The White House has accused more than 40 countries, including Canada, Mexico and Japan, of helping Beijing illegally avoid US tariffs by rerouting trade through nations subject to lower American import duties than China.
美国白宫指责包括加拿大、墨西哥和日本在内的40多个国家和地区，帮助中国经由享受较低美国进口关税税率的国家转运商品，非法规避美国对华关税。
The nations and the EU were enabling the evasion of tariffs for $60bn in trade, the White House said in a report titled “The Great Transshipment Scam”. It also cited other US government and private sector reports which estimated the range of transshipment volumes from $40bn to $303bn.
白宫在一份题为《转运大骗局》(The Great Transshipment Scam)的报告中称，包括欧盟在内的这些国家和地区为价值600亿美元的贸易规避关税提供了便利。报告还援引美国政府其他部门和私营机构发布的报告称，据估算，这种转运贸易的规模在400亿至3030亿美元之间。
Peter Navarro, head of the White House office of trade and manufacturing policy that issued the report, said China had used “extremely sophisticated” ways to engage in transshipment since Donald Trump first imposed tariffs on the country in 2018.
