新闻背景:2002年3月5日,美国总统布什宣布,政府将依据美国贸易法案201条款,对钢材、长板等进口的主要钢铁品种,实施为期3年的关税配额限制或加征8%—30%不等的进口关税,并对厚钢板实行进口限制,以限制外国钢材进口。这是美国历史上对进口钢铁施加的最严重的一次贸易限制。美国此次出台的保护措施,与其一贯宣扬的自由贸易不符,引起世界各国的强烈不满乃至“报复”威胁,但美国仍一意孤行。作为入世后首次遭遇到的国际贸易磨擦,钢铁贸易战引起国内各界的广泛关注。
News Background: On March 5, 2002, US President Bush announced that the government will impose a 3-year tariff quota limit or 8% surcharge on major steel products imported from steel and plate according to Section 201 of the U.S. Trade Act - 30% ranging from the import tariffs, and the implementation of import restrictions on thick steel to limit the import of foreign steel. This is the most serious trade restriction imposed on imported steel in the history of the United States. The protection measures introduced by the United States do not conform to the free trade that it has always proclaimed. It has aroused strong dissatisfaction and even “retaliation” threats from all countries in the world. However, the United States still insists on its own course. As the first international trade friction ever encountered after China’s accession to the WTO, the steel trade war has drawn wide attention from all walks of life in China.
