此次收购，表面看是一家美国公司购买另一家公司的商业行为。但在中美战略竞争、特别是科技竞争日益激烈的背景下，其内涵变得异常复杂。任何大型 AI平台的并购，都可能涉及核心算法技术的转移、数据资源的整合，乃至全球AI生态主导权的微妙变化。中国政府依法启动审查，是对国家科技安全、数 据主权和市场竞争秩序的负责任的预防性保护，是全球主要经济体的通行做法。 商务部的声明，核心是"符合中国法律法规"八个字。这并非一句空话，背后连接着一整套日益完善的法律体系。 近年来，中国相继出台了《网络安全法》、《数据安全法》、《个人信息保护法》以及《反垄断法》等一系列基础性法律。这些法律共同构成了数字时代 的"中国规则"： 在全球科技巨头竞相布局人工智能的今天，一则来自中国商务部的消息，为这场没有硝烟的战争投下了一枚关键的"规则棋子"。 在1月8日的例行发布会上，当被问及美国科技巨头Meta计划收购人工智能平台Manus一事时，商务部新闻发言人何亚东作出了清晰表态：中国政府支持企业 依法开展跨国合作，但企业从事跨境并购等活动，"须符合中国法律法规，履行法定程序"。商务部将会同相关部门，依法对此项收购进行评估调查。 这短短几句看似程序性的 ...

Core Viewpoint - The new silver export control policy in China aims to enhance industry concentration and ensure the sustainable development of the silver industry by setting strict criteria for export enterprises, amidst rising global demand for silver in various high-tech industries [2][7]. Group 1: Export Control Policy - The new policy elevates the export management level of silver, introducing three strict "red lines": - Production capacity line: Enterprises with annual production below 80 tons will be eliminated to enhance industry concentration [2]. - Qualification line: Companies must have a continuous export record for the past three years to prevent speculative entrants [2]. - Environmental line: Enterprises not meeting environmental standards will be shut down to promote green development [2]. Group 2: Industrial Demand for Silver - Silver's role has evolved beyond being a precious metal for jewelry; industrial demand now accounts for over 50% of total silver consumption, a figure that continues to rise [2]. - Silver is essential in high-end electronic components and thermal materials, playing a critical role in emerging industries such as: - Photovoltaics: Silver paste is a key conductive material for solar cells, with no complete substitutes found yet [4]. - Electric vehicles: Each electric vehicle uses an average of 1 to 1.5 ounces of silver, double that of traditional cars [4]. - 5G communication: All 5G devices require silver-coated components for signal transmission [4]. - Artificial intelligence: Silver is widely used in electronic components of servers and hardware [4]. Group 3: Global Supply Chain and Market Dynamics - The trend of increasing silver demand may reshape global supply chain dynamics, challenging the long-established global division of labor and prompting tech companies to reconsider production base layouts and supply chain resilience [5]. - Financial capital is increasingly recognizing silver's dual attributes as both a safe-haven precious metal and an industrial metal with growth potential, leading to heightened price volatility [5]. - In 2025, silver prices surged from $29-$30 per ounce at the beginning of the year to a range of $70-$80 by year-end, achieving over 100% growth, outpacing gold [5]. Group 4: Strategic Implications - The implementation of China's silver export control policy occurs at a time of global market vulnerability and supply tension, serving as a defensive measure to safeguard domestic industrial security [7]. - Long-term, this policy aims to control key resources, promote domestic industrial upgrades, and shape a favorable strategic landscape in global technology and industrial competition [7]. - The rising silver prices signal a deeper level of technological competition, where the ability to secure sufficient resources and innovate to reduce resource dependency will determine future leadership in the tech industry [7].

——国际时政周评 回顾：美国暂缓芯片关税；俄乌和谈。 未来一周：地缘冲突；美国内政及关税。 ❑ 上周时政回顾： ❑ 未来一周关注： 魏芸 S1090522010002 weiyun@cmschina.com.cn 定期报告 敬请阅读末页的重要说明 1）美国暂缓对华芯片加征关税 18 个月。1）此次美国推迟对华芯片加征 关税，主要是试图稳定短期中美关系、管控摩擦幅度。2）在科技竞争 领域，美国的战略目的没有发生变化，但策略上可能将实行更加精准的 管制。此次美国推迟对华芯片加征关税，结合近期美国政府放宽对华芯 片出口政策，我们认为这不意味着美国在科技竞争上的战略目的发生变 化（即维持美国科技霸权和竞争优势），而是在试图维系一般贸易的同 时，施行更加精准的管控政策，而非全面围堵（因为这可能引起反效 果）。3）关注美国国内政治对大国关系可能的干扰。 2）俄乌和谈：边打边谈持续，领土等关键敏感问题仍待协商。领土方面， 目前乌方可能的方案包括：维持现状，"和平计划"签署之日的部队部 署线将被事实上承认为接触线，并由国际部队进行监督；在顿巴斯地区 建立潜在的"自由经济区"。安全保障上，乌克兰或以不加入北约承诺 （但要加入欧 ...

