美国94名CEO 公开致信奥巴马习近平2015年09月18日 01:01 法广中文网小 中 大
美中贸易全国委员会和保尔森中心9月15日同步发布给习近平和奥巴马的一封信,该信有94家美国大公司CEO签名,他们支持高标准的美中投资协定。在信中,CEO们呼吁两国领导人强调投资协定的重要性。从美中贸易全国委员会官网上看到,这94家大公司名单包括了美国几乎所有的重要企业,包括工业企业波音公司、美国铝业、通用电气、福特汽车、卡特彼勒、霍尼韦尔、西屋电气、哈雷摩托车、埃克斯美孚;IT巨头英特尔、IBM、Facebook、思科、苹果、惠普、英威达;食品企业雅培、可口可乐、百事可乐、好时、强生、美赞臣;金融集团高盛、摩根大通、美国国际集团、美国运通公司、花旗集团、摩根士丹利、穆迪、维萨、万事达以及宝洁、安利、沃尔玛、彭博社、孟山都、辉瑞等知名企业。(完整名单附后) CEO们指出,1978年中国改革开放以来,两国经贸关系稳步增长,成为美中关系的基础。两国现在超过6000亿美元的商品和服务贸易(每年)。因为这个稳固的基础,在各种压力下,在外交紧张时期,甚至严重的经济危机时,中美经贸保持了稳定。我们完全相信,两国应采取必要的措施来维护、加强和扩大这种关系。 CEO称,他们强烈支持美中迅速达成有意义和高水准的投资协定。高水准的BIT有清晰的规定,可以对两国的投资者提供相同的待遇和一系列的免责条款,是对两国经济产生直接和切实影响的关键因素。2005年,中国商业部社会科学院美国研究所专家组推出了一份《美国贸易政策评估报告》。报告指出,美国贸易法具有较明显的单边主义色彩,有违多边法律体制。分部门评估,由银行业、保险业、证券业组成的美国金融服务业,仍然存在严格的市场准入和经营业务限制,对外国经营者形成不公平竞争。 日前,美国政府通过放松管制促进商业航天发展主要体现在削减进入壁垒、鼓励有效竞争方面,表现为降低市场准入、克服技术障碍、放松投资管制,扩大技术合作范围。 美国企业家希望利用中国国家主席习近平访美的机会,给美中经济发展带来新的契机。 此次中国国家主席访美,网络安全、人民币汇率等议题都是主要议题。此前,美国财长雅克布·卢曾表示,中国处理人民币汇率问题的方式一直令人非常忧虑,中国应该允许由市场力量驱动人民币汇率上下浮动,而非政府人为干预。他还说,中国应该对自己在币值问题上的行动负责,因为汇率变动具有现实的政治和经济影响。 以下为公开信全文和签名的企业CEO名录(英文):Dear President Obama and President Xi: On the eve of President Xi’s state visit to the United States, we want to reiterate the importance of strong and mutually-beneficial trade and investment ties between our two countries. As the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China need a positive and enduring commercial relationship, which is an essential anchor for global economic growth. Since China’s reform and opening up began in 1978, bilateral trade and economic relations have grown steadily to become the foundation of the US-China relationship. Our two countries now trade over $600 billion of goods and services. It is because of this robust foundation that throughout the various strains on the relationship, periods of diplomatic tension, and even a severe economic crisis, the economic relationship has endured and remained steady. We fully believe that it is in both of our countries’ interest to take the necessary steps to maintain, strengthen, and expand that relationship. As such, we firmly support the rapid conclusion of a meaningful and high-standard Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) between our two countries. As we look at the range of issues on the bilateral agenda, a high-standard BIT – with clear provisions providing equal treatment to each country’s investors and a short list of exceptions – is one of the key items that could make an immediate and tangible impact for both of our economies. Just as China’s accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001 stimulated dramatic growth in bilateral trade, concluding a BIT agreement will provide greater transparency and consistency to our respective investment regimes. We believe that increased cross-border investment flows will create economic growth and jobs, lending new momentum to the commercial relationship and fortifying the economic foundation already built. We hope that significant progress can be made on this historic agreement during President Xi’s visit in September.
