After APEC: Whither US Leadership on Trade?

The Diplomat

For the United States, the November meeting of APEC was widely seen as an opportunity to demonstrate its leadership and long-term commitment to the organization and the Asia-Pacific region.

和评理｜关系逐渐回暖，中澳两国“麦”向未来

China Daily

鉴于“中国大麦市场情况发生变化”，商务部8月4日发布公告称，自2023年8月5日起，将终止对原产于澳大利亚的进口大麦征收反倾销税和反补贴税。对此，包括澳大利亚总理阿尔巴尼斯和外交部长黄英贤在内的澳方人士表示欢迎。两国关系回暖，却有国家从中挑拨，声称澳大利亚不应忘记中国曾对其实施的所谓的“胁迫”，想利用他人之手“硬刚”中国。但从中澳双方的表态来看，两国关系走向如何，已经不言自明：双方显然已经达成默契，让过去成为过去，共同着眼未来。对于两国恢复贸易、改善外交关系与合作，这无疑是重要利好。除大麦外，澳大利亚时隔两年开始对华大规模出口动力煤，澳洲龙虾也已经重回中国餐桌。实际上，自去年5月份阿尔巴尼斯上台以来，中澳双方就在共同努力，解决澳大利亚上届政府对双方关系造成的伤害，力图让两国关系重回正轨。去年11月，二十国集团领导人峰会在印度尼西亚巴厘岛举行，中澳两国领导人在此期间进行了会晤，开启了两国关系的破冰之旅，为双方下一步改善关系指明了方向。此外，阿尔巴尼斯政府已经明确表示不支持中国台湾加入《全面进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》（CPTPP），这与上届政府的立场完全不同。这是澳大利亚向中国抛出的橄榄枝，中国也给予了回应。两国关系有所改善的另一个迹象，是阿尔巴尼斯明确表示，他对访华持开放态度。中国对此应该给予认真考虑。中国虽然对澳大利亚的政策是一贯的，但也不能忽视，在美国领导的反华小团体里，几乎都有澳大利亚的身影，如美国、英国、澳大利亚三国成立的三边安全伙伴关系机制（AUKUS），美国、澳大利亚、印度和日本成立的“四方安全对话”（QUAD），以及美国、加拿大、英国、新西兰和澳大利亚组成的所谓的情报组织“五眼联盟”。无论领导人怎么变，澳大利亚加入这些小团体的事实没有变。另一个不变的事实是，一直以来，澳大利亚的最大出口市场都是中国，对华贸易额超过对日本、韩国、印度和美国贸易的总和。未来，澳大利亚的最大出口市场仍将是中国。应该意识到，要保持当前良好的发展势头，需要中澳双方发挥外交智慧，采取务实灵活的方式积极推进。本文译自《中国日报》8月6日社论原标题：Beijing and Canberra should go with the grain of their improving relations 出品：中国日报社论编辑室编译：曹静编辑：李海鹏【责任编辑：曹静】
