"Actually a lot of the items in that list of 16 products have something to do with lubricants, these are the use for the motor oil lubricants for motor engines, as well as the base oil that's used for making lubricants. There are two kinds of lubricants on this list, synthetic lubricants and also the mineral-based lubricants. These are Americans' very competitive products, we actually import a lot of these lubricants from the U.S. market. So I think this list, you know represents China's very sincere wish to try to alleviate the pressure on most American companies' export, as well as Chinese companies importing them. So I think this is a very good sign and it also sends a very good signal to the coming negotiation. I think the negotiations are already going on right now, but at least for the face-to-face meeting between the minister level meeting that's coming in, in October. I think this is a very, very good sign. We actually import less than what Americans import from us, so naturally, you know, you would expect a smaller list compared to the Americans' lists. I think it's worth noting that these exemptions are retrospective. In other words, Chinese companies are going to refund the tariffs that have already been imposed so far. That's a very good sign, very good sign for Chinese importers as well as American exporters."

Storyline


China's exclusion list will alleviate pressure on both Chinese importers and exporters of the United States, said a Chinese scholar on Wednesday.

China on Wednesday unveiled its first set of lists of the U.S. goods to be excluded from the first round of additional tariffs on the U.S. products.

The exemption will become effective on Sept. 17, according to the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council.

Professor John Gong from the University of International Business and Economics shared his opinion on the significance of China's fresh exclusion list, saying that the 16 products on the list have related with lubricants.

"Actually a lot of the items in that list of 16 products have something to do with lubricants, these are the use for the motor oil lubricants for motor engines, as well as the base oil that's used for making lubricants. There are two kinds of lubricants on this list, synthetic lubricants and also the mineral-based lubricants. These are Americans' very competitive products, we actually import a lot of these lubricants from the U.S. market. So I think this list, you know represents China's very sincere wish to try to alleviate the pressure on most American companies' export, as well as Chinese companies importing them," said Gong.

As the U.S. and China will hold a high-level trade talks in October, this is a very good sign, said Gong.

"So I think this is a very good sign and it also sends a very good signal to the coming negotiation. I think the negotiations are already going on right now, but at least for the face-to-face meeting between the minister level meeting that's coming in, in October. I think this is a very, very good sign. We actually import less than what Americans import from us, so naturally, you know, you would expect a smaller list compared to the Americans' lists. I think it's worth noting that these exemptions are retrospective. In other words, Chinese companies are going to refund the tariffs that have already been imposed so far. That's a very good sign, very good sign for Chinese importers as well as American exporters," said Gong.
