中国政府今年4月对七类中重稀土元素及若干磁铁实施出口限制，要求出口商申请许可。据路透社报 道，知情人士最新透露称，中国已在稀土磁铁行业全面启用追踪系统，要求稀土磁铁生产商在线申报更 多信息，包括交易量及客户名称。 报道称，自中国暂停稀土出口后，许可证的发放一直进展缓慢——4月中旬，中国向欧洲企业发放了少 量许可证，上周又向几家美国公司发放了一些，但全球供应正在急剧萎缩。报道提到，一些稀土磁铁制 造商在等待出口许可期间暂停生产，这种持续数周的生产空档正向供应链下游传导，可能很快影响到制 造商。 《纽约时报》援引专门研究中国的汽车咨询师迈克尔·邓恩的话称："中国可能让美国的汽车装配厂陷入 瘫痪。" 【环球时报记者 倪浩 环球时报驻德国特约记者 青木】路透社5日引述知情人士的消息称，中国已针对 稀土磁铁行业引入追踪系统，这是自今年4月中国对稀土相关物项实施出口管制以来，进一步收紧对这 一战略资源的出口管制。多家外媒近日报道称，稀土全球供应正在萎缩，一些国家担忧汽车等行业的生 产受到影响，为此倍感焦虑。 路透社称，最新审查机制显示，中国对稀土及磁铁产品的出口管制可能正朝着常态化方向发展。 外媒提到，中国是全球最大的稀 ...

近段时间，白宫经常传出希望中美高层将要举行通话的消息，足以看出美国已迫不及待想和中国谈判。 可面对白宫方面声称中美高层或在本周通话的言论，中方的一句话，狠狠打了美国的脸。 中国手中的"稀土牌"，成为了我们与美国的"关税战"中最好的反制手段。这从特朗普政府频频暴怒跳脚，出台一系列对华限制措施的表现可以看出来。 美国一边不断发起对华制裁，一边又企求对华通话，葫芦里卖的什么药呢？其实原因很简单，那就是美国迫切希望中国能放松稀土出口管制，被"卡脖子"的 美国，有些喘不过来气了。 6月2日，白宫新闻秘书莱维特言之凿凿，称特朗普在本周可能与中方领导人通话。而在此前，美财政部长贝森特等多名美国官员都表示中美两国元首将举行 通话。 咱们也不知道美国人是从哪得来的消息，把没影儿的事说得跟真的似的。6月3日，中国外交部例行记者会上，针对记者提问此事，外交部发言人林剑用简短 的一句话做出回应。 "我没有可以提供的消息。"短短几个字，已把中国的态度表达的十分清楚。美国所期待的中美高层通话，想和我们谈贸易问题，在我们没有看到美国做出实 质性让步，是绝无可能的。 美国"政客新闻网"做出分析称，特朗普政府之所以大肆散布中美将通话的消息，一 ...
