从年初开始，双方的贸易谈判进入了拉锯战。4月份，美国加征了关税，中国则通过暂停稀土出口作为回应，导致美国企业的库存迅速下降，急需补充。5 月，两国在瑞士日内瓦达成了一个90天的关税停火协议，部分稀土供应得以恢复。然而，中国并没有完全放开出口，依然保留了许可证审批，特别是对军用 申请进行严格审查，基本上将军工需求完全拒绝。美方媒体报道称，这种做法虽然让局势暂时缓和，但并未从根本上解决问题。6月，双方又在伦敦进行了 新一轮谈判。中国同意恢复磁铁和稀土的出口许可证审批，但对于重稀土如钐、镝等军工专用材料，禁令依旧没有解除。 稀土在中美贸易争端中一直是一个敏感问题。美国在高科技和军工领域对稀土的需求非常大，而中国则控制着全球大部分的稀土供应，尤其在加工和精炼领 域几乎处于垄断地位。随着2025年贸易摩擦的升级，美国媒体开始关注到，中国表面上放松了出口管制，但实际上却在军工领域严格限制稀土的供应，令美 国措手不及。稀土元素共有17种，广泛应用于从手机到导弹等各种产品中，而中国占据全球产量的70%以上。尽管美国一直试图减少对中国的依赖，寻找其 他合作伙伴如澳大利亚、巴西等，但由于技术门槛高，进展缓慢。 2024年底，中国 ...

1. 在西半球，一场备受全球关注的地缘政治对抗正在展开——美国与俄罗斯在委内瑞拉的直接冲突，使得这片南美洲土地成为了大国战略博弈的前沿阵地。 从今年10月开始，俄罗斯多次向华盛顿发出警告，明确表态在石油问题上设定了不可逾越的底线，要求美方停止干涉委内瑞拉的内政。这场对抗不仅涉及区 域安全形势，更关系到全球能源供应链的重组，以及国际法的权威性。 2. 石油与地缘政治的博弈，成了大国角力的核心动力。 3. 委内瑞拉之所以成为美俄对抗的关键焦点，根本原因在于该国拥有全球最大的已探明石油储备，其储量甚至超过沙特阿拉伯和俄罗斯。这一资源禀赋不容 小觑——石油是现代工业的命脉，掌握石油的控制权意味着能够在全球经济中占据重要战略位置，拥有强大的议价能力。 4. 从历史来看，美国的跨国公司在委内瑞拉长期占据主导地位，享有石油开发的权利，并从中赚取了丰厚的利润。然而，随着查韦斯时代的到来，直到马杜 罗执政时期，政府实施了资源主权回归政策，将能源产业收归国有，优先保障本国利益。自此，美国的态度发生了巨大转变。尽管该国治理中存在问题，但 委内瑞拉"不依附"美国的独立姿态，却挑战了美国在西半球长期占据的传统影响力。 7. 制裁与人道 ...
