U.S. may react to China’s tariff remarks tonight or in coming days,” said Xie.
