Core Viewpoint - The "899 Clause" hidden in Trump's tax reform proposal, known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," could initiate a financial war between the U.S. and China, as well as with other countries globally [1][2][3]. Summary by Relevant Sections 899 Clause Overview - The 899 Clause allows the U.S. government to impose taxes on countries deemed to have "tax discrimination" by the U.S. Treasury, which includes various taxes such as Under-Taxed Profits Rule (UTPR), Digital Services Tax (DST), and a range of other taxes considered discriminatory [4][7].

尊敬的审阅人员和品鉴读者：本文是经过严格查阅相关权威文献和资料。 全文数据有据可依，可供查证。 说到中国的态度，别觉得我是在空谈。自2021年开始，中国就明确表示不允许比特币在境内交易，认为它不过是一个虚拟商品，而不是货币。为什么？因为 比特币的价格波动太大，今天涨得飞起，明天就可能腰斩，谁能承受这种风险？如果你用比特币买个馒头，今天它值10块，明天就变成5块，商家和消费者 都难以接受。而且比特币的交易匿名性很强，容易被用来做洗钱和非法交易。除此之外，比特币的挖矿极其耗电，每天一台矿机的耗电量，足够一个普通家 庭用一个月。这跟中国的环保目标完全背道而驰。所以，中国坚决不碰比特币。 你有没有想过，如果比特币真成了全球流通的货币，我们的世界会是什么样子？这问题我最近一直在想——中国早就给了明确的回答：比特币不是钱，根本 不能用作法定货币。美国呢？他们为什么还在死磕比特币？ 为什么美国要死磕比特币？答案其实很简单——美元霸权在下滑。2024年，美元在全球外汇储备中的占比降到了57.3%，创下三十年来的最低点。其他国家 纷纷在减少对美元的依赖，美国自然不甘心。通过比特币，美国希望重新拉拢全球资本，把世界各国绑在自己的 ...
