We have news on trade. China is going to be cutting tariffs on hundreds of products while President Trump says phase one(中美第一阶段贸易协议) will be signed very shortly. All good news there Hillary Vaughn with the latest from DC(哥伦比亚特区). Hi, Hillary.
Hi, David. This is coming from China's Customs Tariff Commission(国务院关税税则委员) announcing today that starting in the new year they will cut import tariffs on about 860 differing products. Some of those import taxes will be reduced all the way down to zero.
The types of products that they are targeting, food products, pharmaceuticals, and also some hi-tech products. They are also going to see import taxes go down starting in mid-summer, July 1st, 2020.
These import tax reductions apply to food products like frozen pork. China's been hit with sweeping problems with swine flu(猪流感), so, that's something they are looking to bring in as well, frozen avocados(牛油果), non-frozen orange juice. Those are some of the food products.
You also look in some pharmaceuticals as well, medicines that help with Asthma(哮喘), as well as diabetes(糖尿病) medication. Those tariffs will go down as well. David.
