中国精准反击美国，三管齐下直击其战略要害！以美国的方式回击美国，特朗普愤怒发文，局势变得愈加复杂。中美博弈正在发生深刻的 战略逆转！ 在全球聚焦中美关税"休战期"临近结束时，中国商务部发布了数份公告，精准击中了美国的薄弱环节。公告显示，中国将对稀土产品的出 口进行管制，涵盖稀土开采、冶炼、分离以及磁性材料制造的全链条技术，明确表示对用于军事目的和14纳米以下芯片研发的出口申 请"原则上不予许可"或采取"个案审查"。这一新规将于11月8日生效，恰巧在中美关税"休战期"结束的前一天。 英国《金融时报》指出，这一措施与美国常用的对第三国实施设备出口管制的做法非常相似。换句话说，中国正在利用美国惯用的"工具 箱"进行反击，美国这回也尝到了"被卡脖子"的滋味。美国的心理冲击可想而知，当中国首次以"国家安全"为理由对全球稀土供应链施加影 响时，美国的反应也很特别。 特朗普在社交媒体上发表长文，一方面宣称"美国的垄断地位比中国更强大"，另一方面又称中国的这一举措"充满敌意，前所未见"。情绪 从愤怒到困惑，再到威胁，甚至荒谬地将稀土管制与加沙停火协议挂钩，质疑"时机是否巧合"。特朗普的失控反应，实际上暴露了美国战 略精英难以 ...

所长 早读 国泰君安期货 2025-10-13 期 请务必阅读正文之后的免责条款部分 2025-10-13 所长 早读 今 日 发 现 万斯称"特朗普愿意与中国进行理性谈判" 观点分享： 10 月 12 日晚间，美国副总统万斯在接受采访时表示，特朗普愿意与中国进行理性谈 判。"万斯说，总统"珍视他与中方建立的友谊"，但他说："我们拥有很多筹码。我的希 望——我也知道总统的希望——是我们不必动用这些筹码。""接下来的几周，我们会看到 很多迹象。"与之相对应的是，12 日，中国商务部表示，动辄以高额关税进行威胁，不是与 中方相处的正确之道。对于关税战，中方的立场是一贯的，我们不愿打，但也不怕打。我们 认为，从上述情况及今晨美股期指、加密货币的走势等判断，市场预期"TACO"交易再次 上演的可能性较大。而从交易来说，一方面我们固然要依据各种蛛丝马迹通过逻辑分析做出 策略判断，另一方面，由于此类政治事件的高度不确定性，我们也有必要对小概率事件作出 心理预设和防控性策略。 | | | | 板块 | 关注指数 | | --- | --- | | 期指 | ★★★★ | 期指：风险暂歇，也无风雨也无晴。周一，美方再释缓和信 ...
