最近，中国的铁矿石采购公司要求所有国有钢铁厂停止采购澳大利亚的必和必拓铁矿石，哪怕这些铁矿石已经装船并且正驶向中国。这样的一决定，无疑让 澳大利亚措手不及。 2025年3月，美国宣布新一轮对华关税政策后，澳大利亚的股市迅速下跌，三天内就下跌了超过6%。澳元汇率也跌到了五年来的最低点。作为一个既没有直 接参与关税战，又因"转单效应"受益的国家，澳大利亚却在不知不觉中成为了这场风暴的中心。 在采访中，一位澳大利亚的跨国咨询公司CEO表示，通常市场动荡时，咨询需求会迎来高峰。但这一次，客户们却陷入了迷茫，"他们甚至不知道该问什么 问题"。这种前所未有的困惑，深刻影响着澳大利亚的经济。 在全球贸易的舞台上，中美两国的关税战吸引了全世界的目光，尤其是那些站在一旁的国家。然而，澳大利亚原本以为能安静地旁观，却没想到自己也被卷 入其中。 作为全球重要的资源和农产品出口国，澳大利亚与中美两国的经济联系非常复杂。虽然美国是澳大利亚的第四大出口市场，但其出口总额仅占约6%，理论 上受到关税影响应不大。然而，由于澳大利亚与亚洲经济体的紧密关系，美国的关税政策对其的间接影响却被放大了。 中国是澳大利亚最大出口市场。随着美国关税导致中 ...

中国拒绝购买美国大豆，这让美国高层彻底坐不住了，国土安全局也要横插一手，对中国叫嚣称：就算制裁到白宫停摆，也要对中国继续加税。大豆问题如 何反映美国当下的处境？我国又如何回应的呢？ 据路透社报道，当地时间9月28日，美国农业部公布数据显示，新一季度的美国大豆已经开始对外销售，但截止目前收到的中企订单依旧为零，相比较去年 同期650万吨的进口订单，这已经不是惨淡能够形容的了。 作为美国大豆的最大买家，2024年中国进口2210万吨，占美国全面出口份额的42%。但是从今年5月开始，中国就没有对美国发出任何一份大豆采购订单， 查阅资料发现，这是27年以来首次出现这种情况。 对此，金融时报在报道中表示，美国头号农产品出口跌停，中国拒绝购买美国大豆对豆农的打击是"毁灭性"的。美国大豆农户也表示，就算和中国达成了协 议，今年的收获季节也过去了。 要知道，中美已经连谈四场，但依旧没有在关税战问题上达成最终和解，按照此前一个月谈一次的频率，下一场也要到10月底，美国大豆的收获季节的确已 经过去，双方能否谈成还是个未知数，或许能够放开少量订单进口，但这对美国豆农而言依旧是惨痛的损失，甚至很多人要因此而破产。 那么原本要从美国采 ...