【文/观察者网 柳白】"美国正愚蠢地挥别数千名华人科研人才。"英国《经济学人》杂志网站12月2日刊 出一篇以此为题的文章，猛批特朗普政府的敌意政策与对科学的攻击，正在把一众科研人才推回中国的 怀抱。 这篇文章写道，华人精英长期以来一直走在美国创新领域的前沿，10月离世的诺贝尔物理学奖得主杨振 宁便是其中之一。 中国山东碳化硅晶片生产车间视觉中国 先来看学生群体的流动变化。 2000年至2019年间，赴美中国留学生人数增长了6倍，2019年达到峰值，突破37.2万人。当时中国留学 生占美国所有国际留学生的比例超过三分之一。但此后这一数字下降了近30%。新冠疫情是原因之一， 而美国政府的敌对态度更是关键因素。这让赴美留学仿佛变成了一场成本高昂的赌注，成败全取决于特 朗普政府反复无常的政策态度。 然而，在多重"推力"（如特朗普政府对各类外来人员的敌对态度）和"拉力"（包括中国对科技领域的大 力扶持）的共同作用下，如今许多华人天才正重走杨振宁晚年的道路——他在80多岁时回到中国，赴清 华大学任教。如今，更有众多中国青年干脆不再选择赴美留学。 作者认为，这种人才流动的转变自特朗普首次执政时便已开始，如今在学生、科学家和 ...

Core Viewpoint - The controversy surrounding ASML's alleged proposal to "monitor Chinese customers" highlights the intersection of corporate actions and geopolitical tensions in the global semiconductor industry, reflecting a shift in the international technology order that warrants deeper attention beyond the accusations themselves [1][6][13] Group 1: Background of the Controversy - The controversy originated from a book co-authored by former Bloomberg journalists, which portrays ASML as being drawn into the U.S. export restriction framework, suggesting a narrative that may exaggerate the situation [2][4] - The book claims that during a transitional period of U.S.-Dutch export restrictions in 2023, ASML sold more DUV lithography machines than contracted, leading to U.S. dissatisfaction and a proposal from ASML's CEO to provide internal customer data in exchange for service permissions [4][5] - ASML's rapid denial of these claims emphasizes its compliance with GDPR, privacy laws, and strict confidentiality agreements with clients, indicating that sharing customer information poses significant legal and commercial risks [5][10] Group 2: Strategic Context - ASML is undergoing a leadership transition, with the current CEO set to retire in 2024, and the new management aims to reshape the company's brand and political image, making the allegations particularly sensitive [5][11] - Ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Europe regarding further export restrictions complicate ASML's position, as the company must balance its revenue interests against geopolitical pressures [5][11] - The rapid advancement of China's semiconductor manufacturing capabilities raises concerns within the West about ASML's role in China, further politicizing the narrative surrounding the company [5][12] Group 3: ASML's Unique Position - ASML operates as a highly globalized entity, relying on multiple countries for strategic resources, which complicates its ability to remain neutral in geopolitical conflicts [7][11] - China represents a significant market for ASML, accounting for 40%-50% of its DUV equipment revenue, making it essential for the company to maintain trust with Chinese clients [9][12] - The Dutch government faces a strategic dilemma, wanting to support its domestic technology sector while also aligning with U.S. security interests and maintaining trade relations with China [9][12] Group 4: Implications of the Controversy - The incident illustrates how corporate actions in the technology sector are increasingly interpreted through a geopolitical lens, with narratives being constructed around compliance and rule adherence [6][11][13] - ASML's actions, such as accelerating contract fulfillment before restrictions take effect, are often viewed through a political framework, complicating its business decisions [11][12] - The controversy serves as a reminder that in the current geopolitical climate, the boundaries between corporate behavior and national narratives are becoming increasingly blurred, necessitating a new balance for global technology companies [13]

细看时间点。10月底，中美才在韩国首尔见了一面，算是难得的气氛平和。米舒斯京前脚到中国谈合作，带了一堆意向回国，中俄关系正升温。可普京一转 身，就高调宣布要自己搞稀土，不依赖别人。西方媒体立马兴奋起来，解读是普京对中国起了防心。 表面上像是中俄信任出了问题，但真相不是这么简单。 普京这次下的总统令，火药味很足。要求俄罗斯内阁在12月1日之前，必须端出一份稀土和稀有金属的长期发展路线图。给的时间，一个月。动作这么急， 背后意味就大了。 苏联时代，俄罗斯有完整产业链。苏联解体，经济休克，科研体系崩了，技术断档，工厂荒废。现在俄罗斯能挖矿石，但炼不出高纯度稀土材料。结果是原 矿低价卖出去，再高价买中国的成品。超过90%的稀土产品靠进口，其中70%来自中国。二十年如一日，这局面不急才怪。 乌克兰战事打到现在，普京彻底看明白了。西方的制裁不会停，俄国不能什么都依赖外部，否则命根子掌在别人的手里。绍伊古也说，稀土事关国家存亡。 普京这道命令，就是要把这种存亡焦虑转成行动。 为什么选在这个时间出手？因为全球都在"另起炉灶"。美国急得不行，白宫给了两年时间，要在国内完善稀土产业链，五角大楼直接撒钱给企业。欧盟投了 至少120 ...
