The United States is deeply concerned, following the minimal results of its “strategic economic dialogue” with China in May, and Congress is threatening tough protectionist measures. The European Union may not be far behind; much will depend on how China presents its case over the coming 18 months as the two sides negotiate a wide-ranging Partnership Cooperation Agreement, which will determine the quality of bilateral relations for the next decade.
贸易摩擦继续上升。美国在五月份与中国的“战略经济对话”后收效甚微，对此严重关切。美国国会正威胁采取严厉的保护主义措施。欧盟也并不落后；很大程度上取决于中国在未来的18个月内双方谈判达成范围广泛的合作夥伴协议时如何解释说明。这一协议将会决定未来十年中双边关系的质量。
