中美达成了一项关于稀土供应的"谅解协议"，这不仅仅是一次简单的贸易往来，更像是一场博弈中的战术撤退。中国向美国企业发放了有效期仅六个月的稀 土出口许可证，涵盖风力涡轮机、喷气式飞机等多种用途，而作为回应，美国撤销了五月实施的对华限制措施。这一举动看似是对抗中的短暂和平，实则是 中方策略性的一招。 短期性的许可证安排，既保证了供应链短期内的稳定，也给未来留下了足够的谈判空间和反制筹码。 在中美贸易战的背景下，特朗普计划率领包括马斯克（特斯拉）、黄仁勋（英伟达）在内的十名顶尖CEO访华的消息，无疑为这场紧张的关系带来了新的变 数。 这些行业巨头代表着新能源、人工智能、半导体等关键领域，他们对中国市场的依赖程度极高。此次访问不仅是商界对政治决策的一种无声抗议，更是对美 国对华"脱钩"政策失败的公开承认。面对国内债务危机、低迷的支持率以及经济压力，特朗普不得不寻求与中国的合作以缓解内部矛盾。 特朗普可能希望通过这次访问解决美债危机，挽救其不断下滑的支持率，并缓解中美之间的经贸压力。随着中国连续减持美债，美元霸权受到了前所未有的 挑战。同时，由于贸易战的影响，美国经济增长放缓，就业市场受损。 而且，截至目前为止，没有任 ...

特朗普上任不到6个月，对中国出现3次重大误判。如果特朗普迟迟不改正，美国迟早会为此付出代价。 1月20日，特朗普再次登上了美国总统的位子，特朗普也成为了美国第二个间隔连任的美国总统，也是第一个背负很多项指控的总统。 自从特朗普上台到如今，不到半年的时间，就在对华政策上接连出现错误的判断，这些误判不仅让美国在经贸战中自食恶果，更是体现了美国对中国发展的 错误解读。 特朗普的第一个误判就是关税，特朗普政府信心满满，觉得只要对中国商品加征高额关税，就能把中国逼到谈判桌前，让中国全盘接受美国提出的苛刻贸易 条件，从而主导中美贸易交锋的走向。 一方面，实施对等关税反制，你加税，我也加，一点不落下风；另一方面，出台新的出口限制，从源头上对美国进行反制。 中国还在WTO起诉美国的关税战，联合欧盟、金砖国家发起了反单边主义贸易联盟，原本想靠着145%的高关税来逼中国求饶，没想到美国农民就先因为大 豆等农产品的滞销，发起了抗议。 特朗普政府想象着中国会因为害怕失去美国这个大市场，而不得不做出让步。可现实却是中国留有后手。中国面对美国的贸易霸凌，没有如特朗普所想的那 样，而是采取了反制措施。 根据4月份的报告显示，中国对美出口的 ...
