元器件交易网讯 4月15日消息，据外媒报道，友达光电（AUO）总裁Paul Peng敦促中国政府对提高液晶面板进口关税要谨慎。中国在2012将液晶面板进口关税从3％上调到5％，而TCL集团董事长李东升在最近提出关税应该进一步提高至10％。

　　Paul Peng认为提高关税是一把双刃剑，虽然此举可以保护当地厂商，但过去的经验表明，这样可能会影响他们的竞争力。开放市场自由竞争反而会帮助企业提高他们的业务素质。

　　Paul Peng表示正在加紧与中国厂商合作，为中国厂商的电视出口到海外市场创造有利条件。中国生产商每年生产1.3亿台电视，其中9000万台用于出口。而出口电视的LCD面板进口关税可以退还。（元器件交易网  白玉涛译）

　　AU Optronics (AUO) president Paul Peng has urged the China government to take a cautious approach towards raising tariffs on LCD panel imports, describing such taxes as a double-edged sword, according to a report.

　　China raised its tariffs on LCD panel imports from 3% to 5% in 2012, and TCL chairman Dongsheng Li has recently suggested the tariffs be raised further to 10%.

　　Raising tariffs could protect doemstic makers, but previous experiences have shown that it could also dampen their competitiveness, Peng said in a recent interview by the China Business News.

　　Opening the market to free competition would instead help firms improve their businesses, Peng was cited as saying by the China-based media outlet.

　　Peng said that AUO, bracing for high tariffs, is stepping up its cooperation with China vendors for their TV exports to overseas markets.

　　China makers produce 130 million TVs a year, 90 million of which are exported, Peng said. Imports taxes on LCD panels for these subsequently exported TVs can be refunded, he added.
