那么，英美资源集团与巴西的镍矿项目，最后是如何被中企低价收购的呢？事情背后其实涉及一个较长的过程。原本，2024年美国与英国合作在巴西投产， 进展初期相当顺利。但随着特朗普上台，他对巴西施加了高关税压力，美巴关系迅速恶化，英美资源集团在当地的镍业务因此陷入困境，只能寻求转手。当 时有两家买家表现出浓厚兴趣：一家是荷兰某大型矿企，另一家则是中企。结果出乎意料，尽管荷兰方面开出了更高的价格，但却败给了出价少了整整4亿 美元的中方企业。 按常理，价高者得，但这次并未如此。荷兰矿企对此耿耿于怀，甚至提交了一份资料，声称中国已经掌握全球60%的镍产量，如果再收购巴西镍矿，将导致 市场过度集中，并可能出现"卡脖子"风险，增加全球供应链的不确定性。听上去理由充足，但事实并非如此。 首先，"中国掌控全球60%镍产量"的说法，直接遭到英美资源集团否认。他们认为荷兰矿企夸大数据，是为了制造紧张氛围，逼迫交易向自己倾斜。事实 上，英美资源集团之所以最终选择中企，根本原因在于其稳定可靠，而荷兰矿企自身却存在监管障碍和财务问题，无法让卖方放心。换言之，失败的根本在 于荷兰方面的不稳定，而非价格问题。 特朗普越是想要得到的东西，往往越难 ...

【环球网报道】"关税战背景下，法国对中国投资态度转暖"，比利时"欧洲动态"网站以此为题报道称，法国负责对外贸易的部长级代表洛朗·圣-马丁当 地时间27日在一场讲话中暗示对中国投资持开放态度。报道说，这是在欧盟与美国贸易关系紧张之际，法方释放出希望与中方缓和关系的信号。 报道称，圣-马丁当天在巴黎一场商业论坛上发表讲话，支持与中方建立更紧密的经济联系，但表示投资应当围绕特定行业开展，与技术转让挂钩，并 涉及合资企业。 "前方有一条道路……我们尚未抵达，但我认为这对双方来说都完全是有利的。"圣-马丁说。他同时呼吁"开放市场与相互投资"，并警告欧洲"不能再墨 守成规"，因为贸易已经成为一种"权力工具"。 欧盟与美国8月21日发表联合声明，公布了双方在7月达成新贸易协议的具体细节。根据联合声明，美国将对汽车、药品、半导体和木材等大多数欧盟 输美商品征收15%的关税。稀缺自然资源（如软木）、飞机及零部件、仿制药等得到豁免。荷兰国际集团宏观研究主管卡斯滕·布热斯基表示，欧盟与 美国这一协议中存在大量潜在摩擦点，未来或引发摩擦升级，且许多"意向性"的执行监督和落实方式仍不明确。更值得警惕的是，这份协议凸显欧盟 对美国依赖加 ...

愚人节后的第二天，美国宣布对贸易伙伴发动关税战，并且以所谓的"对等关税"来包装这场行动。实际上，这一说法并不对等，因为关税是美国单方面征收 的，缺乏按具体产品设定的细粒度，也没有考虑不同产业的实际情况，而是采用一刀切的普遍税率。更具争议性的是，政府甚至把印度列为受益对象，给予 印度50%的统一关税税率。随着8月份逐步落地的具体关税税率表的公布，国际社会看到了美国对部分国家实施广泛税负的举动，这背后的经济意图逐渐清 晰。美国此举已引发广泛反弹，全球贸易关系再次紧张。关税战被视为一把双刃剑，短期或能推动财政收入的口径，但长期却可能损害全球供应链与本国消 费者利益。 从政府口径看，美国似乎已经进入"赢定了"的节奏。外媒报道称，财政部长贝森特公开宣称，美国每年的关税收入有望超过5000亿美元。数据也确实显示， 7月和8月海关关税收入显著上升，使得财政部对全年关税收入更有信心。换言之，美国政府将关税战视作增加财政收入的主要途径，在关税收入攀升之际， 财政部长显得颇为欣喜。然而，在关税收入快速上升的同时，普通美国消费者却在承受更高的生活成本。贝森特所夸下的"每年5000亿美元增收"的承诺，实 际转嫁给了美国家庭——进口商 ...

国际法、贸易专家提示，未来需在以下三方面预防风险：第一，来自美方更多的垂直行业调查，譬 如"232调查"、"337调查"等，其危害不逊于所谓"对等关税"；第二，由于外溢效应，中国外贸企 业恐怕要预防更多的来自其他国家的"双反"调查；第三，其他突发叠加关税（二级制裁关税）和惩 罚性关税等。 一位税务专家也对笔者坦言，现在美国的关税条目混乱且并不详细。不少外贸企业对于产品品类如何 报税也产生了疑惑，譬如，如果家具品类中出口钢制家具的企业，究竟是钢铝关税先征收一遍，未来 家具关税再征收一遍，究竟怎么算？ 诸多疑惑，请看下文知晓。 特朗普政府以关税作为其施政的重要内容手段，关税威胁并未伴随所谓"对等关税"的公布而结束， 但绝大部分经济体并不具备同美国维持"恐怖平衡"的能力，因而特朗普政府的关税政策将大概率贯 穿其"2.0时期"，并且不断地发生动态变化。 ...
