Biden May Ease Chinese Tariffs to Curb Inflation Despite Skeptics Urging Further Pressure on Beijing_我的网站

A | President Joe Biden is expected to roll back some Trump-era tariffs on Chinese imports as early as next week, according to insiders cited by The Wall Street Journal.,The decision, which could include a pause on tariffs on consumer goods ranging from clothing to school supplies, would likely be complemented by a broader policy allowing importers to request tariff waivers, added the report.,The decision is believed to be prompted by the need to address sky-rocketing inflation, which rose unexpectedly last month to a fresh four-decade high of 8.6%, according to the US Labor Department.,However, the move will attempt to strike a balance between cutting consumer costs while maintaining pressure on Beijing, stated the publication.,The timing of the reported announcement is linked to a mandatory four-year statutory review of tariffs set in place under then-President Donald Trump by the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR). It issued a Federal Register notice in May to initiate the first step of the process to determine whether China tariffs “issued pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974” should be continued beyond the 4-year mark since their implementation.,Thus, claimed the report, the Biden administration will be provided with an opportunity to ‘calibrate its policy’ before the comment period for businesses and others who have benefited from the tariffs closes on July 5.,‘Split’ Over China Tariff,Joe Biden’s decision regarding China tariffs has been delayed up until now due to deep divisions within his own administration on this issue, according to WH officials and trade experts cited by the outlet.,US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in June revealed that the administration was looking at ways to ‘reconfigure' the tariffs to help curb inflation, adding that some of the restrictions inherited from the administration of the 45th POTUS were not ‘strategic’ and failed to address China’s ‘unfair trade practices.’,“Reconfiguring some of those tariffs so they make more sense and reducing unnecessary burdens is something that’s under consideration,” Ms. Yellen said in an interview with ABC News on June 19.,Still earlier, on June 8 Yellen told the House Ways and Means Committee hearing she expected the Biden administration to have additional information on its plans ‘in the coming weeks.’,“I think some reductions may be warranted,” Yellen said of the tariffs, claiming that the cost of certain duties on China ended up being paid by Americans. Her stance has been reportedly supported by Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.,Scholar: Biden's Plan to Lift China Tariffs Shows US Can't Take on Beijing and Moscow at Once24 June, 16:21 GMT,Proponents of tariff slashing believe that it could signal Biden’s resolve to fight inflation and boost the Democratic president’s plummeting approval rating ahead of the November midterms.,However, opposing a paring back of the tariffs are US Trade Representative Katherine Tai and National security adviser Jake Sullivan, reported WSJ. Tai has repeatedly defended the tariffs as a useful tool for achieving concessions from China.,“The China tariffs are, in my view, a significant piece of leverage, and a trade negotiator never walks away from leverage,” Tai told a Senate subcommittee meeting on June 22.,According to skeptics, a mulled tariff cut should be complemented by specific measures. The suggested options ostensibly include raising tariffs on strategic items such as industrial machinery and transportation equipment, while lowering duties on consumer goods.,Furthermore, tariffs on a new set of products could be derived from a fresh US probe under Section 301 of the Trade Act focusing on China’s industrial subsidies on high-tech items, stated the report.,However, economists doubt that easing Chinese tariffs would have a dramatic impact on inflation.,Leading US Unions Urge Biden Administration Not to Ease Tariffs on Chinese Goods7 June, 12:23 GMT,Peterson Institute for International Economics analysts Megan Hogan and Yilin Wang were cited as saying that removing tariffs on Chinese imports could bring down the consumer-price index inflation by no more than a marginal 0.26 percentage points. However, subsequently, “as US corporations trim their markups to compete with imports,” that might result in a 1-percentage-point reduction in inflation, experts added.,In his trade war with China over its purportedly unfair trading practices, former President Donald Trump imposed over four rounds of levies between July 2018 and September 2019. Targeting Chinese imports worth an estimated $370 billion, they ranged from 7.5% to 25%.,Trump’s actions were based on the findings of a Section 301 investigation into China’s practices related to technology transfer and intellectual property.,Despite the US and China penning a trade deal in 2020, Washington had kept intact most levies on Chinese imports ostensibly to ensure compliance with the accord’s provisions. Beijing has argued that the tariffs hurt both countries.,“With inflation rates running high across the globe, the U.S. needs to lift all the additional tariffs imposed on China, as this will serve the interests of businesses and consumers and benefit both countries and the world at large,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a June 15 press conference.。在本期官方 Xbox 播客中，我们邀请到了即将推出的《Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy》背后的开发团队。我们将深入探讨游戏的背景、故事、战斗系统，以及开发团队是如何在保持《A Plague Tale》系列独特韵味的同时，以全新的方式呈现这款作品。访谈记录JEFF RUBENSTEIN：大家好，欢迎收听官方 Xbox 播客。我是 Jeff，今天带来一款自从在 2025 年 Xbox 游戏展示会上惊喜亮相后就一直备受关注的游戏更新——《Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy》。

