"总统先生对中国的态度令人困惑，他的政策似乎在为北京效力。"一位美国议员在近期闭门听证会上发 出质疑。与此同时，欧洲领导人们也在为特朗普对八国加征关税而焦头烂额。 特朗普第二任期已过一年，其对华政策呈现出令人眼花缭乱的矛盾态势：今年初美国还将对华关税提高 至125%，却同时给予90天暂停期；特朗普本人提出"G2"想法，却又任命强硬反华人物担任要职。 特朗普 这种摇摆不定的对华政策，反而让中国抓住机会，展开了一场堪称典范的国际战略阳谋。 政策摇摆，特朗普的对华战略显露矛盾 特朗普政府上任一年来，对华政策轨迹充满不确定性。从就职首日宣布对所有中国商品加征10%的关税 （远低于竞选时威胁的60%），到后来将关税一度提升至125%，再到给予90天关税暂停期，特朗普政 府的对华经贸政策展现出极大的波动性。 特朗普在四月访华前必然调整对华战略，采取缓和政策。而临近六月中期选举时，为拉拢选票，他又需 要展现强硬的形象。这种短期利益导向的外交哲学，使得对华政策缺乏长期一致性。 更令人惊讶的是，美国政府对华言论也明显软化。特朗普提出"G2"概念，美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞思 甚至声称"美国和中国的关系从来没有这么好过"。2025 ...
