第七轮中美战略与经济对话将于下周在华盛顿举行，有猜测中国资本市场开放可能成为对话重头戏。美国表示，两国在重要领域的分歧将是对话重点。中方则称愿与美方“相向而行”、“妥善处理分歧”。
自2009年以来，中美这两个世界最大经济体每年都展开战略与经济对话。中国外交部周五（6月19日）表示，中美第七轮对话将于6月23日至24日在华盛顿举行，由中国国务院副总理汪洋、国务委员杨洁篪与美国国务卿克里、美国财长雅各布·卢共同主持。
目前正值 中美关系在多个领域面临挑战之时，因此本轮对话格外受关注。中国媒体报道称，这次对话可能成为中国开放金融体系和放松外汇管制的关键推手。
据路透社消息，美国财政高官称，华盛顿将在对话中”就汇率政策向中国施压”，同时并不排除美国有朝一日加入由中国主导的亚投行的可能。
华盛顿：两国分歧是重点议题
美国负责亚太事务的助理国务卿拉塞尔（Daniel Russel）在对话前夕表示，中美在南海、网络安全和人权领域的分歧将是美方的重点议题。其中网络安全问题将贯穿整个对话。不久前，美国政府电脑遭黑客入侵一事曝光，美方官员谴责是中国黑客所为。
在新闻发布会上，拉塞尔称，美国会强调人权问题–其中包括香港民主、”很成问题的”中国《境外NGO管理法》，以及中国对媒体与民间社会的限制约束。
针对 南海纠纷，拉塞尔表示，根本上来讲，南海纠纷并非存在于美中之间，美国有”坚定的决心，避免军事对立，其中也包括与中国的军事对立”。
与此同时，这位美国助理国务卿也表示，航域与空域自由非常重要，海事权利主张要符合国际法。”这事关中国未来和中国选择”，拉塞尔说。
中方语调更为缓和
对比华盛顿，北京方面语调则更为缓和，尽量避免紧张，似乎有意为9月习近平成功访美作铺垫。中国外交部在其官方网站上称”中方愿与美方相向而行……推动中美新型大国关系建设不断取得新进展”。
在周五北京的一场论坛上，中国外交部部长助理郑泽光表示，中国将寻求”建设性地处理”与美方在海事纠纷、网络安全和人权方面的分歧。此外他也表示，”我们在这些问题上的态度是不回避，并且坚决捍卫中方的利益”。

美国贸易逆差现近20年最大增幅
美元走强和西海岸港口进口作业强力恢复预示美国经济可能遭遇六年扩张中的第三次季度萎缩，暗示不稳定因素似乎会抑制全年经济增长。
美国商务部周二公布，美国3月份贸易逆差较2月扩大43.1%，为1996年12月以来出现的最大月度增幅。西海岸港口劳工纠纷结束后，当月非石油产品进口创下纪录水平，经季节性因素调整后的贸易逆差扩大至513.7亿美元。
即便考虑了美元走强和全球经济增长疲软的影响，当月贸易逆差还是远超经济学家预期。因此美国第一季度国内生产总值(GDP)终值可能出现萎缩，上周公布的初值为折合成年率增长0.2%。
Sterne Agee经济学家Lindsey Piegza说，个中原因还是年初经济增长乏力，经济动能迹象微弱。
贸易数据公布后，摩根大通(J.P. Morgan Chase)和德意志银行(Deutsche Bank)经济学家将美国第一季度经济增速预期下调至-0.5%。预测机构Macroeconomic Advisers将美国第一季度经济增 来源：
美国向几家公司发放古巴渡轮服务许可证
据知情人士周三透露，美国财政部向少数几家渡轮服务运营商发放了从美国乘渡轮到古巴旅游的渡轮服务许可证。
总部位于希腊雅典的乾散货船运公司Arista Shipping的所有人Alexander Panagopoulos称，他们周二取得了许可证，对此感到高兴，公司最晚将在秋季前推出从佛罗里达州到古巴的航运服务。Alexander Panagopoulos携手美国邮轮业资深人士Bruce Nierenberg在迈阿密成立了United Caribbean Lines.。
至少有五家公司申请了该许可证。此前，作为推动美国和古巴关系正常化计划的一部分，美国政府放宽了对古巴的部分制裁措施。
从佛罗里达乘渡轮到古巴哈瓦那旅游在上世纪50年代很常见，但在古巴导弹危机爆发後不久，美国总统肯尼迪(John F. Kennedy)于1963年2月份宣布对古巴实施旅游限制，渡轮服务也随之终止。

Maghull duo saddle up for charity in China
TWO women from Maghull are heading to China for a grueling 300-mile charity bike ride.
Paula Hogg, 56, and Ann Pruden, 59, will travel to China in 2014 to ride across the Beijing Provence for Women V Cancer.
The cycle will raise money for three women’s cancer charities: Breast Cancer Care, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action. They have a target of £6,000 but have put in place a series of fundraising activities to try and raise even more.
The pair, who have been friends for 20 years after meeting at the school gate with their children, have never done anything like this before but decided to take part after Paula underwent treatment for breast cancer in 2010/11.
Paula, who works as a Coordinator for PSS, a Health and Social Care Charity in Liverpool, said: “Finding out I had breast cancer turned my world upside down, but after going through months of gruelling radiation and chemotherapy sessions I finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel and from that day I decided to start living my life to the full. I promised myself I’d start seizing opportunities, have adventures and give something back to the amazing charities that help women like me every single day – and what better way to tick all those boxes than to take on this challenge.”
Paula and Ann last month held a fundraising night at Maghull’s MCA Club, which kindly donated the venue for free.
Ann, who has been a childminder for the past 26 years, said: These charities are close to my heart as I’ve known many women who’ve suffered with cancer.’’

Everest date for Stratford adrenaline junkie
George Joseph is preparing to climb just beyond the base camp of Mount Everest in November to raise money for children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent.
Originally born in South Africa, the 37-year-old moved to Stratford in 2001 where a chance meeting with a British Army officer led to him signing up to serve his adopted country for two years.
Now working as a Helping Hands carer – providing support for patients with dementia - he will fly to Nepal on November 7.
Aside from a few days of recuperation and acclimatisation, he will trek between two and four hours per day in temperatures as low as -25 degrees until he reaches around 18,000ft (5,550m). He is expected to reach his goal on November 19.
But it is not the gruelling trek that bothers the father of twins, more the flight in and out of the notorious mountain airport of Lukla.
George told the Observer: "Lukla Airport where I am due to land and take off just before and after the expedition has the shortest runaway and is the most dangerous airport in the world.
"I've got no fear of undertaking the event but the thought of the flight actually scares me more than the challenge.
"I thrive off adrenaline and I've always wanted to do mad things in my life but like everyone, I've got goals in life. For me, when I reach old age I want to be able to show my kids what I did when I was younger.
"I trekked for five days across the desert in Fish River Canyon, South Africa and I think this combined with the experience I gained in the British Army will definitely help me during the challenge.
"Obviously you've got to be in good shape so I have been doing a lot of cardiovascular work but altitude always affects people differently so I guess we will have to see.
"If I make it through this challenge in one piece I would like to put myself forward to do the summit in about 3 or 4 years time but for now, November can't come soon enough!”
Before the climb George will be holding a number of fund-raising events - the first of which will be a quiz night at The Crown in Tiddington from 7.30pm on Friday April 26.
