真偽之辨：現行國際貿易體系對美國“不公平”？

True or False? Is the Current International Trade System 'Unfair' to the United States?

按照自由主義國際貿易體系“實力界定收益＂的基本邏輯，自身霸權的衰弱是導致美國現時相對收益下降的根本原因，並非其他國家違反現行國際貿易體系之規則所致，也無以將之歸咎於該體系的整體制度安排，但其具體制度設計可能會影響貿易利益在美國國內的分配。借此，特朗普政府似是而非，宣稱其他國家“利用＂現行國際貿易體系，嚴重損害美國貿易利益，致使美國受到該體系不公正對待，顯屬“美國優先＂基調下的誇大之詞。

According to the basic logic of the 'strength-defining-income' of the liberal international trade system, the weakening of its own hegemony is the root cause of the current decline in the relative gains of the United States. It is not caused by other countries' violation of the rules of the current international trading system, nor is it blamed on the overall institutional arrangement of the system. However, its specific institutional design may affect the distribution of trade interests within the United States. In this way, the Trump administration speciously claims that other countries 'take advantage' of the current international trading system, seriously undermining US trade interests, and causing the United States to be treated unfairly by the system, which is an exaggeration under the 'American first' tone.
