突發：川普考慮大幅對中國增加關稅陳志維

就在剛剛川普發文：

中國正在發生一些非常奇怪的事情！他們變得非常敵對，並向世界各國發出信函，稱他們希望對與稀土有關的每一種生產要素以及他們能想到的幾乎所有其他產品實施出口管制，即使這些產品不是在中國生產的。沒有人見過這樣的事情，但本質上，它會「堵塞」市場，讓世界上幾乎所有國家，尤其是中國，的日子都不好過。其他國家已經聯繫了我們，他們對這種突如其來的貿易敵意行為極為憤怒。過去六個月我們與中國的關係一直很好，因此，這次貿易上的舉動就更加令人驚訝了。我一直覺得他們一直在等待時機，現在，一如既往，事實證明我是對的！絕不應該允許中國「俘虜」世界，但這似乎是他們計劃已久的計劃，始於「磁石」以及其他他們悄悄積累的元素，形成了一種某種壟斷地位，至少可以說，這是一種相當陰險和敵對的舉動。但美國也擁有壟斷地位，比中國的更強大、更深遠。我只是沒有選擇利用它們，從來沒有理由這樣做——直到現在！他們寄來的信長達數頁，非常詳細地列出了他們想對其他國家隱瞞的每一個元素。例行公事現在完全不再是例行公事了。我沒有和習近平主席交談，因為沒有理由這樣做。這真的讓我很驚訝，不僅對我，也對所有自由世界的領導人來說都是如此。我原本兩週後將在韓國亞太經合組織會議上與習近平主席會面，但現在似乎沒有理由這麼做了。中國的信件尤其不合時宜，因為今天正是中東在經歷了三千年的混亂和戰爭後迎來和平的日子。我不禁懷疑，這個時機是否巧合？取決於中國如何回應他們剛剛發布的敵對“命令”，作為美國總統，我將被迫在經濟上反制他們的舉動。他們壟斷的每一種元素，我們都有兩樣。我從未想過事情會發展到這種地步，但或許，就像所有事情一樣，時機已經到了。最終，儘管這可能會帶來痛苦，但對美國來說，這將是一件好事。我們目前正在考慮的政策之一，就是大幅提高對中國輸美產品的關稅。此外，還有許多其他反制措施正在認真考慮中。感謝您對此事的關注！

原文：
Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if it’s not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen anything like this but, essentially, it would “clog” the Markets, and make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World, especially for China. We have been contacted by other Countries who are extremely angry at this great Trade hostility, which came out of nowhere. Our relationship with China over the past six months has been a very good one, thereby making this move on Trade an even more surprising one. I have always felt that they’ve been lying in wait, and now, as usual, I have been proven right! There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World “captive,” but that seems to have been their plan for quite some time, starting with the “Magnets” and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least. But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than China’s. I have just not chosen to use them, there was never a reason for me to do so — UNTIL NOW! The letter they sent is many pages long, and details, with great specificity, each and every Element that they want to withhold from other Nations. Things that were routine are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. This was a real surprise, not only to me, but to all the Leaders of the Free World. I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so. The Chinese letters were especially inappropriate in that this was the Day that, after three thousand years of bedlam and fighting, there is PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I wonder if that timing was coincidental? Dependent on what China says about the hostile “order” that they have just put out, I will be forced, as President of the United States of America, to financially counter their move. For every Element that they have been able to monopolize, we have two. I never thought it would come to this but perhaps, as with all things, the time has come. Ultimately, though potentially painful, it will be a very good thing, in the end, for the U.S.A. One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America. There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
