@Rob Young : 我是Rob Young,本期节目将关注中美两国之间的贸易战升级,以及由此引发的全球市场动荡。中国宣布对美国商品征收34%的报复性关税,美国国务卿则为特朗普政府的策略进行了辩护。此外,我们还将探讨印度和莱索托在应对美国关税方面的不同策略。 @周磊 :中国此次采取强硬的反制措施,既是为了展示自身实力,也是为了在谈判中占据更有利的地位。虽然中国是全球最大的出口国,需要保持全球市场的开放,但其目标仍然是与美国达成协议。美国对中国的贸易逆差巨大,而中国购买的美国商品中,农业产品受关税影响尤为严重。特朗普总统的关税措施超出了预期,中国政府将不得不采取更大规模的经济刺激计划来应对。中国企业家们对目前的局势感到非常担忧,正在重新考虑供应链问题。 @Colleen McHugh :全球市场对中美贸易战的升级感到担忧,担心其他国家也会采取类似的报复措施,引发全球贸易战。银行股价下跌是因为市场担心关税可能导致经济衰退,从而导致银行盈利下降。油价下跌是因为市场担心关税可能导致经济衰退,从而降低石油需求。 @Anup Wadhawan :美国对印度实施新关税损害了双方贸易谈判的良好氛围和诚意。印度不会为了达成贸易协议而做出任何让步,贸易协议应该是一个平衡且互利的过程。印度作为发展中国家,有必要对某些商品征收关税以保护本国产业,并认为美国忽视了印度在服务和知识产权等领域做出的让步。全球化是不可避免的趋势,虽然可能会出现一些调整,但它仍然是必要的。 @Graham MacDonald :JCB公司将扩大其在德克萨斯州的工厂规模,以应对美国关税的影响。 @Brian Panabekker :我支持特朗普总统的关税计划,认为这将有助于将生产带回美国。 @Dmitry Grozybinsky :每个国家都应该根据自身情况制定应对美国关税的策略,中国和印度的应对方法有所不同。中美贸易战将对双方都造成损害,中国企业和美国消费者都将受到影响。中国向WTO投诉是其多方面策略的一部分,旨在施压美国并维护国际规则。美国大幅提高关税使得谈判变得困难,因为谈判的基础发生了变化。 @Thabo Kessy :美国对莱索托商品征收50%的关税,将严重损害莱索托的纺织服装产业,导致企业倒闭和失业。一些莱索托企业已经因为关税问题而倒闭。莱索托政府将派代表团前往美国进行谈判,试图推翻关税决定。关税措施将对莱索托的多个行业造成负面影响,引发广泛的担忧。 @Graham Fraser :TikTok面临被禁的风险,因为美国政府担心其中国所有者可能会访问大量用户数据。

Global stock markets have continued to plunge in response to President Trump's tariff announcement. This comes as China has announced retaliation tax of 34% against the United States for the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

However, India is taking a different approach to China, although it was hoping to reach a deal with the US before Trump imposed 27% tariffs. Rob Young will hear from a former India Commerce Secretary. And what does it mean for Lesotho, the 50% tariffs imposed on the small Southern African country? The CEO of the Private Sector Foundation of Lesotho explains. And the final countdown to another TikTok ban is on, and 170 million US users' scrolling and posting is hanging in the balance again.
