中国国家统计局:中国经济第一季度增长5.4%,超过预期,但美国的高额关税将对经济造成短期压力。中国经济具有稳定基础、强大韧性和巨大潜力,能够应对外部挑战,实现既定发展目标。 盛雷云:虽然美国的高关税会对中国的对外贸易和经济造成一定的短期压力,但这不会改变中国经济长期持续改善的大趋势。中国经济基础稳固,韧性强,潜力巨大,我们有实力、有能力、有信心应对外部挑战,实现既定的发展目标。 Katie Silver:中国经济第一季度增长数据好于预期,这可能与消费者提前购买商品以规避关税有关。中国已任命李成钢为新的国际贸易谈判代表,这在当前环境下具有重要意义,但他面临着巨大的挑战。 Li Chenggang (间接提及): 作为中国新的国际贸易谈判代表,李成钢肩负着在复杂国际环境下,特别是面对高额关税的压力下,维护中国贸易利益的重任。他过去的经验,包括在WTO和与美国白宫的谈判经历,将对他的工作有所帮助。 Sky Canaves: 中国制造商正在利用TikTok等平台直接接触美国消费者,鼓励他们绕过中间商直接购买中国商品,以降低关税的影响。虽然直接从中国制造商购买商品可以节省成本,但对美国消费者来说存在语言障碍、支付、交付和客户服务等诸多挑战。中国制造商这么做的目的,既是为了规避关税,也是因为他们面临巨大的关税压力。

From the BBC World Service: China says its economy grew by 5.4% in the first three months of this year, but analysts warn the economy will slow in the second quarter as the effects of President Donald Trump's 145% tariffs on Chinese goods are felt. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturers are taking to TikTok to urge American consumers to bypass intermediary retailers like Shein, Temu or Amazon and buy directly from them.