B | 这款游戏通过将时间线前移，彻底重塑了该系列。它减少了潜行成分，增加了大量动作元素，而且至少在我目前游玩的部分里，连一只老鼠的影子都看不见。

C | 它将于 8 月 27 日正式登陆 Xbox Series X|S、PC 以及 Game Pass。今天，我们将展示游戏开篇约一小时的大量实机画面。为了避免剧透，我展示的都是我亲自录制的实机内容。是的，我大部分时间都能成功格挡。为了深入了解这款游戏的后续内容，我很高兴邀请到了来自法国波尔多 Asobo Studio 的首席制作人 Eric Chort。欢迎你，Eric。ERIC CHORT：谢谢，非常感谢。JEFF RUBENSTEIN：感谢你在一天工作结束之际加入我们。让我们直接切入正题，因为要聊的内容很多。在 2022 年的《瘟疫传说：安魂曲》中，Sophia 作为配角登场，她帮助 Amicia 和 Hugo 航行到了那个出现在 Hugo 梦中的岛屿。那里发生了很多疯狂的事情，而她成功在那个故事中幸存了下来，这绝非易事。

D | 团队是什么时候决定要讲述更多关于她的故事的？ERIC CHORT：当我们完成《瘟疫传说：安魂曲》时，团队感到非常疲惫，因为那不仅对玩家而言是一段充满情感的旅程，对我们团队来说也是如此。我们围绕 Hugo 和 Amicia 创作了七八年，这个故事的创作过程非常艰辛且充满情感。所以项目结束时，我们觉得这是一个告一段落的篇章，但我们依然热爱这个系列。问题在于，如何在没有 Hugo 和 Amicia 的情况下继续制作《A Plague Tale》游戏？同时，我们作为工作室也想挑战自己，明确下一款游戏的玩法方向。我们想要更具动态感，想要加入战斗。

E | 所以我们思考：是沿用现有角色，还是创造一个新角色？当我们想到要保留《A Plague Tale》的内核，但又要增加动态感和战斗时，Sophia 就成了不二之选。基于我们在《瘟疫传说：安魂曲》中为她设定的背景，这个选择非常顺理成章。JEFF RUBENSTEIN：让我们回到游戏的首次亮相，也就是 2025 年的 Xbox 游戏展示会。当时预告片中的一些意象非常引人注目：米诺陶洛斯（Minotaur）、迷宫——迷宫就出现在游戏 Logo 中，还有那根发光的绳子。对于那些不熟悉希腊神话的人来说，著名的米诺陶洛斯就住在迷宫中心，人们会被送进去作为祭品，最终忒修斯（Theseus）在阿里阿德涅（Ariadne）和她的金线帮助下杀死了它。首先，你们切入希腊神话的时机非常好。这类神话最吸引我的一点在于，这些地点是真实存在的，比如我现在就可以去克里特岛。你们是否在利用这种真实感？因为《Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy》的故事发生在 14 世纪，这距离传说中的米诺陶洛斯时代已经过去很久了。ERIC CHORT：首先，我们并没有刻意去蹭电影热度。我们团队对希腊神话的热爱是发自内心的，就像许多人通过《战神：诸神黄昏》等作品感受到的一样。对于《A Plague Tale》，我们以 15 世纪发生在法国的黑死病为基础，然后融入了我们自己的传说。这次我们使用了希腊神话，因为它更具奇幻色彩，而且正如你所说，希腊境内确实保留着可以实地参观的历史遗迹。

