美国试图通过提高关税将制造业拉回国内的战略显然是失败的。此举不仅未能达到预期效果，反而将越南推向了中国，这是一种战略上的重大失误。 原本，经过三个月的艰苦谈判，越南与美国就关税税率达成了协议。然而，就在签字临门之际，美国单方面毁约，将关税翻倍。此举不仅让越南政府颜 面尽失，更重创了其经济命脉。越南赖以生存的转口贸易遭受重创，原本通过越南出口到美国的商品，如今面临高达40%的惩罚性关税，几乎被彻底封 杀。这不仅让越南政府预期的关税收入大幅缩水，更让在越投资的企业面临严峻的生存挑战。许多企业，特别是依靠成本优势竞争的越南组装产业，利 润空间被严重压缩，纷纷寻找新的出路。即使是像TCL这样的中国企业，也在加大本地原材料采购比例，以应对日益增长的关税风险，其在越南的市场 份额虽然维持在14.4%，但已显露出应对美国政策压力的姿态。 越南的遭遇为东南亚各国敲响了警钟，也暴露了国际贸易规则的变革。美国单边主义的强势作风日益受到挑战，各国都在寻求更加可靠的合作伙伴。越 南放弃了此前模棱两可的策略，转而加强与中国合作，这并非一时冲动，而是基于长期战略考量做出的理性选择。 莫迪政府因对美妥协而在金砖组织中 地位不稳的教训，也为 ...
