ANA SWANSON, KEITH BRADSHER2026年9月24日周三，美国财政部长贝森特在华盛顿，准备与中国官员会晤。 Nathan Howard/ReutersScott Bessent, the Treasury secretary who is leading trade talks with China this week, said Wednesday in an interview on Fox News that the United States and China had agreed to extend a trade truce for two more months past a November deadline.周三，本周主持对华贸易谈判的美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特在接受福克斯新闻采访时表示，美中两国已同意将贸易休战协议在11月到期后再延长两个月。The truce was struck in South Korea last year after President Trump imposed steep tariffs on Chinese exports and the United States and China became embroiled in a tit-for-tat trade war. The truce has involved the United States’ suspending certain tariffs and other restrictions on the Chinese economy, and China’s agreeing to provide a steady flow of rare earth minerals needed by U.S. factories making cars, semiconductors, planes, power tools and other products.该休战协议于去年在韩国达成。在那之前，特朗普总统对中国出口商品征收了高额关税，美中两国陷入了针锋相对的贸易战。休战协议的内容包括：美国暂停对中国经济实施的部分关税及其他限制，中国则同意稳定供应美国汽车、半导体、飞机、电动工具及其他产品所需的稀土矿物。The agreement will be extended until Jan. 10, Mr. Bessent said, “to give us more time to see what we can do on the economic front.”贝森特表示，协议将延长至明年1月10日，“给我们更多时间来探讨经济领域能采取哪些措施”。Mr. Bessent gave the interview around the same time that Mr. Trump was greeting the Chinese leader Xi Jinping with a lavish ceremony at an air base outside Washington for the start of a multiday state visit.贝森特接受采访时，特朗普总统正在华盛顿郊外的一个空军基地举行盛大仪式，迎接中国国家主席习近平，他将进行为期数天的国事访问。The visit will include another welcome ceremony with an honor guard at the White House, a meeting between the two presidents, a state dinner and a tour of the National Archives. It may be the second of as many as four in-person meetings that the two leaders will host this year, Mr. Bessent said.此次访问行程还包括在白宫举行的另一场由仪仗队护卫的欢迎仪式、两国元首会晤、国宴以及参观国家档案馆。贝森特表示，两位领导人今年可能进行多达四次的面对面会晤，这是其中的第二次。Chinese officials have not yet confirmed the extension of the trade truce. In a statement issued by Chinese state media after he arrived in the United States, Mr. Xi called for Beijing and Washington to focus on cooperation, and said he was looking forward to in-depth exchanges with Mr. Trump.中国官方尚未证实延长贸易休战协议。习近平抵达美国后通过中国官方媒体发表声明，呼吁北京和华盛顿聚焦合作，并表示期待与特朗普总统进行深入交流。The Treasury secretary said he met again today with He Lifeng, the Chinese vice premier, whom he had also met with on Sunday, “to see if we could do a bigger deal.” Mr. Bessent said that the two sides were working to reduce tariffs on $30 billion of imports from each country, and that the countries would probably also make announcements relating to financial services and agricultural purchases.财政部长表示，他周三再次与中国副总理何立峰举行了会晤（两人周日也曾会面），“看看我们能否达成一项更大的协议”。贝森特表示，双方正在努力削减各自国家价值300亿美元进口商品的关税，且两国可能还会就金融服务和农产品采购发布相关声明。Mr. Bessent admitted that China was “behind schedule” on some agricultural purchases, and he said the United States was encouraging the country to increase those.贝森特承认，中国在某些农产品采购方面“落后于进度”，他表示美国正在鼓励中国加大采购力度。协议将使美国和中国能够搁置分歧，迎接未来几周的四项重要事宜。对美国而言，包括11月3日的中期选举和12月14日至15日在迈阿密举行的二十国集团领导人峰会。The agreement will allow the United States and China to put aside their differences through four major events in the coming weeks. For the United States, that includes the midterm elections on Nov. 3 and the Group of 20 summit of world leaders in Miami on Dec. 14 and 15.对中国而言，这包括10月26日至29日在北京举行的中共二十届五中全会，以及11月18日至19日在深圳举行的亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议。For China, that includes the annual gathering of the Communist Party’s Central Committee in Beijing from Oct. 26 to 29 and the summit of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation presidents and prime ministers in Shenzhen, China, on Nov. 18 and 19.如果华盛顿峰会进展顺利，预计特朗普和习近平将分别出席对方在深圳和迈阿密举办的会议。这些会晤或许能为两位领导人及其首席贸易谈判代表提供更多机会，在1月10日之前达成更多协议。If the current summit in Washington goes well, Mr. Trump and Mr. Xi are tentatively expected to attend each other’s events in Shenzhen and Miami. Those gatherings might provide more chances for the two leaders and their top trade negotiators to pursue more deals before Jan. 10.当被问及中国是否会同意贝森特上周末宣布的关于人工智能相关国家安全问题的新通报机制时，他表示相信中方会同意，并称中国“非常渴望”在人工智能领域与美国展开接触。Asked if China would agree to a new notification system for national security issues related to artificial intelligence that Mr. Bessent announced last weekend, he said he believed that they would and that China was “very eager” to engage with the United States on A.I.贝森特还说，美国正与中国合作明确最重要的人工智能风险，包括不受控制的人工智能智能体，以及非国家行为体利用人工智能发动网络攻击或制造生物武器等。他表示，希望美中两国“能够就已发生的任何事件进行沟通，特别是那些涉及跨国的事件”。Zolan Kanno-Youngs对本文有报道贡献。Ana Swanson报道贸易和国际经济新闻，常驻华盛顿。她从事新闻工作已超过十年。Keith Bradsher是《纽约时报》北京分社社长，此前曾任上海分社社长、香港分社社长、底特律分社社长，以及华盛顿记者。他在新冠疫情期间常驻中国进行报道。翻译：纽约时报中文网点击查看本文英文版。
