2025年12月22日，观察者网披露的消息点破了这层窗户纸——这个所谓"硅和平倡议"，根本不是什么和平合作的象征，而是冲着中国稀土供应链来的。 《南华早报》说得更直接：这压根就是一个以切断中国关键矿产影响力为目标的联盟。 美国拉起"硅和平"这面旗，表面是奔着关键技术合作去的，骨子里却是一场赤裸裸的战略围堵。 日本、韩国、以色列、新加坡这些亚洲国家纷纷加入，看似阵容齐整，实际上各怀心思，谁也不是真心要跟着华盛顿一条道走到黑。 这个联盟的成员名单，乍看确实不弱。 日本有精密制造的底子，韩国握着半导体制造的核心命脉，澳大利亚坐拥大量未开发的矿产资源，新加坡靠物流和金融体系撑起全球供应链节点，荷兰手握 全球唯一的极紫外光刻机技术。 把这些资源拼在一起，理论上能搭起一套绕开中国的高端技术产业链。 但问题恰恰就出在"理论上"三个字上。 理论再漂亮，碰上现实利益，立马碎一地。 美国想拿这些国家当棋子，可人家不是木偶，更不是任人摆布的工具。 高市早苗领导下的日本政府一边配合华盛顿表态，一边悄悄扩大对华稀土永磁体进口。 李在明主政的韩国更清楚，本国芯片产业七成以上的封装测试依赖中国长三角的配套体系。 他们加入联盟，更多是应付美 ...

近日，美国贸易代表格里尔在华盛顿的一次会议上公开表示，加拿大和墨西哥不能成为中国等国家的出口中转站。他还进一步提到，美国与中国之间的贸易 规模可能需要缩减，并认为中美之间实体货物贸易下滑25%是朝着正确的方向发展。这一言论引发了外界关注，因为它的背景正好是在另一个重大消息发布 之后。 12月3日，美国财长贝森特确认，中国正在按照贸易协议计划采购1200万吨美国大豆，并表示这一采购将在2026年2月底前完成。贝森特强调，中国 正在认真履行协议中的每一项条款。根据航运数据，至少六艘运载美国大豆的散货船将在12月中旬前抵达墨西哥湾沿岸的码头，这是自大豆贸易因关税战停 滞几个月后，首次出现的大规模出货。路透社的报道指出，中国进口商上月已经订购了近200万吨美国大豆，尽管后续确认的采购量不多，但整体采购进度 仍在推进。 整之间不断磨合。 此次事件的最大意义不仅仅在于大豆采购或某一条表态，而在于它展示了中美贸易走向的复杂性。未来，双方可能在合作框架下稳步推 进，但也会在竞争框架下保持谨慎。中国坚持市场规律，而美国则更注重自身利益。无论外部声音如何变化，这一基本判断不会改变。现实已经证明，合作 能够带来收益，而对抗则会制造 ...
