中国海关数据显示，7月份中国从加拿大进口的油菜籽同比下降55%，至17.3万吨，为2023年7月以来的 最低水平。这些进口货物的价值也同比暴跌49%，至1.0206亿美元。 事情的起因是加拿大单方面的贸易保护主义行为。在中国需求暴跌之前，加拿大宣布自2024年10月1日 起对中国电动车、钢铝产品加征高额关税。而为了回应加拿大的这一"行为"，中方于今年3月份决定对 加拿大农产品征收高额关税，其中包括对油菜籽征收100%的关税。 加拿大曾是中国最大的油菜籽进口来源国。 官方数据显示，2023年和2024年，加拿大供应了中国全部 的油菜籽进口。但现在，中国已经开始探索其他选择。 上个月中澳油菜籽贸易的官方数据尚未公布，但澳大利亚粮食行业的消息人士表示，中国已经开始采 购。一位业内人士表示："中国正在从澳大利亚试购约5万吨油菜籽，作为试运。" 来源：金投网 政策转往往会催生出新格局，在加拿大政府宣布对中国电动汽车加征100%关税的那一刻起，加拿大作 为中国主要油菜籽供应国的地位就已经面临威胁。 一直以来，澳大利亚都不是中国主要的油菜籽出口国，主要是因为其产品未能满足中国的进口标准。官 方数据显示，中国上一次大规模采购 ...

21世纪经济报道记者赖镇桃报道 中国电动汽车的出海之路，正在迎来新的拐点。 美国咨询公司荣鼎集团本周发布的报告显示，2024年中国电动汽车产业链的海外投资历史性超过国内投 资，去年该行业的国内投资约150亿美元，海外投资则达到160亿美元，反映出国际市场俨然成为中国电 动车的新战场。 值得注意的是，电池恰是中国电动汽车产业链对外投资的大头，海外总投资的74%都集中在电池领域。 荣鼎的报告指出，考虑到运输成本和下游客户要求就近配套，中国的电池制造商更加国际化，引领着早 期的海外扩张。 在国产锂电的出海浪潮里，欧洲、东南亚一直稳居前两大首选地，今年以来，中资电池厂下南洋的势头 愈发凶猛。据21世纪经济报道记者不完全统计，仅今年上半年，宣布在东南亚投资建厂的锂电企业就有 亿纬锂能（300014）、欣旺达（300207）、珠海冠宇、宁德时代（300750）、瑞浦兰钧、海四达、双登 集团等近十家电池巨头，还有湖南裕能（301358）、星源材质（300568）等锂电材料厂商也紧随其后， 宣布将在东南亚建设产能。 在受访专家看来，目前东南亚在中国锂电的出口份额占比还不算高，但其战略地位、快速推进的新能源 转型，都预示着这里 ...

美国政坛最近的两件事闹得很热闹。一是美国大豆协会给特朗普发警告信，说豆农快扛不住了，要他赶 紧找中国谈大豆采购；二是美财长贝森特放话，中美经贸对话 "很好"，11 月前再碰面，想借 90 天关税 暂停期敲定协议。看着没关系，其实是一回事，就是美国自己搞出来的麻烦，想让中国来收拾。 先看这封警告信。中国是全球最大的大豆买家，过去五年买走六成出口大豆，美国豆农以前靠中国市场 活得滋润。但特朗普一搞贸易战，对中国加高额关税，一切都变了。中国不傻，订单直接转去南美，尤 其是巴西。2023-2024年，中国还买了美国54%的出口大豆，总价值132亿美元；但是路透社的最新报道 中说，中国现在买的美国大豆，只有从巴西进口的15% 特朗普收到美国农民的警告信 秋收要到了，中国没给美国下新订单。美国豆农慌了，怕损失再扩大，只能逼特朗普。之前特朗普喊着 让中国多买美豆，豆农还高兴了一阵，大豆期货涨了点，结果没几天就打回原形。中国早有准备，不光 多买巴西大豆，还砸120亿美元帮巴西建港口铁路，把运输时间从45天缩到33天。这样一来，美国大豆 想要出口给中国就更难了。 在这样的情况下，美国财政部长贝森特只能一边吹特朗普的政绩，一边对 ...
