面对来自美国的多元风险，中国已经找到应对之策，近日特朗普连收三个坏消息，中美或许已经分出胜负，为什么？ 国家外汇管理局7号发布数据，除显示中国外汇储备发生小规模变化外，还表明截至8月末，我国央行已经连续第10个月增持黄金，黄金储备达到 7402万盎司。对特朗普而言这肯定不是个好消息，因为近年中国一直在稳定且持续的减持美债，即使偶尔增持，也多是在减持长期美债的同时，适 当购入部分短期美债。现在数据更显示中国正在持续购入黄金，这一切信号都指向一个结论。 在这个时候，特朗普或许也会对美国财政部长贝森特的言论产生同感。此前贝森特曾提到过，美国在现代就没遇到过中国这样的对手，因为美国过 去面对过的对手，要么只有军事能追上美国，经济实力不足，要么经济直逼美国，军事却是短板，唯独中国同时是美国经济和军事上最大的对手！ 谷歌前CEO施密特也承认如今已不再是中国远落后于美国的时代了。 一定程度上说，中国崛起本身就意味着一个时代的告终，美国霸权体系正在崩溃，全球局势正在向着多极化的方向发展，美国休想永远依靠霸权去 对各国颐指气使、肆意掠夺。也正因如此，他们针对中国的图谋必定失败，若执意这么做，他们只会让美国自身的衰退加速！ 美国 ...

在近期举行的2025年中国国际服务贸易交易会上，帮助企业应对汇率风险是焦点之一。事实上，传统国 际贸易多采用美元结算，在部分交易场景中，我国企业需经历两次货币兑换，不仅面临双重汇率风险， 还需承担兑换手续费和点差成本。而双边本币互换协议则推动直接使用本币结算，有效降低了汇率波动 风险和交易成本。我国企业借此能够实现更精准定价，有利于对经营进行长远规划，提升国际市场竞争 力。 其二，增强人民币国际货币功能。 双边本币互换协议促使更多国家接受并使用人民币作为双边贸易结算和投资支付的媒介，同时也推动人 民币跨境支付系统（CIPS）的发展。此外，与他国央行签署本币互换协议，直接促进人民币进入各国 外汇储备体系，增强了人民币储备货币的功能。对我国而言，在近年来美国国债收益率和美元指数显著 波动的环境下，这类协议有助于外汇储备多元化，降低美元波动对外汇储备价值的冲击。 更为重要的是，我国与沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋等能源出口国签署的本币互换协议，有力推动了石油与人民 币结算机制的建立，使我国能够直接用人民币购买石油和天然气等大宗商品。从长远来看，我国作为全 球主要大宗商品进口国之一，通过人民币结算机制，能够更直接地影响铁矿石、石 ...