F | 我们将真实的历史遗迹作为基础，然后通过我们的设定进行重构，将罗马、埃及以及当时期所有可考的历史元素结合起来，构建出一个既有现实质感又充满神话色彩的独特宇宙。JEFF RUBENSTEIN：在开发过程中，团队是否有过一些想做但当时受限于游戏类型而无法实现的想法，现在终于在《Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy》中得以实现？ERIC CHORT：是的，战斗系统就是最好的答案。

G | 我们在制作《瘟疫传说：无罪》时很幸运能接着做《瘟疫传说：安魂曲》，后者确实是我们当时想做的游戏，但在开发《瘟疫传说：无罪》时我们没有时间和能力实现一切。在《瘟疫传说：安魂曲》中，我们在老鼠机制、潜行、故事、情感和画面上都达到了预期，但我们依然在想：动作表现还能更多吗？Amicia 并不是那种适合挥舞长剑进行近战的角色。

H | 所以《Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy》确实是一个引入近战系统的绝佳机会。JEFF RUBENSTEIN：让我们谈谈动作设计。

I | 我已经游玩了前几个章节，游戏确实毫不避讳动作场面，这与系列前作形成了鲜明对比。Amicia 总是倾向于避免战斗，而 Sophia 则风格直率，双刃在手。请谈谈你们构建的战斗系统，从基础到进阶的层面。ERIC CHORT：我们首先追求的是“反应灵敏”。无论闪避还是攻击，操作手感必须平滑顺畅。其次是“敏捷”。Sophia 需要快速移动，因为她将面对大量敌人。这种“以一敌众”的感觉对我们非常有吸引力。为了增加挑战性，我们设定为“高伤害”模式：你可以很快杀死敌人，但自己也非常脆弱。为了平衡这一点，我们加入了抓钩、投掷瓶子、匕首等元素，让战斗更具策略性和致命性。

J | 这是我们第一次制作动作战斗游戏，我们参考了很多开发者的经验，也研究了《Ghost of Tsushima导演剪辑版》等优秀作品，最终将其适配到我们的角色身上。JEFF RUBENSTEIN：游戏中的风险与回报机制非常有趣。你只有三格生命值，但这反而促使玩家更加激进，因为每次击杀敌人都能回复生命。

K | 这种设计与市面上其他格挡类动作游戏截然不同。能否聊聊技能树的设计？ERIC CHORT：是的，这正是为了鼓励玩家不要只是一味地格挡。虽然你可以一直防御，但为了体现我们想要的敏捷与动态感，通过击杀来回复生命是一个快速成型的构思。在测试过程中，我们不断迭代，最终发现这种机制能极大地改变战斗节奏。多亏了大量的实机测试以及我们的发行商 Focus Entertainment 的支持，我们才找到了现在的平衡点。JEFF RUBENSTEIN：最后一个问题关于标题。在通关前作后，标题含义显而易见。那么《Resonance》呢？这个词既代表“共鸣”，也与声音有关，团队是先想到了哪一层含义？ERIC CHORT：这个名字在开发后期才定下来。

L | 当时我们脑海中已经有了这两种含义，当这个名字提出来时，我们觉得它完美契合。它不仅代表情感上的共鸣，而且在岛屿的黑暗深处，声音的共鸣机制也确实非常重要。

M | JEFF RUBENSTEIN：好的，Eric，今天非常感谢你的分享。最后还有什么想对玩家说的吗？ERIC CHORT：希望大家能享受这款游戏。对于我们来说，这是《A Plague Tale》系列之后的一次新旅程，我们很高兴能制作一款带有动作战斗的游戏。虽然它不再是讲述姐弟情深的故事，但 Sophia 有很多故事要讲，希望大家会喜欢。
