中日韩重启经济对话 合作应对特朗普关税挑战
中国、日本和韩国星期天（3月30日）举行了五年来的首次经济对话，旨在加强区域贸易合作，以应对特朗普政府的关税政策带来的挑战。
路透社报道，三国贸易部长在会后声明中表示一致同意推动“全面且高水平”的合作，积极推进中日韩自由贸易协定（FTA）谈判，以促进区域和全球贸易的进一步发展。
韩国产业通商资源长官安德根指出：“必须加强三国共同参与的《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》（RCEP）的实施，并通过韩中日自贸协定谈判构建扩大三国贸易合作的框架。”
本次会议恰逢特朗普政府准备于4月2日推出新一轮关税措施。特朗普将这些措施称为“解放日”，此举被普遍认为将显著调整华盛顿的对外贸易关系。

“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
