據玉淵譚天訊息，知情人士向其透露，3月11日，商務部等有關部門約談沃爾瑪。沃爾瑪被約談的原因，是其要求一些中國供應商大幅降價，企圖將美對華加徵關稅的負擔轉嫁給中國供應商和中國消費者。
China's Ministry of Commerce and other relevant authorities held talks with Walmart Inc on Tuesday to discuss the US retailer's recent request for price reductions from Chinese suppliers.
@玉淵譚天 認為，這次約談有以下幾個值得關注的資訊點：
1. 沃爾瑪單方面要求中國企業降價，可能造成供應鏈斷裂的風險，損害中美企業和美國消費者的利益。
2. 沃爾瑪臨時要求中國供應商降價，有違反商業合同的可能。這樣會擾亂正常的市場交易秩序。
3. 美單邊加徵關稅傷害中美企業，中美企業應該攜手共同應對。
4. 如果沃爾瑪執意如此，那等待沃爾瑪的，就不只是約談了。
The company's practice, according to Yuyuantantian, would shift the cost of new US tariffs imposed on Chinese goods to domestic suppliers and consumers. "Walmart's unilateral demand on Chinese firms to cut prices could lead to disruptions of supply chains and hurt the interests of firms and consumers from both countries," the account said.
另據中國紡織品進出口商會（簡稱“商會”）訊息，近期，商會陸續收到部分會員反映有美國大型零售商要求中國供應商降價的訊息，商會正進一步核實瞭解有關情況。如情況屬實，商會將採取積極措施維護會員企業的合法利益。
Walmart has recently asked some Chinese suppliers for price cuts of up to 10 percent per round of additional tariffs the US government imposes on Chinese goods.In response to this move, the Beijing-based China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles said in a statement that it will take proactive measures to safeguard the interests of its member companies.
