贸易,无疑是国家利益之所在。一国财富的增长有赖于经济增长,而经济增长的空间取决于国内消费市场的扩大和国际贸易的扩张。世界上所有国家,特别是西方发达国家,无不深谙其理。因此,贸易摩擦就绝不仅仅是自由贸易和保护主义之间的较量,而是国家利益冲突的映射。中美两国之间的贸易摩擦,小到一件家具的反倾销税,大到事关国家金融安全的汇率争端,都可归结到一个焦点,即溢出边界的两国工业体系之间的激烈竞争。 Trade is undoubtedly the place of national interest. The growth of the wealth of a country depends on economic growth, and the space for economic growth depends on the expansion of the domestic consumer market and the expansion of international trade. All countries in the world, especially the developed countries in the West, are well versed in this theory. Therefore, trade frictions are by no means merely a contest between free trade and protectionism, but a mapping of national conflicts of interest. Trade frictions between China and the United States, as little as the anti-dumping duty on a piece of furniture, as far as the exchange rate disputes that affect the country’s financial security can all be attributed to the fierce competition between the industrial systems of the two countries that spill over the border.
