“美国《***》1月23日报道称,川普***22日表示,将实施新的贸易壁垒政策,用以保护本国国内的太阳能板和洗衣机生产商不受到所谓的近来激增的廉价进口品冲击。

“对进口太阳能产品,美国将对2.5千兆瓦以内产品免保护性关税,超出2.5千兆瓦后靠前年征税30%,第二、三、四年分别降至25%、20%和15%。对于进口洗衣机,美国***将实行进口配额限制,对于每年前120万台的洗衣机征税20%,随后更多的将征税50%。

“值得关注的是,这是美国***16年来首次基于贸易保护201条款征税,主要瞄准了中国与韩国的相关行业企业。”

China is upset over President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on U.S. imports of solar panels and washing machines.

The Chinese Commerce Ministry on Tuesday expressed "strong dissatisfaction" over the move, saying it "aggravates the global trade environment."

The tariff of 30% on foreign solar panels is a blow for China, the world's biggest supplier of the products. Beijing has been widely accused of heavily subsidizing its domestic solar industry and flooding global markets with cheap panels.

The new measures -- announced Monday by top U.S. trade official Robert Lighthizer -- are Trump's first significant trade actions of 2018.
