美国对华最高征1000%关税，外交部措辞升级，耶伦为中国说了公道话。特朗普政府又对中国发出了怎样的威胁？中方的回应出现了怎样的升级？耶伦又给 中国说了什么公道话？ 当然，这样的数字也只是看起来唬人，因为在关税超过商品利润，再怎么往上叠加都没有意义，在美国145%的关税政策下，实际上中美贸易就已经脱钩。 因此美国的又一次炒作关税数字，实际上对中国构不成任何威胁，只是进一步释放出美国的敌意而已。 在这样的背景下，中方的措辞也出现了升级。 4月16日，外交部发言人林剑被问及美国对华加税的数字问题时，提醒记者，具体的税率的数字应该问问美方。 当地时间4月15日，美国发布声明，对中国发出进一步威胁，白宫声称，由于中国采取报复行动，中方出口到美国的货品将面临高达245％关税。 在这之前，中方已经对美国输华商品对等反制征收了125％的关税，并明确表示美国商品已经没有进入中国市场的可能，因此接下来美国再加关税，中方将 不予理会。 结果果然不出中方所料，美国又开始在关税数字上做文章，恰好反映出特朗普政府已经黔驴技穷。 根据美国媒体报道，白宫所谓的245％关税，实际上并不是最新措施，而是此前关税的叠加，因为早在去年8月份，拜登政 ...
