外媒发出感慨,中方发布的最新声明,已经丝毫不再考虑美国利益了
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-10-09 05:34
最近,许多国际媒体从彭博社到CNN,都表现出震惊和不解的情绪。他们通过中国发布的最新声明,认为中国在国际事务中的态度发生了明显变化。过 去,中国在决策时总是小心翼翼地考虑美国的利益和反应,但现在,中国似乎不再依赖于这种惯常的方式。 那么,中国到底发布了什么样的声明呢?在这 份声明中提到,中国不再被动地遵循西方主导的规则,这一改变是否会让美国感受到威胁? 过去,中国作为全球最大买家,通常被视为一个被动的市场角色。然而,现在的中国正逐步转变为主动影响全球资源流向和产业布局的战略工具。其核心策 略是通过掌握采购选择的"开关",来实现明确的地缘经济目标。 这个"买方引力场"的规模究竟有多大呢?从全球海运铁矿石贸易来看,约有四分之三的铁矿石最终会运送到中国。而在农产品领域,中国曾一度消化了美国 大豆出口量的一半。正是这种无可替代的市场地位,赋予了中国调控市场的底气。当中国的采购开关被精准按下时,效果立刻显现。 以澳大利亚为例,这个矿业大国的经济依赖于铁矿石,而铁矿石的最大买家就是中国。中国矿产资源集团宣布暂停采购澳大利亚必和必拓公司部分铁矿石货 物时,几乎对澳大利亚来说是一场经济震动。大量的铁矿石可能面临滞销,澳大利亚 ...

中国开始全面反击:暂停澳铁矿石进口!大豆与铁矿关键被中国抓住
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-10-08 18:12
在矿石航线与汇率曲线交织的海风里,中澳之间的铁矿买卖忽然按下了暂停键。2025年9月底,中国矿产资源集团以一纸通知叫停对必和必拓美元计价的铁 矿石采购,范围锁定新合同和在途船货。这不是"砍断绳索"的禁运,而更像棋局里挪走一个关键子,逼对手重新坐回棋盘边。它指向的焦点只有一个:定价 权。 过去十多年,海运铁矿的价格普遍追随普氏指数加溢价的组合,季度为主的议价节奏在卖方看来稳妥,在买方眼里却意味着跟着美元和周期跳舞。越是周期 上行时,指数越坚硬、溢价越顽固,中国钢厂的成本就越像风口上翻滚的旗帜。中国矿产资源集团在2022年挂牌,本意就是把四分五裂的采购盘子集中起 来,统一议价、统一结算,借规模换条款。到了2025年初秋,谈判先从具体矿种开刀,比如金布巴粉,限购试探,再扩大到所有海运船货。一条线索很清 晰:从季度改月度,从美元换人民币,先把结算与周期的节拍调整,再碰定价的唱词。 买方的"不",与卖方的惯性 定价权的攻防:指数、周期与币种的三角博弈 这套调整背后是风险管理的朴素逻辑。以美元计价的铁矿合同天然嵌入汇率风险,人民币结算能把这一段"外生波动"从钢厂的账本上拿掉;月度周期则让采 购更靠近现货波动,避免季度内" ...
铁矿石人民币结算、大豆零采购,美国利益受冲击,外媒为何如此紧张?
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-10-08 12:02
近中国在国际舞台上的一系列操作,真是让西方媒体有点"看不懂了",彭博社、CNN纷纷感慨,说中国现在做事,根本不再考虑美国的感受,也 不再被动接受西方制定的规则。 再看大豆,美国农民最近日子很不好过,因为中国连续几个月一粒美国大豆都没买,全都转向巴西、阿根廷,美国豆农急得团团转,特朗普也只 能拿出大笔补贴来哄农民,中国这边很明确:想恢复采购,先把不合理关税撤了再说。 这话听着挺刺激,但其实仔细琢磨,中国现在的底气和主动权,确实和过去大不一样。 先说铁矿石这事,以前澳大利亚的铁矿石,几乎是中国钢厂的"标配",而且定价权一直被国外垄断,澳洲那边成本低得吓人,一吨才十美元,卖 给我们却能飙到一百多美元,中国只能硬着头皮买,心里难免有点憋屈。 但这次中国矿产资源集团直接发话,暂停采购澳洲必和必拓的美元计价铁矿石,改用人民币结算,还优先考虑巴西和几内亚的货源,澳大利亚总 理听到消息,第一反应就是"很失望",但也只能干着急。 其实这不是心血来潮,更不是赌气,中国早就布局了多元化供应,和巴西、几内亚签了长期协议,自己也在国内加大产量,现在铁矿石进口渠道 一多,谁还非得看澳洲脸色? 更厉害的是,中国还推出了人民币计价的现货价格 ...
