你以为美国只会在高科技和金融领域呼风唤雨？ 欧洲也好不到哪去，环保标准高、投资动辄上亿，想搞冶炼产业链却步履维艰。 其实这两年他们在铜矿上也玩出了新花样。 2022年，美国本土铜产量只有120万吨，远远不够军工和制造业的胃口，结果只能在国际市场上四处"抢货"。 美国政府甚至考虑重启一些早已关闭的矿区，但环保压力和社区抗议让矿企头疼不已。 说白了，别看美国工业体系强大，原材料这一块其实挺脆弱，铜的短缺可能随时威胁到制造和军工的底盘。 转过头来看中国，这场金属资源的博弈也没打算缺席。 根据国际白银协会的权威数据，中国虽然银矿储量算不上全球最多，但银的精炼和深加工能力却稳坐全球头把交椅。 全球60%+的白银精炼产能都握在中国手里，哪怕是国外挖出来的矿石，最终还得送到中国工厂变成高纯度银。 更有预测称，2026年中国可能会对金属银出口实施管控，这一招正好戳中欧美高科技产业的软肋。 白银不仅用于光伏、电子、新能源，军工领域也离不开它。 2023年光伏银浆需求暴增，中国几乎包揽了全球80%的光伏组件产能——上下游一把抓，主动权尽在掌控。 欧美想自己掌控冶炼产业链，有点"心比天高，命比纸薄"的味道。 冶炼厂高污染、高能耗， ...
