值得注意的是，就在特朗普撕毁与印度的第五轮贸易谈判邀请函发出不久后，莫迪宣布他将于8月31日飞往中国天津，参加上合峰会，这将是印度总理七年 来首次访华。此前，王毅在新德里与印度外长苏杰生举行了中印边界问题特别代表第24次会晤，双方达成了十点共识，包括重启仁青岗、普兰、久巴三处边 境贸易市场，设立划界专家小组，以及新增东段、中段将军级热线。 面对来自美国的贸易霸凌，印度总理莫迪正以一系列大胆而精妙的策略予以回击。在苏拉特，钻石商们已感受到寒意，他们每年向美国出口价值20亿美元的 钻石，一旦美国加征50%关税生效，他们的订单很可能将归零。出口巨头法里达集团也已感受到切肤之痛，其高达1.14亿美元的订单被全数冻结，生产线被 迫停工。 莫迪的反击远不止于口头警告。首先，印度取消了价值36亿美元的军购订单，直接导致波音和洛克希德·马丁这两家军工巨头的股价应声下跌4.5%。这笔订 单中，包括了波音的阿帕奇直升机和洛马的P-8I反潜机，它们的落空无疑是对美国军工产业的一次沉重打击。与此同时，印度国防部长辛格也取消了原定的 访美行程，进一步表达了印度的不满。 其次，印度商务部宣布对美国波本威士忌加征高达150%的关税。这一举 ...

各位注意了，这几天国际上接连出了几件大事，都跟中美巴三国脱不开关系。 先说特朗普，当地时间8月11日才不情不愿地在关税暂停令上签字，把对华关税暂停措施再延长90天。这人也是有意思，明明上个月斯德哥尔摩谈判就定好 了结果，偏要拖到原措施8月12日12时到期前才落笔，签之前还不忘在"真实社交"上发文强调"其他条款不变"，那股子不甘心全写在脸上了。 要说这90天延期背后，美方算盘打得叮当响。美中贸易全国委员会主席西恩·斯坦直言这是"至关重要"的缓冲期，想趁这段时间跟中方谈出个市场准入协 议，好让美国企业能踏实做长远规划。但明眼人都看得出来，这不过是缓兵之计。美国克里斯多夫纽波特大学的孙太一教授说得透彻，经过四个多月来回拉 扯，双方早把对方底牌摸得差不多了，谁都清楚"和则两利、斗则两伤"的道理。 这边特朗普刚落笔，咱们国务院关税税则委员会就紧跟着发了公告，同样宣布未来90天暂停24%对美加征关税，只保留10%。中美双方在斯德哥尔摩达成的 联合声明说得明白，不光是关税，中方连非关税反制措施都暂停了。但别以为这是单方面让步，孙太一早就点破，特朗普受国内政治压力掣肘，根本没法大 规模降关税，顶多可能在芬太尼议题上松口20% ...
