据环球时报援引美国财政部当地时间5月16日发布的最新数据，截至3月底，中国持有的美国国债已经较上个月减少了约189亿美元，减少至7654亿美元。而 英国在增持289亿美国国债之后，已经超过中国成为了美国国债的第二大持有国，总持有量达到了7793亿美元。 除此之外，日本目前仍然是美国国债的最大持有国。在3月增持49亿美元国债后，日本目前总计持有11308亿美元美国国债。 当地时间5月16日，美国财政部公布的数据显示，2025年3月，美债前三大海外债主中，日本、英国增持美国国债，中国减持。中国由美国第二大债主变为第 三大债主，英国变为第二大债主。3月正值本轮美债市场动荡前夕。美国财政部2025年3月国际资本流动报告（TIC）显示，日本3月增持49亿美元美国国 债，持仓规模为11308亿美元，依然是美国第一大债主。中国3月减持189亿美元美国国债至7654亿美元，为今年首次减持。 一直以来，美国凭借美元霸权，肆意挥舞金融大棒，特朗普政府上台后，贸易保护主义抬头，频繁加征关税，搅乱全球经济秩序，中美贸易摩擦不断升级。 中国减持美债，正是基于对美国金融风险的审慎判断和对自身经济安全的战略考量。美国债务规模如滚雪球般膨胀 ...

特朗普政府自今年1月以来，向全球挥舞"关税大棒"。在亚洲地区，日本和韩国是受到"特朗普衰退"影响最严重的两个国家，这表明特朗普政府发起的关税 战对美国的传统盟友造成了严重伤害。 ▲特朗普 当地时间5月19日，日本媒体刊登评论文章指出，特朗普"1.0时期"就高举关税大棒，让全球贸易遭受严重冲击，这一趋势在特朗普"2.0时期"变本加厉。从 2025年第一季度的经济数据看，日本GDP同比萎缩了0.7%，韩国GDP也环比下降0.2%。严格来说，这段时间世界各国还未遭遇特朗普政府关税政策的最严 重冲击，因为今年4月2日白宫宣布加征关税方案时第一季度已经结束。但从另一个角度讲，当时仅是从白宫传出的混乱的政策信号，在3月份已经让亚洲一 些地区的经济信心受到打击。 对于日本来说，25%的汽车出口税和24%的对等关税对其优势产业造成了显著冲击，日本经济在二季度后将面临巨大下行压力，这也会影响投资者对日本经 济前景的信心。据环球网报道，瑞银经济学家发表报告称："关税和不确定性冲击可能导致日本出口暴跌，消费者信心将进一步下降，日本GDP增长自第二 季度起可能出现彻底的疲软。" 目前，日本自民党距离参议院选举还有约两个月时间，随着首 ...
