More Irish companies are considering Hong Kong as a base for expansion across Asia, according to the head of the country’s chamber of commerce in the city, who described the two as “natural partners”. Padraig Seif, president of the Irish Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, said momentum was building ahead of the Asia-Pacific Irish Business Forum as Irish firms increasingly looked to Asia amid Washington’s tariff policy and the lingering effects of Brexit. “What we’ve seen is … Asia and Hong Kong...

Why Malaysia may still face trade uncertainty after US midt…
Malaysia’s hope for a shift in US trade policy is unlikely to be realised for some time, experts warn, as the new Democratic-led Congress will face strong opposition from US President Donald Trump in its attempt to reverse some of his tariff measures. Trump’s Republicans suffered their worst rout in recent times in the US midterm elections on Tuesday, losing control of both Congress and the Senate by wide margins as voters made clear their anger at Trump over surging living costs caused by the...

As I see it | Democrats’ blue wave means rough waters ahead…
Comedian Patton Oswalt once joked about the United States electing a KKK president after the progressive years of Barack Obama. It’s worth retelling, not just because it’s funny but because it captures the swing between extremes in US politics. That’s worth keeping in mind in light of the so-called Democratic blue wave sweeping the country. It goes: “We will have a woman president, probably sooner than later … but just keep in mind that after she serves her term, the choices will very probably...

Trump says US close to trade deal with Canada, Carney says…
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the United States was close to making a trade deal with Canada, but Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said work remained to be done and that Washington had dropped some demands. “Canada is very good, we’re going to make a deal with Canada very soon. We’re going to make a great deal,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News. Canada and the US have slapped billions of dollars in tariffs on each other in recent months. The imposition of tariffs on...

Why a midterm mauling for Trump will not bring Asia trade r…
Since returning to the White House in January last year, US President Donald Trump has upended the global trading order with his scattergun approach to tariffs and launched a war on Iran that sent oil prices soaring. On Tuesday, American voters hurting from nagging inflation and the high cost of living that have defined Trump’s second term have the opportunity to deliver their verdict on his Republican Party in the midterm elections. Polls suggest that the Republicans, who currently control both...

Why some EU and Chinese firms are keen to cooperate – even…
While trade tensions between Beijing and Brussels remain elevated, some European businesses are pointing to disruptions from the United States as a bigger challenge. Instead, they are seeking closer cooperation with China, even as Chinese carmakers scramble to front-load exports ahead of potential future trade barriers. At last week’s 19th Europe-China Business and Technology Cooperation Fair in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu, the appetite for closer business ties was evident. Hundreds...

