美国副国务卿萨罗杰斯指责，布雷东是欧洲《数字服务法案》的"幕后策划者"。这部全世界最严厉的互 联网监管法规，要求大型社交平台对非法内容、虚假信息及算法透明度承担法律责任。 如果不遵守相关规定，相关企业最高将面临其全球年营收6%的天价罚款。 国际秩序的微妙之处在于，规则的制定者往往是第一个打破规则、也是第一个要被打的人。 来源：牛弹琴 现在，欧洲情绪很不稳定。 美国这是在公开打脸。欧洲制定数字政策，美国反对也就反对吧，这是欧洲自家的事情，但美国开始大 棒挥舞，直接制裁了制定数字政策的欧洲官员。 第一个被美国制裁的，就是法国前财长、欧盟委员会前委员蒂埃里·布雷东。 除布雷东外，被美国制裁的，还有四位，分别是： 德国非政府组织"仇恨援助"（HateAid）的霍登贝格和巴隆， 总部位于美国的"打击数字仇恨中心"（CCDH）的英国籍CEO艾哈迈德， 以及全球虚假信息指数（GDI）联合创始人梅尔福德。 为什么要制裁？ 美国国务卿卢比奥的理由是：这5人"曾组织并胁迫美国平台，审查、删除和压制不认同的美国观 点"，"特朗普政府将不再容忍这种公然的跨境审查行为。" 因此，5人被美国拒签！ 你们敢针对美国社交平台，那美国就制裁你 ...

166吨战略资源险些外流，96吨被追回！ "有期徒刑十二年！" 2025年12月16日下午，广东省深圳市中级人民法院内，审判长的声音掷地有声。被告席上，主犯王武彬 面如死灰，双腿发软。 166吨！整整166吨锑锭，差点就被这帮人偷运出境了。 你可能要问了：锑是什么东西？值得国家这么大动静？ 12月16日至18日，三天之内连发三条重磅消息：深圳法院宣判27人走私166吨锑锭大案，96吨被成功追 回；商务部宣布已批准部分稀土出口通用许可； 与此同时，美方刚启动111亿美元军售，美国农业部就发现一笔13.2万吨的对华小麦订单被取消。 这么说吧，锑这玩意儿，美国人做梦都想要。 它是制造热成像仪的关键材料，更是半导体产业离不开的"工业味精"。 2024年8月，商务部、海关总署联合发布公告，把锑列入出口管制清单。说白了，国家已经明确表态： 这东西，不是你想卖就能卖的。 可偏偏有人不信邪。 根据深圳中院披露的案情，2025年2月到3月，短短两个月时间，王武彬就与境外走私团伙勾结，组织了 一条完整的走私链条。 他们的手段有多狡猾？ 第一招：夹藏伪装。把锑锭藏在正常货物里，外面套上合法包装，海关不仔细查根本发现不了。 第二招： ...

美方策划数月 媒体普遍认为，此次行动标志着美国对委内瑞拉的施压行动显著升级，且还将持续下去。路透社称， 委内瑞拉附近海域还有大约 30艘油轮受到美 国某种形式的制裁。6名知情人士对路透社表示，美国正准备扣押更多运输委内瑞拉石油的船只，美军正在海上监视这些油轮和目前停靠在委内瑞 拉港口的一些船只（这些船只要么正在维修，要么正在装载货物），并等待它们驶入国际水域后再采取行动。 按照外媒说法，这一行动迅速引发寒蝉效应。路透社称，航运消息人士称，美方行动已使参与运输委内瑞拉原油的船东、运营商和海事机构提高 警惕 ，许多人正在重新考虑是否按计划在未来几天从委内瑞拉水域起航。消息人士称，美方行动导致至少一家货运公司暂时中止了3批新装载货 物的航行，这些货物为总计近600万桶委内瑞拉原油。《华盛顿邮报》称，据一位与委内瑞拉政府有联系的人士透露，此次扣押事件令委内瑞拉当 局感到不安。 委内瑞拉外长希尔10日发布政府公报，谴责美方的行动是"无耻的盗窃"以及"国际海盗行为"。英国广播公司（BBC）称，马杜罗称，美国"开启了 一个新时代，一个加勒比海盗犯罪的时代"。 美国全国广播公司（NBC）称，这次戏剧性的扣押事件加剧了人们的猜 ...

