Joe Sternberg: 我认为多年来美中贸易关系存在重大问题，如知识产权盗窃和市场壁垒，但关税升级并未解决这些问题。特朗普政府最终意识到美中经济紧密相连，强制脱钩代价巨大，因此选择缓和局势。然而，这并未解决根本问题，只是为双方提供了一个喘息之机。普遍的10%关税仍然高于以往，消费者将面临关税带来的痛苦，这可能会影响圣诞购物季。 Alicia Finley: 我认为美国将面临来自中国的商品短缺，中国经济也受到打击。这次关税削减只是暂缓，未来走向不明。如果关税恢复，脱钩和贸易放缓将继续。许多公司可能会利用这段时间储备库存，导致贸易逆差增加。此外，中国还可能采取其他报复措施，如限制稀土出口和进行反垄断调查，对美国仍有影响力。关税正在产生有害影响，制造不确定性，使商业投资变得困难。长期来看，受保护行业竞争力将下降，不确定性会影响商业投资和消费者信心。
