据悉，自6月5日在白宫拜访特朗普后，默茨"几乎每周"都与特朗普通话。芬兰总统斯图布则通过在美国 佛罗里达州参加的一场高尔夫赛，与特朗普"结下了友谊"。 德国副总理兼财政部长克林拜尔、德国外长瓦德富尔则分别和特朗普的财长贝森特、国务卿鲁比奥建立 了联系。报道指出，贝森特和鲁比奥是特朗普政府中相对较为同情乌克兰的一派，德国据称获得了贝森 特口头承诺，将游说特朗普在制裁和武器方面给予乌克兰支持。此外，德国还和一批亲乌克兰的共和党 议员打好了关系。 【文/观察者网 邵昀】 从对俄罗斯"破冰"、跟乌克兰"吵架"，到称俄总统普京令人"失望"、但暂停部分对乌军援，再到威胁对 俄课税、还要供乌更多武器……美国特朗普政府为何能短短几个月就在俄乌政策上"变脸"，成了西方媒 体近来乐于报道的话题。美国《华尔街日报》15日引述知情人士称，这还要"多亏"欧洲领导人对特朗普 发起的密集"魅力攻势"。 14日，特朗普在会见北约秘书长吕特时宣布双方达成协议，将由北约替美国运往乌克兰的武器"买单"， 并为俄罗斯设定了50天的"和谈倒计时"，称否则就将征收关税。这被西方媒体被视为特朗普立场的"重 大转变"。 据《华尔街日报》说，特朗普私下真正松 ...

【文/观察者网 熊超然】美西方越是打压封锁，越会倒逼中国加快自主创新步伐，但不必讳言的是，对 于希望实现芯片设备100%国产化的中国人来说，攻克光刻技术仍然是一场硬仗。"中国能造出自己的阿 斯麦（ASML）吗？"7月16日，《日经亚洲》围绕这个问题，发布了一篇长篇报道。 这篇报道花了不少篇幅介绍了光刻技术对于芯片最终性能的重要性，并强调了光刻机设备的极高复杂 性，也正是因为这一点，让荷兰的阿斯麦在该领域一枝独秀，也让其他潜在挑战者面前障碍重重。事实 上，"本地光刻工具仍存空白点"、"远未实现自给自足"，这些也确实都是中国目前面对的客观现实。 不过，《日经亚洲》指出，通过"囤积"这一短期策略，中国仍旧保持着想要取代阿斯麦这一家荷兰领头 羊企业的强劲动力。一名半导体分析师认为，中国显然正努力开发自己的光刻技术，而取得成果需要时 间，手中掌握的大量阿斯麦设备库存显然为中国赢得了时间。另一名业内IT硬件研究主管也认为，尽管 光刻技术的准入门槛远高于其他类型的芯片制造设备，但鉴于许多技术已经存在多年，他预计中国最终 会取得突破。 报道援引一名日本芯片设备供应商高管的担忧称，一旦中国取得突破，将给非中国供应商带来巨大压 ...

二十年过去了，当地的工人仍然未能从制造业流失的冲击中恢复。虽然部分地区重现了增长，但新增的 工作岗位大多来自低薪产业。同样的故事在许多劳动密集型产业领域同时上演——如纺织、玩具、运动 用品、电子产品、塑料、汽车零部件。 然而，一旦中国的这场经济转型在2015年前后完成，其冲击的势能也不再积蓄。从那时起，美国的制造 业就业开始回升——在奥巴马总统任期，特朗普第一任期、拜登总统时期持续增长。 既然如此，您可能会问，为什么我们还要谈论"中国冲击"？我们也希望不必再谈论。我们在2013、2014 和2016年与苏黎世大学的合作者大卫·多恩（David Dorn）共同发表了系列研究，第一次系统呈现了来自 中国进口的竞争如何对美国部分地区造成长期、结构性的就业和收入损失。如今我们想强调的是：美国 的政策制定者花太多时间沉湎于过去，准备打"上一场（贸易）战争"。他们真正应该仔细研究的是正在 浮现的"中国冲击2.0" 提前剧透：这一次冲击对美国的影响可能比上一次更严重。 "中国冲击1.0"是一次性的事件：本质上，中国当时只是想明白了它数十年前就该开启的发展步伐。美 国为此付出了不必要且惨痛的工作岗位流失，但说到底，美国也不是 ...
