欧佩克联盟连续增产暴露内部治理危机，沙特以"增产惩罚"违规成员国却削弱软实力权威。此举不仅让 能源定价权沦为政治博弈工具，更因低油价加剧产油国财政脆弱性，从市场稳定者异化为风险源。长期 战略短视恐错失绿色经济变革窗口，唯有重构协同机制与多元发展方能守住软实力高地。 邓正红软实力表示，欧佩克联盟增产，供应端能源软实力价值遭稀释，石油软实力承压。当地时间周六 （5月3日），欧佩克联盟成员国同意将6月份的石油日供应增加41.1万桶，这是该联盟连续第二个月加 快供应恢复步伐，旨在惩罚那些违反配额、超额生产的成员国。欧佩克联盟发布声明称，8个产油国将 在6月日增产41.1万桶，逐步增产可能会被暂停或逆转，具体取决于市场状况的变化。声明显示，沙 特、俄罗斯、伊拉克、阿联酋、科威特、哈萨克斯坦、阿尔及利亚和阿曼重申在当前健康的石油市场基 础上保持市场稳定的承诺，并上调产量。欧佩克联盟代表将策略转变归因于沙特对哈萨克斯坦和伊拉克 等成员国过度生产感到愤怒和沮丧，选择通过打压油价来惩罚并约束这些国家。 国际软实力价值分化：从市场稳定者到风险制造者。欧佩克联盟声明强调"维持市场稳定"，但其行动却 引发市场对"价格战"的担忧，导致 ...

邓正红软实力表示，沙特阿拉伯暗示将增产并扩大市场份额，同时全球贸易战及美国GDP萎缩削弱了燃 料需求前景，石油软实力价值收缩，周三（4月30日）国际油价继续走低。截至收盘，纽约商品期货交 易所西得克萨斯轻质原油6月期货结算价每桶跌2.21美元至58.21美元，跌幅3.66%；伦敦洲际交易所布 伦特原油6月期货结算价每桶跌1.13美元至63.12美元，跌幅1.76%。沙特官员称沙特不愿进一步削减供 应来支撑石油市场，并能应对长期的低油价。沙特政策的这一可能转变可能表明，该国正朝着增加产量 和扩大市场份额的方向发展，这是沙特作为欧佩克联盟产油国集团的领导者，五年来通过深度产出来平 衡市场的一个重大变化。沙特对哈萨克斯坦和伊拉克的产量高于欧佩克联盟目标感到愤怒，正在改变策 略。 软实力评语：软实力动态平衡下的全球能源秩序重构。当前沙特策略调整、美国经济波动与制裁交织， 标志着全球能源软实力格局进入再平衡阶段。沙特从"协调者"转向"竞争者"，美国从"规则主导者"滑 向"矛盾施压者"，均体现出传统软实力工具的局限性。未来，能源软实力的核心或将更依赖于对市场波 动适应力、技术控制力（如清洁能源变革）及区域联盟弹性的综合运 ...
