Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent proposal by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham to impose a 500% tariff on countries purchasing Russian oil, particularly targeting China and India, highlighting the contradictory nature of U.S. foreign policy and its implications for international relations [3][7][15]. Group 1: U.S. Tariff Proposal - The proposed legislation aims to pressure China and India to cease purchasing Russian oil by imposing exorbitant tariffs, reflecting a strategy to force these countries to align with U.S. interests [3][7]. - The U.S. has been criticized for its dual approach of supporting Ukraine while simultaneously engaging in trade practices that involve Russian oil, raising questions about its credibility [3][10]. Group 2: China's Oil Imports - In 2023, China imported over 120 million tons of oil from Russia, accounting for more than 20% of its total oil imports, indicating the strategic importance of this relationship for China's supply chain [7][10]. - China has diversified its oil imports, becoming the world's largest crude oil importer in 2023, with total imports exceeding 500 million tons from various regions, making it difficult for the U.S. to disrupt this cooperation through tariffs [10][11]. Group 3: Historical Context and Implications - The article references past instances of U.S. trade policy reversals, such as the 2018 trade war and the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, suggesting a pattern of inconsistent U.S. foreign policy that undermines international trust [9][15]. - The potential approval of the 500% tariff could signify a significant shift in U.S.-China relations, moving beyond trade disagreements to a more confrontational stance [15][16].

如今，欧洲面临着微妙而复杂的局势。它一方面要应对来自俄罗斯的威胁，另一方面又在南北之间被中 美两大国牵动。究竟欧洲能否在这样的国际博弈中站稳脚跟，还不完全确定，这很大程度上取决于它自 身的表现。是被中美俄三方共同瓜分利益，还是在这四国间展开一场博弈，现在显得尤为重要。 在这一复杂局势中，俄罗斯只能选择全力攻克乌克兰，或者干脆退出战斗，当前这取决于其自身的实 力。不过，明显缺乏中间折中的选项，这也是欧洲持续支援乌克兰的重要原因。他们深知未来的局势会 如镜中之花，因此自然不肯放松步伐。 特朗普发起的关税战更是让欧洲面临双重压力，不过他们意识到，真正的价值必须靠自身的努力来实 现。曾经的欧洲，虽然多年来有着较为优越的地位，但现在情况早已不再，他们也开始意识到，必须为 自己的未来而奋斗。 可以推测，欧洲内部的协调正在逐步成型，否则马克龙不会以这种姿态出现在东南亚及香格里拉峰会 上。马克龙显然承认中美这两位大佬的地位，但他并不甘心沦为被动被收割者，因此必须采取出兵乌克 兰的措施，以此压制住俄罗斯。 目前，欧洲的目标是削弱俄罗斯，并为自己争取更大的发言权，而这一切都将取决于俄乌战争的结局。 乌克兰对俄罗斯后方军事基地的袭 ...

泽连斯基：对乌克兰的大规模袭击是普京的政治选择 金十数据5月27日讯，乌克兰总统泽连斯基周一表示，俄罗斯对乌克兰目标的大规模空袭是俄罗斯总统 普京的"政治选择"，他呼吁加大对莫斯科的压力。"这没有军事意义，但显然是一个政治选择——普京 的选择，俄罗斯的选择——一个继续战争、摧毁生命的选择，"泽连斯基在晚间的视频讲话中说。泽连 斯基表示，过去三个晚上的900多架无人机和导弹袭击表明，俄罗斯在"玩弄外交"。他说，俄罗斯"应该 得到全面的压力，可以采取一切措施来限制他们的军事能力。" ...

新华社北京5月26日电 在俄罗斯对乌克兰发动大规模袭击后，美国总统特朗普25日猛批俄罗斯总统 普京和乌克兰总统泽连斯基。他说，对普京24日晚对乌展开军事打击的行动感到"不爽"。 当天早些时候，有媒体记者问及俄乌战争的最新进展时，特朗普回答说，自己对普京感到非常"不 爽"，因为袭击造成了大量人员伤亡。 特朗普说："我们正在谈判，他却发射火箭弹攻击基辅和其他城市，我非常不喜欢这样。"他表示自 己认识普京很久了，不知道这次普京为何会这样做。 特朗普当天还在同一帖文中批评了泽连斯基，称"泽连斯基总统的言论也对他的国家毫无益处。他 说的每句话都在制造麻烦，我不喜欢这样，最好立刻停止"。 俄乌两国本月16日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔重启直接谈判，双方达成了交换千名战俘的协议。23日，大 规模交换战俘第一阶段启动，双方各自移交270名军人和120名平民。24日，双方各自移交307名战俘。 （记者：黄恒） 特朗普25日在社交媒体平台"真实社交"上发帖，就俄向乌城市发射导弹和无人机批评普京，称他一 直同普京保持着非常好的关系，但普京现在变得"疯狂"。 美媒报道说，这是迄今特朗普发表过对普京最严厉的批评。 据乌克兰官方25日发布的消息， ...

