钻石恒久远，一颗永流传——但当它被用在导弹制导系统上时，游戏规则就彻底改变了。10月9日，中国商务部与海关总署联合发布公告，对超硬材料及其 相关技术实施出口管制，直指美国军工与半导体产业的"咽喉"。 这一刻，被誉为"工业牙齿"的超硬材料，已从车间走向战场。中国在全球超硬材料市场已形成绝对性统治。数据表明，咱们中国超硬材料工业的总产值大概 有1000亿元。在金刚石和立方氮化硼单晶的产量上，咱们国家可是排在世界第一的。特别是工业金刚石，产量超过了全球总产量的95%。 郑州在产业集聚区发展指数的综合评价里，可是排第一的。它的产业链覆盖度超过了70%，已经形成了一个以高新区为核心的产业集群。这次出口管制，主 要管的不是普通的培育钻石，而是有战略意义的"功能性金刚石"。这种特殊的金刚石跟普通钻石可不一样，它有很高的红外透过率和很低的光学自发射率， 从深紫外到微波毫米波段，都能很好地透过。 就因为这一特性，它成了发展机载、弹载、舰载等红外搜索与跟踪系统里，光学窗口和整流罩的关键材料。在高功率微波武器、高能激光武器等新型武器系 统、核反应堆ECRH用介质窗、太赫兹波段用行波管等领域，功能性金刚石同样不可或缺。 美国和日本很 ...

Core Insights - China's recent export controls on rare earths and related technologies represent a significant shift in global trade dynamics, impacting high-tech industries worldwide [1][5][9] - The new regulations particularly affect ASML, the only company capable of producing advanced EUV lithography machines, which are essential for chip manufacturing [3][5] Group 1: Impact on ASML - ASML's reliance on Chinese rare earths for critical components like laser systems and precision lenses makes it vulnerable to China's export restrictions [3][5] - Reports indicate that ASML may face shipment delays of weeks or months for products containing Chinese rare earths, as exports will require Chinese approval [3][5] - The company's previous alignment with U.S. policies, including halting the supply of advanced EUV machines, has backfired, leaving it exposed to supply chain disruptions [3][5][9] Group 2: Strategic Implications - China's export controls are not merely economic maneuvers but strategic actions that reshape global supply chains and power dynamics, particularly in the context of U.S.-China relations [5][7][9] - The timing of the new regulations coincides with upcoming U.S.-China talks, signaling China's intent to assert its influence and counter U.S. efforts to restrict technology access [7][9] - This situation illustrates a broader realization among Western industries that control over technology does not equate to control over essential raw materials, which are predominantly sourced from China [5][9] Group 3: Global Supply Chain Dynamics - China's dominance in rare earth production, accounting for over 70% of global supply, underscores its critical role in the high-tech supply chain [3][5] - The recent developments highlight a shift in perception, where China is seen as a key player capable of dictating global rules rather than merely reacting to external pressures [7][9] - The situation serves as a wake-up call for Western industries, emphasizing the importance of securing stable access to essential materials for technological advancement [5][9]

中国精准反击美国，三管齐下直击其战略要害！以美国的方式回击美国，特朗普愤怒发文，局势变得愈加复杂。中美博弈正在发生深刻的 战略逆转！ 在全球聚焦中美关税"休战期"临近结束时，中国商务部发布了数份公告，精准击中了美国的薄弱环节。公告显示，中国将对稀土产品的出 口进行管制，涵盖稀土开采、冶炼、分离以及磁性材料制造的全链条技术，明确表示对用于军事目的和14纳米以下芯片研发的出口申 请"原则上不予许可"或采取"个案审查"。这一新规将于11月8日生效，恰巧在中美关税"休战期"结束的前一天。 英国《金融时报》指出，这一措施与美国常用的对第三国实施设备出口管制的做法非常相似。换句话说，中国正在利用美国惯用的"工具 箱"进行反击，美国这回也尝到了"被卡脖子"的滋味。美国的心理冲击可想而知，当中国首次以"国家安全"为理由对全球稀土供应链施加影 响时，美国的反应也很特别。 特朗普在社交媒体上发表长文，一方面宣称"美国的垄断地位比中国更强大"，另一方面又称中国的这一举措"充满敌意，前所未见"。情绪 从愤怒到困惑，再到威胁，甚至荒谬地将稀土管制与加沙停火协议挂钩，质疑"时机是否巧合"。特朗普的失控反应，实际上暴露了美国战 略精英难以 ...

