格陵兰岛争端标志“欧美脱钩”?欧洲准备应对“美国技术封锁”
Hua Er Jie Jian Wen· 2026-01-25 02:19
《华尔街日报》专栏作家Greg Ip 在其分析文章中引用列宁的名言称,"几十年里什么都没发生,而在几 周里发生了几十年的事",以此形容2026年开局的震荡。 随着特朗普因格陵兰岛问题向盟友发出强硬威胁,美欧之间长期基于共同价值观的纽带正面临断裂。 Greg Ip分析,这实际上是美国与欧洲的"脱钩"。 据另一篇《华尔街日报》报道,这种地缘政治紧张局势已转化为欧洲决策层对科技基础设施的现实担 忧。欧洲官员正在为一种"噩梦般的情况"做准备:即白宫发布行政命令,切断欧洲企业和政府赖以生存 的数据中心或软件访问权限。 这一转变正在加速欧洲的立法和商业决策。欧洲议会周四通过了一项"技术主权"决议,支持在公共采购 中优先考虑欧洲产品,并提议通过新法律扶持欧洲云服务提供商。与此同时,自特朗普连任以来,欧洲 官员已要求部分美国云服务商确保关键行业(如能源)客户能够在服务中断时轻松迁移至本地基础设 施。这一系列动作表明,欧洲正试图减少对美国技术基础设施的依赖,以防御潜在的"武器化"制裁。 作为回应,微软正在重组其公司子公司,设立全由欧洲人组成的董事会;亚马逊上周推出了由欧盟公民 运营、总部位于德国的"主权云"服务;谷歌也在法国等 ...