Core Insights - The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has implemented export controls on foreign items and related technologies containing Chinese mineral components, effective from October 9, 2025, under the principle of "long-arm jurisdiction" [1][3]. Policy and Regulations - The export control applies to products containing 0.1% or more of Chinese heavy mineral components or utilizing Chinese mineral technology, requiring approval from Chinese authorities [3]. - Export applications for military users or those related to the development of weapons of mass destruction will be directly rejected [3]. Impact on Semiconductor Industry - China holds a dominant position in the mineral sector, with 37% of global mineral reserves and over 70% of the refining and separation processes, particularly controlling 87% of the global smelting capacity for high-purity heavy minerals used in lithography machines [5]. - ASML is facing an unprecedented supply chain crisis due to the new regulations, with internal assessments indicating a potential 30% decrease in EUV lithography machine capacity if mineral supply disruptions continue [5][7]. - The delivery cycle for each EUV lithography machine is expected to extend from 24 months to 36 months, impacting major semiconductor manufacturers like TSMC, Samsung, and Intel, which are in critical phases of building next-generation chip factories [7]. Defense Industry Consequences - The U.S. defense industry is also affected, with Lockheed Martin's F-35 radar sensitivity declining by 23% due to a lack of neodymium magnets, and Boeing's MQ-25 drone project facing risks due to shortages of mineral permanent magnet motors [9]. - A significant 78% of guided systems in existing U.S. weapon stockpiles are reported to be facing mineral supply crises [9]. Global Supply Chain Repercussions - The export controls have led to a 60% reduction in global EUV lithography mirror coating capacity, with China being the sole producer of high-purity gadolinium gallium garnet crystals necessary for precise temperature control in lithography machines [11]. - Companies attempting to bypass Chinese minerals face challenges, with alternative materials resulting in a 40% cost increase and a 30% performance decline [9]. Strategic Responses - The Chinese semiconductor industry is exploring unique strategies to overcome external technology blockades, such as the "non-lithography compensation" strategy proposed by New Kai Lai, which aims to optimize DUV lithography processes to achieve EUV-like precision [11][13]. - Domestic development of EUV photoresists and auxiliary materials has seen significant progress, with over 30% of key photoresists achieving domestic production rates [13]. Industry Restructuring - The global semiconductor supply chain is undergoing deep restructuring due to China's mineral controls, with the EU aiming for an 80% self-sufficiency rate in minerals by 2030 and the U.S. Department of Defense investing $90 billion to build a domestic mineral supply chain [15]. - The shift from "efficiency-first" to "security-first" in supply chains poses challenges to ASML's global production model [15]. Technological Challenges - Attempts by Japanese companies to replace critical minerals have shown significant performance degradation, with experiments indicating a 47% performance drop in gallium-based magnets after 3000 hours of operation [17]. - China's dual-review mechanism for export controls requires comprehensive data tracing from mines to finished products for any foreign products using Chinese minerals, increasing supply chain transparency challenges for ASML [17].

Core Viewpoint - The recent export control measures on rare earths by China have raised concerns among U.S. politicians, who claim these actions will significantly impact various industries globally, including semiconductors and artificial intelligence, while China asserts that these measures are not targeted at specific countries and are aimed at preventing illegal use of rare earths [1][3][4]. Group 1: China's Position - China has communicated its policy objectives regarding the new export controls to relevant countries, including the U.S., to reduce misunderstandings [3]. - The export control measures are designed to prevent rare earths from being used for large-scale weapons and are not a ban on exports [3][4]. - China maintains that it has the right to decide how to sell its rare earths, given that it produces over 90% of high-performance rare earth magnets globally [3][4]. Group 2: U.S. Response and Criticism - U.S. officials have accused China of "long-arm jurisdiction," but this perspective is seen as a misinterpretation of China's legitimate trade regulations [4][5]. - The U.S. has been expanding its own security boundaries, implementing export restrictions on semiconductors and AI, which raises questions about the consistency and rationale behind its actions [5][6]. - The U.S. has faced criticism for its approach to trade negotiations, which is perceived as coercive rather than collaborative [8]. Group 3: Future Implications - The tension surrounding these export controls highlights a shift in trade negotiation dynamics, suggesting that the U.S. may not hold the upper hand in future discussions [6]. - Both China and the U.S. have agreed to engage in new rounds of economic talks, indicating a potential for dialogue despite existing tensions [7].

Core Viewpoint - The recent Chinese export control measures on rare earths have raised concerns among U.S. politicians, who claim these actions will significantly impact various global industries, including semiconductors and artificial intelligence, and are seen as an attempt to seize control of global supply chains [1][4]. Group 1: Chinese Export Control Measures - China has clarified that the new export control measures are not aimed at specific countries and that compliant applications for civilian use will be approved [3][4]. - The measures are intended to enhance the export control system to prevent illegal flows of rare earths to inappropriate uses, such as weapons of mass destruction [3][6]. - China's position as the largest producer of rare earths, supplying over 90% of high-performance rare earth magnets globally, underscores its significant role in the supply chain [4][6]. Group 2: U.S. Response and Perception - The U.S. Trade Representative claimed that the U.S. was not informed prior to the implementation of these measures, framing them as a broad threat to global supply chains [1][5]. - There is a recurring narrative in the U.S. that portrays China's legitimate trade measures as creating uncertainty or manipulating supply chains, despite the reality of dependency on Chinese rare earths [4][5]. - The U.S. has been expanding its definition of national security, imposing export restrictions on China in sectors like semiconductors and AI, which raises questions about the legitimacy of its actions [6][7]. Group 3: Dialogue and Negotiation - Both China and the U.S. have agreed to engage in new rounds of economic negotiations, emphasizing that effective dialogue should not be based on pressure or threats [7][8]. - The underlying tension stems from the realization that the U.S. may not hold the negotiating power it once assumed, highlighting a shift in trade dynamics [7].