外媒发出感慨,中方的最新声明直接挑明,丝毫不考虑美国利益了
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-10-07 18:16
全球大宗商品贸易格局,正经历一场深刻的结构性重塑。 必和必拓的股价,在10月1日遭遇重挫,单日跌幅高达6%,这绝非寻常的市场噪音。当日,新加坡铁矿石期货市场也随之下探4%。此番震荡的源头,在于 中国方面采取的果断行动:9月30日,中国矿产资源集团向国内钢铁企业发出明确指令,暂停采购所有以美元计价的必和必拓铁矿石,即便是已装船在途的 货物,也一概叫停。 此举的深层逻辑,在于中国正积极推动结算货币的多元化与安全化。一个关键信号是,中方推动并促成了与巴西淡水河谷签署的长期供货协议,新订单规模 直接增添了5000万吨,且人民币结算比例显著提升至28%。这意味着,在全球铁矿石贸易中长期占据主导地位的美元结算体系,正被撕开一道实质性的裂 口。 对于必和必拓而言,处境无疑颇为尴尬。这家巨头在美国拥有多处重要的矿山和加工基地,美元结算根植于其商业惯例,且对华出口额占据其总营收的六成 以上。今年,在面临涨价15%的谈判诉求,以及澳大利亚老矿品位下降、导致成本与供应稳定性双双承压的背景下,中方选择以调整采购渠道和结算方式的 方式予以回应。 美国的反应迅速而紧张。美国财政部随即向巴西政府"表达关切",但收效甚微。其担忧显而易见:铁 ...
8国密谋反华,澳大利亚想对中国稀土开枪,54万吨油菜籽白买了?
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-09-26 12:32
还能不能好好一块玩耍了?近段时间,澳大利亚媒体又开始炒作中国稀土威胁论,这一次不光是喊话,还真动起手来了。 G7、欧盟再加澳大利亚,一共八个国家,悄悄拟定了一份对中国稀土出口的限制草案,准备集体出手,设下价格底线,还想征收所谓的碳税和稀土关税。 那么澳大利亚到底图什么?他们又凭什么认为,设个稀土价格下限就能制衡中国? 今年4月,中国对中重稀土出口实施管制措施,包括钐、钆在内的多个关键矿种被列入出口审批清单。 当时外界还在猜测中国是否剑走偏锋,没想到只是几个月后,事情就一步步发展成一场全球资源的战略拉锯。 福特汽车、欧盟车厂、印度制造商等陆续感受到供应紧张,有的企业开始囤货,有的则被迫减产。 结果到了9月,G7牵头,欧盟响应,澳大利亚自告奋勇跟进,共同提出稀土定价、加税、限购、碳税四大措施,企图限制中国稀土出口影响力。 这套组合拳乍一听挺强硬,但仔细一看,根本站不住脚。 全球92%的稀土加工能力掌握在中国手中,一些稀有品类,欧盟甚至100%依赖中国供应。 澳大利亚虽然有矿,但没有完整的加工产业链,法德两国在内部会议上也表示不愿过早加征关税,怕打击本国企业。 而就在G7密谋之际,中国早已开始反制布局,9月25日, ...

想卡中国脖子,结果特朗普失算,澳大利亚成了大赢家
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-09-02 04:17
Group 1 - The core point of the article is that Australia has emerged as a significant beneficiary of the US-China trade war, contrary to expectations that either the US or China would gain the most [1][8]. - The trade war began in March 2018 when the US imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, leading to a series of retaliatory measures from China, which resulted in a loss of price advantage for Chinese products in the US market [3][5]. - Australia, being a major exporter of iron ore and coal, capitalized on the gap left by the US tariffs on Chinese goods, as its products faced lower tariffs in the US market, thus gaining a competitive edge [5][6]. Group 2 - The diplomatic thaw between Australia and China, particularly after the meeting between leaders in November 2022, has led to a significant increase in bilateral trade, with trade volume surpassing 300 billion AUD and creating substantial economic benefits for Australian households and employment [5][6]. - Australia's strategy of balancing economic reliance on China while maintaining security ties with the US presents a precarious situation, as it risks potential backlash if geopolitical tensions escalate [6][8]. - The sustainability of Australia's gains from the US-China trade war is uncertain, as shifts in global supply chains and the potential for changing demand dynamics could impact its current advantages [6][8].
