中国威胁要处罚美国汽车制造商

China is threatening to fine a US automaker for monopolistic behaviour in what some analysts are calling a warning by Beijing in response to heightened tension with the incoming US administration of president-elect Donald Trump.

中国威胁要处罚一家美国汽车制造商的垄断行为，一些分析师称，此举是北京方面发出的一个警告，矛头指向给双边关系带来紧张的美国当选总统唐纳德.特朗普(Donald Trump)及其领导的新一届行政当局。

Zhang Handong, director of Beijing’s powerful regulator the National Development and Reform Commission’s price supervision bureau, declined yesterday in an interview to name the company.

掌握实权的中国监管机构——国家发展和改革委员会(NDRC)的价格监督检查与反垄断局局长张汉东昨日在接受采访时拒绝说明是哪一家公司。

However, he told the state-run China Daily newspaper said investigators had found that the carmaker had given instructions to its distributors to fix prices as far back as 2014.

然而，他告诉官方的《中国日报》，调查人员发现这家汽车制造商早在2014年就指示经销商固定价格。

Analysts speculated the timing of the interview may have something to do with Mr Trump’s support for Taiwan.

分析人士猜测，这一采访的时机可能与特朗普支持台湾有某种关联。

The government chose this timing because this is a transitional period for US-China relations, said Zhong Shi, an independent automotive analyst in Beijing.

政府选择了这个时机，因为现在是美中关系的一个过渡期，北京的独立汽车分析师钟师表示。

By targeting the US automakers from among all the companies out there, China is taking pre-emptive action to show that Beijing is capable of taking control of trade.

在那么多公司中挑出美国公司作为执法对象，说明中国正在采取先发制人的行动，表明北京方面有能力控制贸易。

However, Mr Zhang said: No one should read anything improper into the timing of penalty decisions or businesses that are targeted, and emphasised that both Chinese and foreign businesses were being held to account for anti-competitive behaviour.

然而，张汉东称，任何人都不应该对处罚时机或对象有错误解读，并强调说，中外企业的反竞争行为都会受到追究。

Mr Trump a fortnight ago broke nearly 40 years of protocol when he accepted a congratulatory telephone call from Taiwan’s leader Tsai Ing-wen — a move that irked Beijing, which regards Taiwan as an inalienable part of China.

两周前，特朗普打破近40年的外交惯例，接听了台湾领导人蔡英文(Tsai Ing-wen)的道贺电话，此举引起北京方面不快，后者认为台湾是中国不可分割的一部分。

Last weekend, Mr Trump went a step further and questioned the One China policy, under which the US withdrew diplomatic recognition of Taiwan in 1979 in favour of Beijing.

上周末，特朗普更进一步，质疑一个中国政策，美国正是按照这项政策在1979年撤销对台湾的外交承认，转而承认北京方面。

China hit back, saying the policy was the bedrock of relations between the two countries.

中国作出回击，称该政策是两国关系的基石。

An editorial in the same paper on Tuesday urged Mr Trump to consider the importance of close economic ties between China and the US, rather than trying to gain an upper hand in what is essentially a win-win relationship.

《中国日报》周二在一篇社评中敦促特朗普考虑中美之间密切经济关系的重要性，而不是试图在本质上双赢的关系中占上风。

History proves that what is good for Sino-US relations is good for their economies, it said, adding that Chinese customers bought more than a third of the almost 10m vehicles General Motors sold worldwide last year.

该报称，历史证明，对中美关系有利的，对两国的经济也有利，并补充称，中国顾客购买了通用汽车(General Motors)去年在全球销售的近1000万辆汽车的三分之一以上。

Janet Lewis of Macquarie Securities, speculated that the target could be either Ford or GM, both of which are major automobile sellers to China.

麦格理证券(Macquarie Securities)的珍妮特.刘易斯(Janet Lewis)推测，发改委的处罚对象可能是福特(Ford)或通用，两家都是中国汽车市场的大型卖家。

However, both have been aggressively discounting their sales recently, which does not support suggestion of monopolistic behaviour.

然而，这两家公司近来都在销售中积极提供折扣，这与垄断行为的说法不符。
