南非经济学家 贾米恩：我相信美国将对南非加征30%关税主要是出于政治考量。南非有一些事情没有让美国满意——南非把以色列告上国际法院，指控其 实施种族灭绝；南非政府推行黑人经济赋权政策，美国一些政客却把这称作"对白人实行种族灭绝"的行为。 美国总统特朗普7月31日签署行政令，确定了对数十个国家和地区征收的所谓"对等关税"新税率，其中对南非的关税税率为30%。南非经济学家贾米恩在接 受总台记者采访时指出，美国所谓的"对等关税"政策背后隐藏着明显的政治操控意图——凡是外交立场不"顺从"的国家，都可能成为美国贸易霸权的打击对 象。 南非贸易、工业和竞争部7月31日发布声明称，为应对美政府关税政策，南非已启动紧急措施，为受关税影响的出口企业提供咨询服务平台，为相关企业提 供市场指导，促进企业开拓多元化市场。声明指出，美国此举对南非的出口能力构成直接威胁，特别是在汽车、农业和钢铁等重要领域。南非政府致力于支 持本国就业，为出口企业提供政策支持，确保出口行业保持弹性、竞争力。 ...

立即点击 ▲ 观看视频 最近有两件事情要结合起来看才有味道。 一件事情是贸易战，另外一件事情是新一轮"去产能"大运动。 首先，关于贸易战，虽然我们很关心最后的关税数据，但是我们尤其要关注的是美国和越南前 些天修的那套"样板房"——对于被认定为是转口贸易的商品额外加征40%的关税。 为什么说是"样板房"呢？因为大概率，各国接下来的对美贸易条款中都有会类似的条款。为什 么？一是美国强压，二是从各国私心来说，借此机会建立自己的供应链体系何乐而不为呢？如 果外国也有"国运一说"，也许很多国家就把这次机会当成"国运"呢。 所以第一件事，大家记住一个结论， 就是转口贸易一定会被慢慢封堵死。 第二件事，中央财经委员会第六次会议要求，依法治理企业低价无序竞争，推动落后产能有序 退出。 中央财经委员会是负责经济领域重大工作的顶层设计，也就是说，这个会议的每个字、每句话 都可能影响国内经济重大走向。 转口贸易指的是什么？是指那些绝大部分供应链在国内完成，到国外简单组装一下或加个包装 再卖到第三国，或者只是港口转一下的产品，俗称外贸界的"阳澄湖大闸蟹"。 我们出口的很多产品，是不是又是典型的产能过剩产品呢？ 钢铁是吗？是，很多国家 ...
