美国"政治新闻网"7月28日援引匿名北约官员的消息称，美国可能正在将30%的兵力撤出欧洲。五角大 楼正秘密执行冷战后最大撤军行动，30%驻欧美军整整2万人，突然接到了调令。 提问：如果是真的，美国为什么要这样做？ 军事评论员邵永玲：根据美国五角大楼的数据，美国在欧洲有接近8.5万名军事人员。这个数字当然不 是固定不变的，大概在7.5万至10.5万之间波动，因为会有临时部署。俄乌冲突爆发后，拜登曾下令向欧 洲增派2万名美军，目的是加强与乌克兰接壤国家的防御能力。特朗普要撤的很可能是这批增援部队中 仍然留在欧洲的部分。 （文章来源：央视新闻） 其实，历届美国政府都考虑过缩减在欧洲的军事部署规模，相比之下，特朗普持有更强烈的美国优先的 政治理念，认为欧洲应该处理好自己的防务问题。总的来说，美国撤军是大概率的。不确定的是撤多 少、以多快的速度撤，如果规模不大，而且循序渐进，那可能不会显著削弱北约的威慑力，如果特朗普 大幅削减兵力或关闭关键基地，影响就会很大。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the implications of the Trump administration's "security for economy" strategy, using South Korea as a case study, highlighting how economic concessions were made under the pressure of security threats from the U.S. [1][18] Economic Concessions - South Korea agreed to a 15% tariff on exports to the U.S., which, although lower than the initially threatened 25%, still undermines the competitiveness of South Korean companies in the U.S. market [3] - South Korea was compelled to invest $350 billion in the U.S., with $150 billion specifically allocated for the U.S. shipbuilding industry, adversely affecting South Korea's own leading shipbuilding sector [3] - An additional $100 billion in U.S. liquefied natural gas purchases was mandated, leading to significant capital outflow and compromising South Korea's energy security strategy [3] Security Pressure - The U.S. military's potential withdrawal of 4,500 troops from South Korea created significant political turmoil, leading to heightened fears beyond mere economic threats [5] - The U.S. justified the troop withdrawal as a strategic adjustment to reduce vulnerability in front-line deployments, which was perceived as a form of extreme pressure on South Korea [8] Global Trade Dynamics - South Korea's concessions are part of a broader trend where allies have succumbed to U.S. pressure under the "America First" policy, with other countries like the UK, Japan, and the EU also making significant economic sacrifices [10][12] - Countries like Canada, India, and China have adopted different strategies in response to U.S. pressure, with Canada taking a hard stance, India employing delay tactics, and China successfully forcing concessions from the U.S. [14] Long-term Implications - The compromises made by South Korea reflect a successful implementation of the Trump administration's strategy, which, while yielding short-term economic benefits for the U.S., risks eroding long-standing alliances and trust among allies [18]

其次，中国利用资本力量重构全球供应链，提升自身经济竞争力。"China Plus N"战略的实施是这一举措的突出体现。中国银河证券与中金公司共同出资10 亿美元成立"东南亚基础设施基金"，重点投资马来西亚和印尼的港口和制造业，这不仅加强了中国在东南亚地区的影响力，也为中国企业提供了新的市场和 发展机遇。珠三角3000多家出口企业因此获得了8%的退税红包，有效缓解了对美贸易下降的压力（上半年对美贸易下降9.3%，但对东盟出口却增长了 5.9%）。 最后，中国以军事实力反制北约在亚太地区的军事活动。中俄两国宣布将于8月举行"海上联合-2025"军演，中国海军和空军多艘战舰和战机已集结待命。俄 罗斯媒体报道称，此次军演规模将涵盖日本海至东海，是对美国在亚太地区军事巡航行动的直接回应，展示了中俄两国维护地区稳定的决心。 一场关税狂欢的惨烈收场：特朗普的"美国优先"如何遭遇多重反噬 特朗普在7月30日社交媒体上得意洋洋地宣称："一年前美国死气沉沉，现在它是全球最'火热'的国家！"他将此归功于他的关税政策，并威胁要对中国商品 加征三位数的关税，以实现所谓的"再次伟大富强"。然而，这一狂妄自大的言论与残酷的现实形成了鲜明对 ...
