Rule out, exclude, to percent, by percent 활용법 (feat.미국 근황, 뉴욕타임즈 tariff on china)

Do you know that U.S. steel firms have asked for a 40% across-the board tariff for four years on a broad range of steel imports?

미국 철강 회사들이 수입 철강 제품에 대해 40%라는 미친 관세를 부과할 것을 요구해 온 것을 알고 있나요?

이뿐만 아니라 전세계에서는 관세는 정말 산업과 경기에 큰 영향을 미치고 한 기업의 흥망성쇠가 달려있는 큰 사안입니다. 그만큼 중요하지요.

 

오늘 신물을 읽다가 읽은 내용에 대해 나누려고 합니다.

 

미국이 트럼프 행정부의 중국에 대한 압박으로 사용했던 세금 카드를 당분간 유지할 전망으로 보인다.

U.S. Signals Little Thaw in Trade Relations With China

The Biden administration said it would not immediately remove the Trump administration’s tariffs and would require that Beijing uphold its trade commitments.

By  Ana Swanson  and  Keith Bradsher / Oct. 4, 2021,  5:00 a.m. ET

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration offered its strongest signal yet that the United States’ combative economic approach toward China would continue, with senior administration officials saying that President Biden would not immediately lift tariffs on Chinese goods and that he would hold Beijing accountable for trade commitments agreed to during the Trump administration.

The comments, in a call with reporters on Sunday, provided one of the first looks at how the Biden administration plans to deal with a rising economic and security threat from China. They indicated that while Mr. Biden may have criticized the Trump administration’s aggressive approach, his White House will continue trying to counter China’s economic threats with trade barriers and other punitive measures.

바이든은 트럼프를 싫어했지만, 중국을 견제하기 위해 중국을 향한 경제적 압박을 계속할것이라고 한다.

역시 공공의 적을 위해, 타협하는 것이 국룰인가?

음, 그런 이건 중국이 미국에서 물건을 구매하기로 하고 사지 않은 그런 것들의 총계인가?

percentage 백분율, 비율이라는 뜻으로 명사로서 a large, a small 과 같은 크기와 양을 설명해주는 형용사오 같이 쓰임

예) A large percentage of the population has been exposed to covid-19 . 

 

가장 중요한 by ~, to~ %

예를들어,
오늘 하루 일급 10만원을 받던 사람이 20만원인 경우는
1000달러에서 2000달러가 되는 것과 같으니
이것에 대해 이야기 해봅시다

a salary incease of $1000 : 절대적인 수치로 나타낸 표현

a salary increase of 100% : 상대적 비율로 표현한 경우

만약에 2000달러가 아닌 2200 달러로 인상한 경우를 예를 들어보면

my salary has been increased by 10 percent

 

이것의 의미는 원래 임금 임상분 100%에 10% 만큼 올라서 실제로는 110% 가 오른 것입니다.(= 2100달러)

이것을 영어로 표현하면

 

my salary has been increased to 110%

my salary has been increased by 10% of its old rate. 

 

 

즉 확실히 하기 위해서는, 다음과 같습니다.

 

my salary has been increased by 10 percentage points.

That includes requiring China to uphold commitments it agreed to as part of the Phase 1 trade deal that it signed with the United States in January 2020. So far, China is on pace to fall short of its 2021 purchasing commitments by more than 30 percent, after falling short by more than 40 percent last year, according to Chad P. Bown, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, who tracks the purchases.However, in a move that would offer some relief to businesses that import Chinese products, the administration said it would re-establish an expired process that gives some companies a reprieve by excluding them from the tariffs. Trade officials would make those decisions based on the priorities of the Biden administration, officials said, without elaborating further.

Katherine Tai, the United States trade representative, is expected to begin talking with her Chinese counterparts in the coming days about the country’s failure to live up to its agreements, senior administration officials said. Officials did not rule out the possibility of imposing further tariffs on China if talks with did not produce the desired results, warning Beijing that they would use all available tools to defend the United States from state-directed industrial policies that harm its workers.China denies that it has failed to live up to the Phase 1 agreement, contending that the pandemic has created unique circumstances.The Biden administration has been drawing up an investigation into China’s use of subsidies under Section 301 of U.S. trade law. If it is carried out, that inquiry could result in additional tariffs on China, according to people familiar with the plans.In excerpts that were released on Monday morning in Washington from a planned speech later in the morning, Ms. Tai said that, “For too long, China’s lack of adherence to global trading norms has undercut the prosperity of Americans and others around the world.”“We continue to have serious concerns with China’s state-centered and nonmarket trade practices that were not addressed in the Phase 1 deal,” she added.

Last week, Gina Raimondo, the commerce secretary, pointed to China’s blocking of its airlines from buying “tens of billions of dollars” of products from Boeing.
