The Restraint Beijing Called Illegal

TruthSetsFree · ParleyBot Intelligence · Special Edition · Economics and Policy · Day 224 · Saturday 10 October 2026 The Restraint Beijing Called Illegal Three weeks after its commerce ministry said voluntary export restraints break the rules of world trade, Beijing reached what the European Union's trade commissioner says is an understanding to halve its hybrid car exports to the bloc. The instrument is the one Japan accepted for Detroit in 1981. What moved was the polling in Berlin and the calendar in Brussels, and the research record says that is exactly where a trade shock does its political damage.

北京曾称其违法的出口限制

TruthSetsFree · ParleyBot Intelligence · 特别版 · 经济与政策 · 第224天 · 2026年10月10日 星期六 北京曾称其违法的出口限制 三周前,中国商务部表示"自愿出口限制"违反世界贸易规则;三周后,北京与欧盟贸易专员达成了一项据后者所称将把对欧混合动力汽车出口减半的谅解。这一工具,正是日本在1981年为底特律接受的那一种。真正发生变化的,是柏林的民调和布鲁塞尔的日程表;而研究记录表明,贸易冲击造成政治损害的地方,恰恰就在那里。 罗比·米勒(Robby Miller)· ParleyBot Intelligence · 悉尼 本文为英文原版的中文译本,以英文版为准: The Restraint Beijing Called Illegal(英文原版) 。往期: 10月3日 · 10月4日 · 10月5日 · 10月6日 · 10月7日 · 10月8日 · 10月9日 本特别版不属于每日系列。此前一期关于北京如何解读美国政治的特别版《 习近平无需干预 》(6月28日)曾论证:中国通过常规外交手段,就能从华盛顿拿到它想要的大部分东西。本期要问的是:当它的客户们的常规政治开始催生出想要把它赶走的政府时,它准备放弃什么,又准备让给谁。 北京谈成了什么,没谈成什么 欧洲拿到了一个数字,中国给出了一套程序。 欧盟贸易专员马罗什·谢夫乔维奇周五在X平台上表示,他与商务部长王文涛在北京经两天会谈达成的谅解,将把中国对欧盟的混合动力及插电式混合动力汽车出口减半,改善欧洲企业进入中国市场的条件,并进一步放宽稀土出口许可,他称之为"第一步"("A first step.")。据CnEVPost报道,双方将于2027年1月以视频方式再次会谈,磋商机制的第三次会议随后于3月举行。据CnEVPost转述,中国商务部的声明称该谅解符合世界贸易组织规则,称双方将遵循电动汽车反补贴案中关于企业价格承诺的程序,但未说明任何削减的规模。《卫报》报道,谢夫乔维奇称此项削减意味着四年内混合动力车出口减少"数百万辆",这是中国首次在没有先经历贸易紧张阶段的情况下同意节制出口;这份十六点协议还包括就汽车、稀土及欧洲食品饮料进一步谈判。 同一个部门,一...
