澳大利亚和中国的铁矿石恩怨，最近是闹得沸沸扬扬，一边是每年从中国赚得盆满钵满，赚的钱比美国、欧洲加起来还多。 一边是跟着美国处处针对中国，制裁、抹黑样样来，尤其是在铁矿石贸易上，仗着垄断地位漫天要价，为啥澳大利亚总喜欢针对咱们？ 不过最近这事儿有了大反转，中国直接暂停了澳大利亚最大铁矿石企业必和必拓所有以美元计价的交易，这一下可把澳大利亚给整懵了。 要知道，铁矿石是澳大利亚的第一大出口商品，中国常年要吸纳它近70%的铁矿石，以前都是澳大利亚摆架子，动不动就威胁断供，现在轮到中国 主动说"停"，它能不慌吗？ 后来中国终于想明白了，要打破垄断，首先得团结起来，2022年，中国矿产资源集团成立了，所有铁矿石采购都由它统一负责。 这一下就不一样了，再也没有内部竞价的内耗，还能把零散的小订单整合成长大单，跟国外矿企谈判的时候，腰杆都硬了不少，议价能力直接翻 倍。 光靠内部整合还不够，还得从外部突破，中国开始在全球范围内收购矿业巨头的股份，这招叫"以资本换话语权"。 比如说，中国花1000块钱买铁矿石，矿企能赚800块，要是我们持有这家矿企50%的股份，那相当于实际只花了600块，这就是"权益矿"的好处。 更关键的是，中 ...

Core Viewpoint - China's decision to suspend the purchase of BHP iron ore priced in USD marks a significant shift in the iron ore market, challenging the pricing power of Australian mining giants and indicating a new era of negotiations based on RMB settlements [2][24].