美國評估進口機器人威脅國安 川普暫不課關稅尋求協商
商傳媒|責任編輯/綜合外電報導美國總統唐納·川普(Donald J. Trump)昨日簽署公告,決定針對進口機器人、工業機械及其關鍵零組件,暫不實施關稅,改由展開貿易談判。此舉是美國商務部依據《1962年貿易擴張法》第232條款,完成一項調查後的政策決定。該條款允許美國商務部調查特定進口商品是否對國家安全構成威脅,並建議總統採取貿易限制措施。 這份調查發現,美國在機器人與工業設備方面缺乏足夠的國內產能以滿足需求,導致美國高度依賴進口,這對美國的製造業基礎、國家安全及經濟福祉構成風險。公告指出,這種對進口的高度依賴,威脅了美國工業基礎,並削弱了美國在國家安全日益重要的領域中的長期競爭力。 川普總統已指示美國商務部長霍華德·盧特尼克(Howard Lutnick)和美國貿易代表賈米森·格里爾(Jamieson Greer),在未來180天內與貿易夥伴進行協商,以調整機器人及工業機械的進口情況,確保其不會損害美國國家安全。這是川普政府近三個月來第三次在232條款調查後選擇貿易談判而非直接課徵關稅,此前兩次分別涉及風力渦輪機及商用飛機與其零件。不過,川普也表明,若貿易談判結果不理想,未來仍可能考慮包括關稅在內的其他補救措施。 這項決定雖非立即實施關稅,但明確宣示美國政府正積極尋求強化國內生產。波士頓動力(Boston Dynamics)政策與政府關係副總裁布倫丹·舒爾曼(Brendan Schulman)表示,這項政策強烈預示政府將支持國內機器人供應鏈的發展。市場研究機構Interact Analysis的副總裁艾許·夏爾馬(Ash Sharma)也認為,這代表美國政府已明確將對進口機器人的依賴視為國家安全問題,並正努力推動國內生產。他強調,這不應被解讀為今日就課徵機器人關稅,而是明確指出了未來的政策走向。 前Novanta Inc.機器人策略長鮑勃·利特爾(Robert Little)指出,機器人對於任何重建製造業的國家都至關重要。他提到,目前美國國內工業機器人的製造仍有限,儘管發那科(FANUC)、Teradyne Robotics及安川電機(Yaskawa)等公司已宣布在美投資擴大生產。利特爾尤其擔憂機器人與工業機械零組件(如感測器、致動器、精密齒輪等)的國內供應缺口,認為這是美國需要大力協助以強化製造能力的關鍵領域。 美國政府強調,機器人及相關系統對美國的競爭力至關重要,對於國防、商業及軍民兩用目的的現代製造流程不可或缺,特別是自主機器人、人形機器人、四足機器人及自主地面車輛等先進機器人,均直接支援美國軍方。儘管美國在機器人產能的投資有所增加,但仍不足以滿足國內需求。若未來實施關稅或其他貿易措施,可能顯著影響供應商的競爭力、產品定價及在美製造的在地化程度,進而衝擊成品機器人及其零組件的全球供應鏈。 根據報導,機器人與工業機械在2024年創造了約7.1兆美元的製成品出貨額,並生產了約860億美元的設備。過去十年來,進口機器人系統的價值不斷增長,同時也伴隨著網路安全風險的提高。 參考來源 Trump opts for trade talks over tariffs for robotics, indust…(Supply Chain Dive) White House makes Section 232 determination regarding foreig…(The Robot Report)

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s re-election should provide continuity for the country’s trade push into Southeast Asia, analysts say, as Vietnam and Indonesia pursue preferential trade agreements with Mercosur, the South American bloc in which Brazil is the largest economy. But better access to Brazil and other Mercosur markets is far from assured, with trade experts pointing to difficult negotiations over tariffs and agricultural access, as well as political differences within...

The View | EU-China hybrid car deal won’t really help Europ…
Earlier this month, simmering trade tensions between the EU and China ease as the two sides reached an agreement in Beijing limiting hybrid car exports from China to an annual quota of 350,000 units. After the European Union imposed tariffs on fully electric cars from China in 2024, hybrid imports surged. The quota would result in more than a halving of the 800,000 hybrid cars expected to be sold this year, a figure which may soon exceed a million if unchecked. The quota would likely shift...

President Donald Trump defended his decision to wield tariffs during a campaign rally in Georgia, saying they have made the US richer, as he announced that Volkswagen agreed to build a new US$4.2 billion Audi plant in the state. “Think of that. 200,000 cars a year. That’s incredible,” Trump told a crowd in the city of Perry. “This will be the single largest investment in US auto industry history, modern history.” Later, he added, “Without tariffs, they wouldn’t be coming in.” Trump was speaking...

The Trump administration is expanding tariff exemptions to more Canadian products, a move that may help boost Republican Senator Susan Collins’ re-election campaign in Maine. Collins announced in a statement on Friday that the exemptions would apply to certain paper, plastic, machinery and seaweed products, saying they would help the state’s rural and coastal economy, including the blueberry, potato, apple and seaweed industries. “Many of our farmers and growers rely on specialised equipment,...

Each autumn, the world’s economics teams come together for the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. Last week’s gathering in Bangkok included the launch of the IMF’s World Economic Outlook (WEO). Led by IMF economists, the international economic community’s collective wisdom on the world’s economic prospects was made public. Remarkably, they expect steady growth in a time of so much uncertainty and strife. “This steady growth is the net result of two big...