如今，美欧国家唯一能做的，就是通过对俄制裁来施压。美国日前威胁俄罗斯，如果普京不打算停战，将面临更严厉的制裁。然而，特朗普在制裁问题上的 反应通常只是"打雷不下雨"，这一点大家都清楚。因此，在美国威胁制裁之后，俄方很快发布消息，称正在制定停战协议，这表明美国的制裁威胁并未能奏 效。与此同时，欧盟也宣布实施新一轮制裁，但问题在于，欧盟成员国的立场并不统一。冯德莱恩心里难道不清楚，这些国家中的很多成员与俄罗斯依旧保 持着密切的经济联系，甚至通过第三方国家进行能源和商品交易，只要有利益，几乎没有什么他们做不出的事情。 尽管布鲁塞尔一再对俄罗斯实施制裁，很多欧盟国家依旧在与俄罗斯进行能源交易，甚至连近期最积极支持乌克兰的法国，也在暗地里继续与普京进行能源 交易。最近，法国政府向俄罗斯支付了55亿欧元，以确保继续进口俄罗斯的廉价天然气。而在欧盟国家对俄罗斯的能源交易总金额中，法国占据了近一半份 额。 对于基辅政府来说，他们似乎已经没有太多翻盘的机会。尽管欧洲一些国家口口声声支持乌克兰，鼓励泽连斯基与俄罗斯"拼到底"，然而在实际的军事援助 上，这些国家几乎没有什么实质性的支持。与此同时，这些国家继续为普京提供资金，间接支 ...

欧元兑美元涨0.1%，报1.1235。媒体报道称德国新任总理弗里德里希·默茨和美国总统唐纳德·特朗普一 致认为贸易争端应迅速解决，并讨论了两国密切合作的必要性。根据德国总理办公室周四晚间发布的声 明，自周二上任以来与特朗普首次通话时，默茨还强调了德国对乌克兰的坚定支持。他明确表示德国支 持特朗普为推动结束俄乌战争所付出的努力，特朗普则祝贺默茨当选德国总理。 ...

泽连斯基与川普梵蒂冈会晤后，共和党联邦参议员格林厄姆表示："这场战争是由普京的野蛮入侵造成的，对普京领导下的俄罗斯的进一步制裁，我已获 得近60名两党议员的一致通过"。60名议员就意味着该项法案可以提交表决。 此前格雷厄姆提议的对俄罗斯二级制裁，即对购买俄罗斯能源国家征收500%的关税，获得两党各自25名议员的联署，这当然是配合川普对俄罗斯二级制 裁的威胁，而不是许多川黑解读的共和党内部反对川普的乌克兰政策。 实际上，现在尽快结束乌克兰战争，是共和党主流和部分民主党的共识。 卢比奥重申，俄乌战争没有军事解决方案，和平只能通过谈判实现，双方必须作出妥协。 这个制裁的厉害之处在于，在美俄仅剩下几十亿美元的贸易额度之外，凭空制造一个杠杆，因为这所剩的贸易额加100倍的关税都没有意义，最多两国脱 钩断链断交。 但二级制裁的威力在于，让俄罗斯和美国都有贸易的国家二选一，诸如印度巴西南非土耳其中亚国家这些俄罗斯相对友好的国家，自然要施加影响力给俄 罗斯：别逼我们，二选一的话你知道的，能源世界很多个国家卖，但美国市场，只有一家。 当地时间4月27日，美国国务卿卢比奥接受NBC采访时，再次警告乌俄双方，若无法尽快达成和平协议 ...

Core Viewpoint - The significant rise in gold prices in 2023, from 620 CNY per gram to a peak of 836 CNY per gram, has sparked a nationwide investment trend in gold, reminiscent of the "golden aunt" phenomenon in 2013, raising questions about the sustainability of this trend [2] Historical Context of Gold Price Surges First Phase (1970-1980) - Gold prices surged from 35 USD to 850 USD, marking a 2300% increase following the collapse of the Bretton Woods system [4] - This phase led to global central banks adjusting their foreign exchange reserves, increasing gold purchases and challenging the dollar's dominance [5] - Gold production entered an expansion cycle, with countries like South Africa and Russia ramping up mining activities [5] - The oil crisis and high inflation positioned gold as a key asset against currency devaluation [5] - The Federal Reserve was compelled to adopt aggressive interest rate hikes, reaching 20%, to curb inflation, which ultimately ended the gold bull market but initiated the development of modern financial derivatives like gold futures [5] Second Phase (2008-2011) - Following the 2008 financial crisis, gold experienced a second bull market with a 166% increase [7] - The demand for gold as a safe haven led to the democratization of investment, exemplified by the rise of gold ETFs and regular central bank gold purchases [7] - The consumer market saw structural changes, with high gold prices driving a shift towards lightweight jewelry and innovations in gold leasing and collateral financing [7] Third Phase (2018-Present) - The current bull market, driven by geopolitical tensions and policy conflicts, has seen gold prices rise over 100% from 2018 to 2025 [9] - Increased market volatility and speculative trading in futures markets have been observed, with COMEX gold futures premiums reaching 60 USD per ounce and physical inventory surging by 18.6 million ounces in a month [9] - Competition from alternative assets has become more pronounced, with significant growth in platinum orders and a 30% increase in sales of K-gold and silver jewelry in China [9] - Fluctuations in monetary policy have led to a shift in the correlation between gold and U.S. equities, reflecting gold's dual role as a safe haven and a risk asset [9]
