What about the recent tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese tires? President Barack Obama’s decision to introduce steep duties (set at 35% in the first year) in response to a US International Trade Commission ruling (sought by US labor unions) has been widely criticized as stoking the protectionist fires.
那么近期美国对中国轮胎加税又如何呢？在回应由美国工会提出的有关美国国际贸易委员会的裁决上，奥巴马总统决定采取逐级增加的方式（第一年是35%）来对中国进口的轮胎征税。大家都认为，这种举动挑起了保护主义的战火。
