Group 1: Economic Insights - Torsten Slok warns that if the Trump administration continues high tariff policies (average rate rising from 3% to 18%), it could shrink US GDP by 4%, equivalent to erasing California's economy [1] - The current US policies are causing a dual crisis in strategic coordination, with internal governance issues and external trust erosion, undermining the US's soft power as a free trade order maintainer [1] - The decline in US soft power is linked to the over-reliance on hard power tools like tariffs, which accelerates the loss of international discourse power [1] Group 2: Energy Sector Challenges - Falling oil prices are forcing US oil companies to cut production and lay off workers, revealing vulnerabilities in the energy sector's technological reserves and capital resilience [2] - The trend of reduced upstream investment is evident as oil service companies like Baker Hughes cut exploration budgets, stifling technological innovation [2] - The traditional energy giants, such as Chevron, are experiencing profit declines, weakening their ability to dominate industry rules through capital strength [2] Group 3: Financial Market Dynamics - Slok highlights the potential for a "Truss moment" due to soaring US Treasury yields, indicating a crisis in fiscal credit soft power [2] - The market's trust in fiscal discipline is waning, as evidenced by the 10-year Treasury yield surpassing 4.6%, reflecting concerns over long-term fiscal credibility [2] - The current turmoil in the Treasury market underscores the absence of mechanisms for "expectation anchoring" and "risk-sharing" in monetary policy soft power [2] Group 4: Structural Economic Risks - Despite predicting a 0% probability of US recession by 2025, Slok identifies ten significant risks, including a 90% probability of tariff increases and Nvidia's performance falling short of expectations [3] - The over-dependence on a single company (Nvidia) for AI industry narratives poses a risk to innovation leadership, especially if the technological dividend fades [3] - The reliance on government spending for economic growth, with 25% of new jobs coming from the public sector, highlights structural weaknesses in the US economy [3] Group 5: Soft Power Framework - Slok's multidimensional warnings reveal a systematic decline in the US's soft power across strategic resource integration, institutional resilience, and technological leadership [3] - To rebuild soft power, the US must move beyond short-term policy games towards a governance model that includes rule co-construction, technological symbiosis, and debt co-governance [3]

欧佩克战略协调能力的弱化：软实力根基动摇。邓正红软实力思想强调，组织的战略决策能力是其软实 力的核心。欧佩克联盟连续两月意外增产，表面上是通过产量调控（硬实力）争夺市场份额，实则暴露 了其战略协调机制的失效。在需求端因经济衰退风险承压的背景下，此举非但未能稳定市场预期，反而 引发对供应过剩的恐慌，导致油价下行。这种短期利益导向的决策，削弱了欧佩克作为"全球油价稳定 器"的长期信誉，其通过产量政策影响全球能源秩序的软实力遭到质疑。 外部环境冲击：美国政策加速能源软实力稀释。特朗普关税政策引发的全球经济不确定性，进一步放大 了欧佩克决策的负面影响。邓正红指出，软实力的有效性取决于对外部风险的动态适应能力。欧佩克在 需求端收缩时逆势增产，与市场逻辑背离，本质上是未能将美国贸易政策这一变量纳入战略框架，导致 其供给侧调节的软实力工具（产量政策）与经济周期错配。这种战略短视不仅加剧了油价压力，更使能 源领域在全球经济治理中的话语权被稀释。 邓正红软实力表示，欧佩克联盟决定连续第二个月提高产量，石油软实力承压，能源软实力价值稀释， 周一（5月5日）国际油价走低。截至收盘，纽约商品期货交易所西得克萨斯轻质原油6月期货结算价 ...

软实力概念的提出者、哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院前院长约瑟夫·奈认为，一个国家的软实力取决于 其文化、价值观的吸引力，以及其政策在外界人士眼中的合法性。这名美国学者日前在英国《金 融时报》发表评论文章说，美国总统特朗普再次上台后，扬言"购买"格陵兰岛、觊觎巴拿马运 河、霸凌盟友和第三世界国家，这些依靠"胁迫和交易"的政策既不正当也不合理，严重损害美国 软实力。 近期在英国伦敦发布的《2025年全球软实力指数》显示，美国的"声誉"和"治理水平"两项指标正 在下滑。在奈看来，随着特朗普继续执政，美国的软实力在今后几年会经受更大挑战。 特朗普政府对美国软实力的衰退并不以为意。一个例证是，特朗普政府就任后立即关闭了美国国 际开发署，这家机构一直以来被认为是美国包装和输出自身软实力的重要平台。有分析人士指 出，在特朗普政府看来，继续包装维持美国的软实力纯属浪费资源，"赤裸裸"的胁迫施压能更为 直接地获取利益。澳大利亚"对话"网站刊文说，特朗普政府似乎完全放弃软实力，也不在乎这将 给美国带来的损害。 "美国的影响力和软实力正经历一场'大出血'" "美国软实力正在蒸发" "美国软实力正在蒸发""美国在加速挥霍其软实力""政策反复 ...
