此前，美国特朗普政府一直盘算着重启与中国的能源谈判，企图将美国的页岩油和液化天然气倾销至中国市场，不仅能从中获取巨额利润，更能以此对中 国形成战略上的牵制。然而，现实却给了美国一个沉重的打击。就在俄罗斯总统普京访华期间，中俄两国迅速就"西伯利亚力量-二号"项目达成了重要共 识，这彻底打乱了美国的如意算盘。 特朗普上台后，大肆鼓吹贸易保护主义，并对中国采取了加征关税的强硬措施，导致中美贸易关系一度陷入紧张对峙。在此背景下，中国对美国三大主要 能源的进口量几乎降至为零。如今，随着中俄管道协议的签署，中国未来在天然气采购方面，无疑将优先考虑俄罗斯，这一战略选择的清晰度不言而喻。 这条"西伯利亚力量-二号"管道的意义非凡。对于中国而言，它犹如为国家能源安全筑起了一道坚实的"双保险"。它能够有效规避"马六甲困局"，通过陆地 管道运输，确保了天然气供应的安全性和稳定性。而对于俄罗斯而言，此举不仅解决了其能源出口面临的燃眉之急，更重要的是，实现了与中国的深度捆 绑，双方在金融、军事、外交等多个领域的合作也因此变得愈发紧密，形成了一个更加牢固的战略伙伴关系。 特朗普政府所担忧的一幕，终究还是发生了。美国的能源出口之路变得愈发 ...
