温铁军教授这些年讲经济主权的时候，经常提到一个直白的意思：中国要想少受外部掣肘，就得让人民币在国际上多使上劲。 他不是说要去硬碰硬取代美元，而是说不能老让一种货币把全球交易卡得死死的。 中国这些年确实在往这个方向走，步子稳，但看得出来决心不小。 美元今天的地位，得从二战后说起。那时候美国工业完好，黄金储备占全球大头。 1944年夏天，四十多个国家代表在新罕布什尔州布雷顿森林开会，商量战后货币怎么管。 结果定下来美元跟黄金直接挂钩，其他国家货币跟美元挂钩，固定汇率。 这样一来，美元就成了国际贸易和储备的主心骨，美国在金融上的中心位置就这么立住了。 体系刚开始运行的时候，大家都觉得稳定。各国用美元结算，汇率波动小，贸易好做。美国也借这个机会，把铸币税收得稳稳的。 问题是时间一长，矛盾就出来了。美国自己收支逆差越来越大，黄金往外流。欧洲国家开始担心美元贬值，纷纷要求兑换黄金。 宽松的时候美元流出去多，别的国家资产价格容易被推高；紧缩的时候资本回流，又容易把汇率和债务搞乱。不少发展中国家在这中间吃过亏。 温铁军看这些事情，看得比较透。他长期研究怎么让中国经济少受外部控制，就提出人民币得主动多用起来。 不是为了跟美元对 ...

2月11日，美国众议院投了一次不同寻常的票。219票赞成，211票反对，共和党占多数的众议院，罕见 地通过了一项决议，公开反对特朗普对加拿大加征关税。6名共和党议员"倒戈"投下赞成票，这在美国 政治中是非常少见的场面。 与此同时，大洋彼岸，中国央行刚刚公布的数据显示，截至2026年1月末，中国黄金储备达到7419万盎 司，这已经是连续第15个月增持黄金。两件事放在一起看，信息量很大。 中国抛美债、增黄金，步步为营握牢主动权 很多人以为，中国抛售美债、增持黄金，只是偶然的市场操作，实则不然——这是中国蓄谋已久的战略 布局，每一步都踩在了美国经济的软肋上，既不盲目激进，也不被动防守，尽显大国谋略。 这些年，美国为了维持霸权地位，疯狂印钞发债，靠举债度日，债务规模一路飙升，美债的信用根基早 已千疮百孔。中国作为美债的主要持有国之一，早就看透了其中的风险，没有被美国的霸权迷魂汤迷 惑，反而一步步有序抛售美债，逐步降低对美元资产的依赖。这一次，中国再次出手抛售美债，直接成 为压垮美债的"最后一根稻草"，让美债价格腰斩，创下17年来的最低纪录。 可能有人会问，中国为啥要这么做？说白了，就是不想被美国"绑架"，不想看着自己 ...
