今年五月，很多人的朋友圈都被“史上首次中美女主播隔空对话”刷屏了。（戳这里回顾）
时隔3个多月，CGTN主播刘欣继“中美女主播跨洋对话”之后第二次对话美国主流媒体↓↓↓刘欣在微博上大方表示“With great pleasure!”。
After taking on Fox Business anchor Trish Regan in May, CGTN anchor Liu Xin appeared on U.S. mainstream media again on Tuesday.
CGTN主播刘欣于9月3日应邀以嘉宾身份在美国纽约就中美贸易问题接受美国主流媒体CNBC《华尔街直播室》栏目三位主持人大约12分钟的采访。这是刘欣继“中美女主播跨洋对话”之后第二次以嘉宾身份在美国主流媒体直播节目中就热点问题发出中国声音，传递中国观点。
Liu appeared as a guest on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street," which aired on the morning of September 3. A potential rematch with Regan was canceled this week, with the Fox host citing a "scheduling conflict." Once again, Liu's presence brought China's perspective to the world.
据悉，此次受访正值刘欣在纽约进行的为期七天（9月1日至9月8日）的联合国相关主题报道采访活动。9月2日，刘欣在其个人推特账号发布预告，称其将应邀接受CNBC《华尔街直播室》栏目采访。
中国消费者受贸易战影响？
刘欣：日子照旧 没大影响
当被CNBC主持人问到中国对于贸易战的反应时，刘欣说道，中方最新一轮的加税已经发出一个强有力的信号。必须承认，贸易战让双方都遭到损失。如果美国政府能够创造条件恢复谈判，中方愿意与美方达成一个互利互惠，双方都能接受的协议，但是美国政府9月1号加税并不是一个正确的方向。
On China's response to the latest U.S. move to increase tariffs on Chinese imports, Liu mentioned China's countermeasure to increase duties of 5 to 10% on a variety of goods from the U.S.
Liu admitted that the Chinese economy has been hurt, adding that both sides would suffer great losses from the trade war. No one "wants things to get even worse."
China aims to reach a deal, but it is vital that the U.S. side creates the conditions to make the resumption of negotiations possible. However, President Trump's position to impose additional tariffs this September 1 is not in the right direction for talks to resume soon.
在谈到普通中国人对于贸易战的认识时，刘欣介绍道，这几天我在纽约转了商场，看了一下标签上的价格，也问了美国民众一些问题，他们还没感受到贸易战对消费者造成的影响，但是在中国城，商户已经感受到了贸易战带来的影响。在中国，普通老百姓的日子还是照旧，没有受到太大影响。但是如果你问在出口美国企业的工人，他们已经感受了贸易战带来的不确定性。
就业受创？
刘欣：就业增长 国内消费动力强劲
在被问到美国企业迁出中国时，刘欣答道，这在2015年就开始了，这是一个正常的价值链转移的现象，企业将工厂搬到劳动力更加低廉的国家，比如越南，比如一些非洲国家。这是一个正常的经济现象。但是，中国不会因为价值链转移而对越南和非洲国家征收额外的关税。
According to Liu, Trump's claim that the trade war is taking effect by relocating jobs and supply chains in China to other countries like Vietnam is totally untenable.
“Actually, this started a couple of years ago. Since 2015, companies already started to move to places where costs were lower, to Africa as well. So this is simple economics and we’re not going to put tariffs on African countries or Bangladesh or Vietnam.”
It is in fact the outcome of China's upgraded supply chain.
刘欣还介绍道，贸易战并没有让中国就业出现很大波动。7月数据显示，中国中小企业就业是增长的。这些小企业非常有韧性，非常灵活。刘欣还说道，中国对于贸易战不会太担心，因为中国国内消费动力强劲。
The Chinese economy remains strong. Liu cited that the revenue from the private sector actually went up in July. "They're very resilient. They're very resourceful. You know they're small, so they're flexible. If they see there's some uncertainty here, they may immediately find something else to do."
而美中贸易全国委员会调查显示，87%的受访美国企业表示，他们没有也不打算将业务迁出中国；83%的受访美国企业表示，过去一年他们没有削减或停止对华投资。美国荣鼎咨询公司的数据显示，今年上半年，美国企业在华投资68亿美元，较过去两年同期均值增长1.5%，逆势上扬。
According to a Member Survey published by the US-China Business Council in August 2019, the majority of American companies surveyed remain committed to the China market and few are currently divesting existing operations.

知识产权遭到了盗窃？
刘欣：并没有，看数据说话
在谈到知识产权保护问题时，刘欣说，在华投资的美国公司并没有认为他们的知识产权遭到了盗窃，一个美中商会的调查显示，只有大约5%的企业认为他们被要求转让技术，但是并没有被强迫。刘欣还说，中国正在加大对于知识产权的保护力度，中国也特别注重对于创新的投入，而且还实施了外资投资法。
The survey also shows that only 5 percent of survey respondents report were asked to transfer technology in the past three years.

赴美旅游人数下降？
刘欣：美国做法让中国人民觉得不受欢迎
在谈到赴美旅游人数下降时，刘欣说，她这次来美之前在美国大使馆看到长长的队伍在办理签证，说明中国游客还是特别乐意选择到美国旅游。只是美国最近的做法让中国人民觉得不受欢迎，比如美国针对中国留学生的举动。
When talking about the decreasing number of Chinese tourists to the U.S., Liu highlighted that it is not the Chinese people who do not want to visit America, it is the U.S. that is sending messages that Chinese tourists are not welcome.
"I was in the American embassy getting the visa for this. I was really surprised at the huge long queue that I had to wait in. I think people have a lot of enthusiasm."
She also mentioned that Chinese students are also suspected of being spies. Liu stressed, "It doesn't really help very much."
据国家留学基金管理委员会统计，2019年1月至3月，中方公派赴美留学的人员中，有182人因签证问题未能成行，占计划派出逾13.5%。而2018年，中方计划公派赴美留学10313人，其中因签证问题无法按原计划赴美人数仅占计划派出人员数量的3.2%。
According to the China Scholarship Council, 182 government-funded students and scholars failed to get into the US because of visa restrictions from January to March－13.5 percent of the total. Only 3.2 percent of the total 10,313 government-funded students and scholars were unable to go to the US as a result of visa restrictions in 2018.
在6月3日国务院新闻办公室举行的新闻发布会上，教育部国际合作与交流司副司长徐永吉说，2018年以来，美国以“反间谍”（counterespionage）为由，吊销或重新审查中方赴美人员的签证，从自然科学向社会科学扩散。
Since last year, the US has revoked or reexamined the visas of some Chinese citizens under the pretext of "counterespionage", which has spread from the natural science sector to the social sciences.
徐永吉说，上述种种行为已经伤害了中国在美留学人员的尊严，也严重伤害了中国人民的感情。
"These actions have hurt the dignity of Chinese students in the United States, and also seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people," said Xu Yongji, an official with the ministry.
刘欣直播后接受专访：想给他们提供全新角度
直播后，CGTN官方微博Po文发表了对刘欣的独家专访。戳下图看专访视频。
和刘欣此前“对辩美国主播翠西”相比，这次直播更是一次“对话”而不是“辩论”，专访中刘欣明确表示：“我不想跟他们辩论，只想给他们提供一种全新的角度，去理解跟中美关系有关的一些问题。”
Compared with the live discussion between CGTN anchor Liu Xin and Fox Business Network host Trish Regan in May, the appearance of Liu Xin on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” this time was more like a “dialogue” than “debate”. Liu Xin said in the exclusive interview: “I didn’t want to debate with them. I just want to provide them with a whole new angle to understand the China-U.S. issue.”
