今年4月，特朗普宣布所谓"解放日"关税，将印尼商品的关税税率定为32%。今年7月，印尼与美方达成 协议，美方同意将印尼商品的进口关税降至19%，而印尼方面则承诺取消非关税壁垒等。随后双方一直 在就具体协议细节进行谈判，但本月初有媒体爆料称，美印尼贸易协议可能面临破裂，格里尔曾抱怨印 尼对此前所作的一些承诺"出尔反尔"。 上周，印尼政府宣布派艾尔朗加赴美展开谈判。从其周一晚间的最新表态来看，美印尼贸易协议似乎出 现了峰回路转的迹象。 值得注意的是，艾尔朗加明确表示，同美国达成的贸易协议不会限制印尼与其他国家达成贸易协议。这 一表述已被众多媒体解读为即将达成的美印尼贸易协议将不包含引发巨大争议的"毒丸条款"。 【环球时报特约记者 甄翔】印尼经济统筹部长艾尔朗加22日晚在与美国贸易代表格里尔举行会谈后表 示，印尼和美国已就双边贸易协议的所有实质性问题达成共识，两国总统将于明年1月底正式签署该协 议。 此前，美国与马来西亚和柬埔寨达成的贸易协议均规定，如马方或柬方与第三方达成威胁美国利益的新 协议且无法解决美方的诉求，那么美方与马方或柬方的贸易协议将被终止，且将对马方或柬方商品加征 更高的关税。上月外媒披露，印尼方面 ...

【文/观察者网 熊超然】随着美国圣诞季的临近，圣诞礼物的抢购热潮正给远在数千公里之外的东南亚制造商带 来巨大压力。美国关税引发的供应链冲击，影响了从手套、耳机到玩具等各种商品的出口。 香港《南华早报》12月15日报道指出，美国关税波及的是整个东南亚地区的低成本出口国，这使得马来西亚、越 南、老挝、印度尼西亚等国更深地卷入了中美之间日益加剧的结构性竞争之中。由此产生的供应链紧缩，不仅推 动了美国节庆零售价格的上涨，也预示着东南亚在全球经济中的地位正发生更深刻的重组。 专家警告称，美国的关税和贸易施压使制造商陷入两难境地：一方面，他们需要依赖与中国相关的供应链；另一 方面，他们又需要确保向美国出口的商品不被视为"中国商品的转口"。 "各国面临着持续的压力，要在技术标准上选边站队，排除不信任的供应商，或加入友岸供应链合作团体。"马来 西亚思特雅大学金融学副教授廖志勇（Liew Chee Yoong）表示。 报道称，美国的新关税制度正式确立了分析人士所谓的"中国+1惩罚机制"——依赖中国零部件的出口商现在除了 基本关税外，还需缴纳40%的转运附加费。然而，完全脱钩几乎是不可能的，中国仍然为马来西亚和越南的出口 行业提 ...
