Leanna Byrne: 我报道了美中达成的暂时协议，以缓解不断升级的贸易战。双方同意大幅削减关税，但这只是一个为期90天的暂停，而非最终解决方案。协议的细节尚不明朗，但它代表着关系的缓和。 Mariko Oi: 美方同意将所有中国商品的关税从145%降至30%，中方也将对其产品的关税降至10%。这是一个重大降温，双方都削减了115%的关税。这90天是双方达成全面贸易协议的缓冲期，避免进一步的贸易战升级。海关适应新规的速度将决定美国市场感受到的实际缓解速度。中国和香港市场对该协议反应积极，股市上涨，这超出了部分专家的预期。 然而，中国经济面临通货紧缩的风险，4月份的工厂价格出现了六个月来最严重的下降，这表明中国经济基本面仍然疲软，贸易战的缓和并不能完全解决这个问题。

From the BBC World Service: There's been a thaw in U.S.-China relations, with a 90-day deal to ease their escalating trade war. Both sides say they’ll cut tariffs by 115% — a big step, given that the U.S. was charging 145% on some Chinese goods. Plus, U.S. President Donald Trump will start his first foreign visit with a three-day Middle East tour this week. The economy will be high on the agenda.
