谁能想到，一条天然气管道突然停运，竟会引发连锁反应，让数百万人的生活陷入困境。今年9月初，乌克兰通过罗马尼亚境内的跨巴尔干输气管道从阿塞 拜疆进口的天然气供应完全中断。这条能源大通道的突然哑火，让整个地区的能源格局为之一震。 根据公开数据，最后一次天然气输送记录停留在8月31日，之后流量计上的数字直接归零。起初有消息称是罗马尼亚与摩尔多瓦之间的管段出现技术故障， 但具体是哪个阀室出了问题，或是压力传感器发生异常，至今没有确切说法。这种信息真空让局势更加扑朔迷离。 这条输气线路原本是多方共赢的合作典范。阿塞拜疆开采的里海天然气，通过跨巴尔干管道经罗马尼亚、摩尔多瓦输往乌克兰，各国从中都获得了可观的经 济利益。管道就像一条银线，将地理上并不接壤的国家串联成利益共同体。但现实往往比设计更复杂——再精密的系统也经不起一个小零件的故障。 面对断供，乌克兰不得不紧急启动备用方案。数据显示，9月第一周匈牙利和斯洛伐克向乌克兰输送了超过1.45亿立方米天然气，波兰也提供了1.01亿立方米 的应急供应。这些数字看似可观，实则只是杯水车薪。摊开地图就能发现，乌克兰现在完全依赖邻国的反向供气，这种被动局面让能源安全变得岌岌可危。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent data indicates a significant decline in energy trade between China and the United States, with Chinese imports of U.S. energy products dropping to nearly zero, raising questions about the reasons behind China's sudden withdrawal from the U.S. energy market [1][3]. Group 1: Trade Dynamics - In July, China's imports of U.S. energy products, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), crude oil, and coal, hit a five-year low, totaling less than one ton, which is a stark contrast to previous volumes [1][3]. - This is not the first instance of China reducing U.S. energy imports; a similar situation occurred during the height of the trade war in 2019, but the current context shows a more permanent shift in energy trade dynamics [3][5]. - Since March, China has ceased purchasing U.S. LNG, and by June, crude oil orders from the U.S. also dropped to zero, with coal imports plummeting from millions of tons to less than one ton per month [3][5]. Group 2: Strategic Shifts - China is actively diversifying its energy supply sources, significantly increasing imports from Russia and Central Asia, while also engaging with suppliers from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, and Africa [5][7]. - The U.S. energy sector is facing a shrinking market share in China, as the latter has gained control over its energy security and is no longer reliant on U.S. imports [5][7]. - Despite attempts by the U.S. to impose sanctions and tariffs, China's energy procurement strategy remains unaffected, with U.S. energy companies struggling to find alternative markets to compensate for the loss of Chinese demand [5][7]. Group 3: Market Reactions - U.S. energy firms are experiencing significant challenges, with new LNG projects and crude oil export plans being delayed due to the absence of the Chinese market, which is described as an "unfillable gap" [5][7]. - The ongoing situation is expected to have long-term detrimental effects on the U.S. energy industry, as acknowledged by U.S. media and analysts [5][7]. - Internal divisions within the U.S. regarding energy sanctions against China are evident, with European countries hesitant to align with U.S. policies that could jeopardize their own energy needs [7].

据报道，最近全球能源市场变天了。中国对美国能源的进口量，居然直接掉到几乎为零。原油、液化天 然气、煤炭这些大宗商品，连"象征性"的采购都没了。外界惊呼，这不是短期波动，而是中美贸易战下 的"结构性脱敏"——中国主动把美国能源完全排除在外。面对这种局面，特朗普气急败坏，不但自己扬 言要对中国加征100%关税，还开始拉拢27个盟友国家一起对中国下狠手。 7月的海关统计一出来，多少人都傻了眼。中国对美国能源的采购，创下五年以来的新低。液化天然 气、原油和煤炭加起来，不足一吨。连"个位数"都快凑不齐了。现在直接归零，等于给美国能源出口商 当头一棒。 其实，这并不是第一次中国对美能源采购清零。2019年那次贸易战高峰期，也出现过零采购。可那时中 美还有缓和的余地，双方一签协议，数据立马反弹。如今不一样了。整个能源贸易格局，已经发生了质 的转变。 这轮"清零"背后，根本不只是情绪波动。各类权威数据显示，自3月起中国就没再买美国LNG，6月起美 国原油订单也归零。煤炭进口量从年初的百万吨级，直落到每月不到一吨。经济账、战略账都算得明明 白白。 分析机构都指出，这次中国是有备而来。不是一时冲动，而是战略决心。中国能源进口体系 ...