2025年了，世界依旧绕不开中美这对"老对手"。但现在这盘局，已经不再是简单的强弱较量，而是两个 方向、两种心态的较真。一个在想怎么往前走，一个却还在回头找责任人。 美国著名评论员扎卡利亚最近的评论，像是泼了盆冷水："美国真的迷路了。"他说的不客气，但却实 在。今天我们就来聊聊，为什么他说美国迷失了，而中国却正在一步一步走得更稳。 其实从这场大会也能看出来，中美之间现在的问题不只是语言风格不同，而是思维方式已经发生了偏 差。美国还在纠结"过去哪里出错"，而中国在思考"未来怎么走得更稳"。这两种节奏，决定了两种完全 不一样的外交走向。 贸易政策的两面镜子：一个设限，一个开放 除了联合国的场面话，具体政策的走向才是真正能看出战略思路的地方。尤其是贸易这一块，更是反映 国家战略心态的"放大镜"。 特朗普二度上任后，延续了他之前的做法，加税、设限，几乎成了标配。不光对中国，对其他发展中国 家也不手软。只要觉得对美国制造业有威胁，就立刻加关税，目的就是要让别人"知难而退"，留住制造 业回美国。这种做法短期来看可能有点效果，但长期呢？别人被你拒之门外，也就不会再把你当首选合 作对象了。 一场大会，两个节奏 前段时间的联合 ...

要知道，一艘20万吨级的散货船，单次停靠费用可能会达到1000万美元。 这可是要比当初美国所说的对中国货轮每艘征收100万至150万美元的进港费，整整又增加了十倍。 近段时间，事关中美博弈有了新的变化，因为美国宣布，从本月14日起，美国海关与边境保护局将会依 据，美国贸易代表办公室"301调查"框架，对中国拥有的、运营的或建造的船舶征收港口费用。 同时也会负责执行收费。 这已经不是普通征税这么简单了，而是直接瞄准中国航运命脉的"精准外科手术式打击"。 而且美国不仅是针对中国运营的船只，连中国建造的船只也会收，不止打击外贸，还想打击中国的造船 业。 简直就是岂有此理，让人无比生气，甚至是用了一招最下流、最无耻、最狠的招数。 那么很多人就要问了，这究竟有多狠？ 这直接将中国贸易成本拉升了15%。 可以视为直接加征了15%的关税。 这可不是简单的成本增加，而是成本爆炸。 但是 我们都知道，中国制造业的普遍利润可没有这么高。 ...

Group 1 - The core issue revolves around the U.S.-China economic dispute, with Trump making concessions to China amid domestic political challenges, particularly the impact on U.S. soybean farmers [1][3]. - The decline in U.S. soybean exports, especially to China, has significantly affected American farmers, who were once Trump's supporters, leading to a loss of confidence in his administration [3]. - Despite efforts to find alternative markets and promises of subsidies, the inability to replace China's demand for soybeans has forced Trump to reconsider trade relations with China [3]. Group 2 - The ongoing "soybean tug-of-war" illustrates the depth of U.S.-China competition, which has evolved from traditional diplomatic and military confrontations to a more complex economic and technological rivalry [5]. - China's strategic responses, such as rare earth export controls and halting soybean imports, have effectively countered Trump's unconventional tactics, showcasing a "mixed warfare" approach [5]. - China's military strength plays a crucial role in this competition, with recent military displays enhancing its negotiating power against U.S. sanctions and blockades [5]. Group 3 - While large-scale military conflict between the U.S. and China is unlikely, localized conflicts in hotspots like the Taiwan Strait or South China Sea could arise as the U.S. seeks to contain China's rise [7]. - The U.S. military faces challenges such as outdated equipment and budget issues, reducing the likelihood of a significant confrontation with China [7]. - The complexity and danger of the ongoing "invisible battlefield" between the two nations indicate that their competition will persist [7].