Chinese carmakers, facing a European Union import quota targeting their hybrid electric vehicles (EVs), are gearing up for more local production to reinforce their go-global drive. They plan to either splash out billions of yuan to set up their own factories or tap international marques’ idle plants to build their vehicles, looking to sustain a sales boom in one of the world’s major automotive markets. “Global growth shifts from exporting vehicles to Europe to producing them locally, from...

From US threats to cut off intelligence support for Ukraine to a waiver of tariffs on Russian exports and a diesel deal that could help Russia fund its war, it has been a damaging week for ties between Kyiv and its most important ally, Washington. US President Donald Trump, frustrated by high energy costs he blames partly on Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, has repeatedly criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A disruption of US-provided satellite internet services raised...

US President Donald Trump is expected to drive hard bargains on tariffs and critical minerals in his return to the Asean summit in Manila next month, with Washington seeking greater economic and strategic concessions while remaining hawkish on China.

With the US set to lower tariffs on US$30 billion worth of shipments from China, Chinese exporters said this week they expected a new wave of orders from American buyers and planned to reactivate idle factory capacity. Many among the 32,000-plus Chinese exhibitors and 210,000 preregistered foreign buyers at the twice-yearly Canton Fair, China’s oldest and biggest trade exhibition, shared that upbeat outlook this week – though it was tempered by stiffer headwinds from the European market.

The most consequential outcome of President Xi Jinping’s Washington visit might be his US counterpart Donald Trump’s unusually lavish welcome. It told Beijing, US allies and global markets that, however fierce the strategic rivalry, China’s importance makes sustained diplomatic engagement essential. The airport greeting, lavish banquet at the White House and flyover by military aircraft restored the appearance of a workable relationship between two powers. Even so, Beijing has learned not to...

美國海關郵件新規延後90天 平價藥品進口影響暫緩
商傳媒|吳承岳/台北報導美國政府近日宣布,將針對小型國際郵件包裹的新關稅要求延後 90 天實施。這項規定原訂於 10 月 22 日強制執行,主要目標是修正或加速執行川普總統任期內所通過的支出與減稅法案中,關於低價免稅條款(de minimis tariffs exemption,通常指價值低於 800 美元的貨物可免關稅和部分通關手續)的變革。 美國海關及邊境保衛局(US Customs and Border Protection, CBP)已將新的郵件通關流程強制實施日期,從今年 10 月 22 日推遲至 2027 年 1 月 20 日。這個新流程要求針對部分應繳納關稅或受美國食品藥品監督管理局(US Food and Drug Administration, FDA)等合作政府機構管轄的郵件包裹,必須進行電子申報並提供海關擔保。 然而,許多病患倡議團體和相關產業組織曾警告,這項新規定的資料填寫與擔保要求,可能會導致個人藥品訂單延遲、被拒絕或增加額外成本。雖然美國食品藥品監督管理局官方禁止個人從國外進口處方藥,但在某些特定情況下,該局會酌情處理。事實上,許多美國民眾會從加拿大等國家訂購藥品,因為當地藥價往往比美國便宜許多。加拿大國際藥房協會(Canadian International Pharmacy Association)曾表示,新規定可能干擾多數從國外合法藥局訂購的例行個人藥品。 此外,有 71 位國會議員聯名致函相關機構,要求延後這些規定,除非能確保個人用藥的取得不受影響。Patients for Affordable Drugs Now 的執行長 Merith Basey 表示,對於那些擔心無法再從國外取得較低價處方藥的患者而言,這次的延期無疑是一線希望,但這並非長久之計。她強調,在美國民眾能負擔得起所需藥品之前,干擾現行的個人藥品進口做法,將會冒著失去重要「安全閥」的風險。 美國海關及邊境保衛局則說明,這次延期是為了讓進口商、報關行及物流業者有更多時間更新作業流程,避免通關作業受到影響,同時也能堵塞走私者所利用的漏洞。
