峰会上，自愿联盟这一名字得到了充分体现。尽管有约30个国家参加了会议，但只有英国和法国签署了 关于部署部队的具体意向声明。德国总理梅尔茨在会上表达了较为保守的立场，表示德国部队可能会部 署在乌克兰邻国的北约领土上，而不会直接进入乌克兰。这种差异暴露了欧洲国家在是否深入介入乌克 兰问题上的分歧。泽连斯基的担忧并非没有道理：如果只有两个国家愿意派兵，乌克兰怎么可能得到有 效的保护？ 美国的态度 在这场峰会中，美国的态度最为引人关注。虽然美国派出了特朗普总统的特使 史蒂夫·维特科夫和贾里德·库什纳与会，但美国并未签署任何关于向乌克兰派遣部队的协议。维特科夫 在会后仅表示，特朗普支持已经达成的安全协议，但并未明确美国是否会参与多国部队的行动。美国的 这种保留态度给整个安全保障框架增添了不确定性。在乌克兰问题上，华盛顿的立场依然是最具影响力 的因素。 第一道防线 峰会的一个突破性进展是，乌克兰武装部队首次被官方文件确认是欧洲的第一道防线。这一表述不仅是 对乌克兰军队在四年多抗击俄罗斯侵略中的英勇表现的认可，也暗示了欧洲安全架构可能发生的重新定 义。乌克兰将不再仅仅是需要保护的国家，而是欧洲集体防御的前沿阵地。这样的转变 ...

特朗普政府对中国半导体加征关税，税率竟然是0%！ 这听起来像是个笑话，但却是2025年12月23日美国贸易代表办公室白纸黑字发布的正式决定。他们还 给了中国18个月的"缓冲期"，要把真正的关税拖延到2027年6月才执行。 一场声势浩大的贸易战，愣是演成了姿态大于实质的政治表演。 就在美方宣布这一决定后不到24小时，中国外交部发言人林剑在12月24日的记者会上直接怼了回去："如果美方一意孤行，中方必将坚决采取相应措施，维 护自身正当权益。 "商务部的回应也紧随其后，批评美方单边关税违反世贸规则，损人不利己。 这种快如闪电的反击，让全球看到了中方的底气。 美方这番操作背后，其实是一笔政治经济账。 2026年美国就要迎来中期选举，此时若真对中国芯片加税，美国本土的汽车、家电、通信设备等行业成本会 立刻飙升，直接推高通胀。 当前美国通胀压力本就高企，特朗普政府根本不敢冒这个险。 更何况，美国制造业对中国成熟制程芯片的依赖程度超乎想象， 28纳米及以上芯片是许多美国关键基础设施的"刚需"，而中国在全球新增产能中占比接近一半。 美国贸易代表办公室的公告写得冠冕堂皇，声称中国芯片产业"不合理"地给美国商业带来负担，但翻遍文 ...

Core Viewpoint - China has quietly adjusted its rare earth strategy by delaying the issuance of the first batch of mining and smelting quotas for 2025, moving from the first quarter to June, and has requested companies to keep their specific quota numbers confidential [1][3]. Group 1: Internal Strategy - China has been strengthening its control over domestic rare earth mining and smelting through mergers and quota systems, making the total quota issued twice a year a key indicator for global rare earth supply [3][4]. - The delay in quota issuance is likely due to the need for time to gather opinions on new regulatory measures, indicating a shift in policy that may include overseas imported rare earths in the quota system [4][5]. - The number of state-owned enterprises eligible for rare earth quotas has decreased from six to two major players, suggesting a consolidation strategy to enhance control [7]. Group 2: External Strategy - The adjustment in quota issuance is strategically aimed at maintaining flexibility in policy and increasing leverage in future trade negotiations, particularly in the context of US-China trade tensions [5][9]. - China has utilized rare earths as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations, with past actions such as export controls on certain rare earth elements impacting US automotive companies [5][10]. - The current approach of keeping quota information confidential is intended to obscure actual supply capabilities, thereby enhancing China's bargaining power in international markets [9][12]. Group 3: National Security and Resource Management - The Chinese government has prioritized the security of critical mineral resources, with rare earths being essential for military and high-tech industries, leading to increased scrutiny and monitoring of domestic production [12][13]. - The shift from transparent quota management to a more secretive approach reflects a strategic emphasis on national security and resource control, adapting to complex international dynamics [13].
