美问题都看到了，在了解这些问题的时候，大家也带着各自不同的想法和立场，今天我
从制度角度来看，通过回顾中美经贸关系的过往，希望能帮助大家把变化的经济环境、
经济力量以及地缘政治、意识形态等其他问题纳入分析框架，从而全面理解一下中美经
贸关系走到现在，到底有哪些坚实的基础？问题为什么重新被提出来？曾经是如何成功
把政治和经济问题区隔开分别处理？今后国内政策怎么调整、往哪一个方面调整？
下一步中美关系怎么走？很重要的一点是要读对方的思路，如果完全自说自话，那做出
的判断只能不断地试错。对于中美经贸关系，我个人看法，最终解决问题还是要通过谈

经济大事、产业结构之外，还有是它依据的法律中，哪些法律不成熟、有问题、过时了

2018-05-05 马晓野 虎嗅网
《金融时报》报道显示，2017年美中货物与服务的贸易逆差为3370亿美元。特朗普提出
，美国计划从6月1日开始的一年时间里把美中逆差削减1000亿美元；在2019年6月至
2020年5月之间再削减1000亿美元。态度不可谓不坚决。而中方则试图让华盛顿放松对
中国投资的国家安全审查强度，最终，为期两天的中美贸易谈判并没有形成共识。
实际上早在2016年，欧盟将对华政策评估后就提出要“对等”，在特朗普上台后，继续
强调“市场机制、竞争机制”的对等。甚至用出了“mirror”一词，指镜子、建立镜像
。这在本质上和中方强调“互利”不同。而另一方面，现有的制度和体系很难改变顺差
的现状，如何利用自身优势制订新的规则，是需要考虑的问题。
