波兰维斯瓦金融与商业学院国际关系学教授 诺瓦克：我衷心希望中欧双方能够携手捍卫全球贸易规则和世贸组织框架。当前世贸组织确实存在不足，运行 受阻，但这已是我们拥有的最佳全球贸易框架。我们必须共同维护世贸组织规则。 诺瓦克表示，希望中欧之间能够携手捍卫多边贸易体系。 波兰维斯瓦金融与商业学院国际关系学教授诺瓦克在接受总台记者采访时表示，他认为美国的关税政策正在影响世界贸易体系，而美国自身终将成为加征关 税的最大输家。 波兰维斯瓦金融与商业学院国际关系学教授 诺瓦克：我认为美国将成为加征关税的最大输家。在当前贸易体系中，各国终将通过各种方式，重新调整全球 贸易格局，因此美国将处于非常不利的地位，其他国家不会与美国维持这种高关税贸易体系，最终必然导致全球贸易格局的重构。回顾特朗普首个总统任期 就能发现，加征关税根本不会带来就业增长，因此我认为美国消费者将为关税埋单，美国也必将因此成为输家。 ...

全球贸易深水炸弹：美欧新框架协议背后的地缘政治博弈 2023年8月21日，一纸联合声明从白宫掷出，如同深水炸弹般引爆了全球贸易市场。这份由美国和欧盟达成的框架协议，远不止是简单的贸易协定，它预示 着全球地缘政治格局可能发生重大变革。协议内容涵盖农业、人工智能芯片、网络安全等19个关键领域，字里行间渗透着精心布局的博弈意味。 欧盟的慷慨让步与美国的谨慎回应 表面上看，这份协议充满了相互让步的"艺术"。欧盟承诺对美国工业品实行零关税，这相当于单方面拆除了欧洲市场的工业壁垒，对美国制造商而言无疑是 巨大的利好。同时，欧盟还为美国的坚果、乳制品和肉类等农产品敞开了大门，提供了更优惠的市场准入条件。 然而，美国的回应却显得小心翼翼，甚至有些"抠门"。美国并未对等地取消所有关税，而是对欧盟的大部分商品，包括汽车、药品和半导体，只承诺最高 15%的关税。这是一种有限度的开放，与欧盟的慷慨姿态形成了鲜明对比。 时间表的玄机：为未来谈判预留空间 更值得玩味的是协议中的时间表。自明年起，美国将给予欧盟航空产品和医药制品等关键商品最惠国待遇，但这份优待将在2025年9月后收缩，仅保留飞机 零部件、通用药品等少数领域。这无疑是为未来 ...
