China’s Agricultural Import Potential
评估中国降低贸易壁垒后从美国进口农产品的潜力，发现若取消所有壁垒，中国对美国猪肉进口额可能增加89亿美元。
As part of the current trade negotiations between the United States and China, China has suggested that it may lower trade barriers and increase agricultural imports from the United States. In this policy brief, we provide an overview of China’s tariff and non-tariff trade barriers and estimate China’s import potential if these barriers are removed. We find that China’s importation of major U.S. commodities has the potential to increase significantly. For example, in our medium-growth scenario, China will potentially increase U.S. pork import value by $8.9 billion if all trade barriers are removed.
