谈妥了又突然变卦！中国复购美国大豆换关税暂停，美贸易代表直接通告全球：继续查中国

Core Viewpoint - The recent agricultural procurement discussions between China and the U.S. reveal underlying tensions in the broader economic and trade negotiations, particularly concerning tariffs, rare earth controls, and fentanyl cooperation [1][3]. Group 1: Trade Agreements and Negotiations - A new consensus was reached between the U.S. and China, involving a temporary suspension of reciprocal tariffs and a commitment from China to purchase 12 million tons of U.S. soybeans this crop season, with an annual import of 25 million tons over the next three years [3]. - The U.S. agreed to reduce fentanyl-related tariffs to 10% and suspend a 24% reciprocal tariff for one year, alongside delaying the enforcement of the "50% rule" affecting blacklisted companies [3]. Group 2: U.S. Trade Strategy - The U.S. Trade Representative announced the continuation of the Section 301 investigation into China's compliance with the Phase One trade agreement, which could lead to additional tariffs if "unfair trade practices" are identified [4]. - The U.S. has employed a strategy of negotiating while simultaneously imposing restrictions, indicating a pattern of using trade talks as leverage while maintaining pressure through investigations and tariffs [5]. Group 3: Market Reactions and Economic Implications - Following the announcement of the soybean procurement agreement, global stock markets reacted positively, with the Shanghai Composite Index surpassing 4,000 points [3]. - The ongoing trade tensions and the potential for escalation in the U.S.-China trade war could have significant implications for global GDP, with warnings that an escalation could reduce global GDP by 7% [7]. Group 4: Trust and Future Relations - The fundamental issue in U.S.-China trade relations is the lack of mutual trust, as the U.S. attempts to use agricultural purchases as bargaining chips rather than recognizing them as market-driven decisions [9]. - The contrasting approaches of the two nations highlight a critical paradox: the more the U.S. emphasizes its strength, the more it reveals its diminishing advantages in the trade relationship [7].
