最近国际政坛出了个大反转。当地时间1月4日，特朗普在空军一号上公开说，和中国的关系非常好。他还直接说，美国有关税这张牌，中国也有对付美国的 办法。更关键的是，他直接说4月份要出访中国，强调一系列事务都不影响当下的合作。 熟悉特朗普的人都知道，这态度跟他之前的强硬做法完全不一样。他新政府上台后，在经贸方面一直很强硬，动不动就对包括中国在内的贸易伙伴加征关 税，甚至还计划进一步提高部分产品的税率，把经贸关系搞得很紧张。 可关税这张牌没打多久就没用了。美国国内相关行业意见很大，企业老板们一次次给政府施压，抱怨高额关税把供应链搞乱了，产品卖得贵了、销量降了， 连就业都受了影响。迫于压力，美国政府只能推迟部分产品加税，甚至对一些商品免了关税。这也让特朗普终于明白：关税不是万能的，中国的反制措施同 样能让美国吃大亏。 对特朗普来说，这次访华也是一笔政治账。通过元首外交稳定中美关系，既能为国内经济创造好环境，还能提高自己的政治声望，为后续选举积累资本。但 咱们也得看清，他的表态里有功利心。所谓"事务不影响合作"，其实是想让中国在一些国际问题上妥协，同时在经贸合作中多占便宜。 以前特朗普说话总爱强调美国的优势，很少主动说中国 ...

编辑：[微风] 2025年的这轮中美经贸博弈，或许能作为全球贸易史上的经典案例被反复研究。这场税率数字的对冲 下，更是场关于认知偏差、产业链重构与战略定力的大碰撞。 这场预谋已久的"经济闪电战"会在不到两周的时间里演变成了让发起者措手不及的战略调整，一切还得 从华盛顿决策层根深蒂固的傲慢与错觉来说起。 在今年4月那轮极限施压开始前，特朗普团队内部实际上的情绪都是挺乐观的。按照《纽约时报》2025 年4月披露的细节，美方官员私下里曾信誓旦旦预测，只要拿出"高关税"这根大棒，无论对方体量多 大，都会因为对美国市场的深度依赖迅速求和，甚至成为首批主动寻求豁免的妥协者。 这种预判不得不说还是在基于2018年的旧经验上提起的，他们完全忽略了中国经济在过去七年间从内需 市场的急剧扩容到全球供应链的去中心化布局。 这种认知偏差导致的第一后果就是美方战术动作的完全走形。4月2日当美国通过第14257号行政令单方 面宣布对包括中国在内的多国初始加征24%关税时，他们想的是通过制造突然的压力迫使贸易伙伴在数 日内回到谈判桌前。 为了配合这一策略，白宫甚至专门留出了"反应期"来期待各国的回应。但现实和美国的期待南辕北辙， 中国在4 ...

在美国庆祝平安夜的当天，特朗普对中国发起了新的战斗。 美国贸易代表办公室发布的公告一经公布，便引起了全球的广泛关注。公告的内容指出，美国决定从2027年6月开始，对中国出口到美国的半导体产品加征 关税。就在2025年年末，美国突然对半导体领域向中国发起了新的贸易挑战，再次扰乱了中美经贸博弈的局势。仔细分析就会发现，选择2027年作为关税生 效的时间，并非偶然，这其中隐含着美国政治和经济上的双重考虑。首先，特朗普此举显然是在为即将到来的中期选举做准备。作为总统，特朗普一方面需 要展示对中国的强硬立场，另一方面也要确保美国国内经济稳定。通过宣布加税，他既可以满足国内保守派选民的诉求，巩固自己的政治基础；同时又将关 税的生效时间推迟到选举之后，尽量避免经济摩擦影响到美国经济数据。 这种既能进攻又能后退的策略，本质上是将中美经贸问题再度工具化。其次，美国此举的目的是规避国内产业的反弹风险。这次加税主要针对的是中国生产 的成熟制程半导体，这类芯片虽然技术含量不高，但它们在美国汽车、医疗、航天、电网等多个关键行业中得到广泛应用。简而言之，美国民众的日常生活 离不开这些芯片，短期内也无法脱离中国的供应链。如果贸然加税，不仅 ...
