line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">中美贸易战的议题,已从2018年美国中期选举,延伸至2019年特朗普开始准备竞选连任的语境之中。</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5月10日,美国将2000亿美元中国商品的关税税率上调到25%,此后几天,贸易战成为攻击政敌的武器,被特朗普反复提及。</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">特朗普在5月11日的推文中称,&#8220;我认为中国觉得他们在最近的谈判中被打得太惨,所以他们还不如等到2020年下次大选,看看自己是否运气好,等到一个民主党人获胜,这样就可以继续每年坑美国5000亿美元。&#8221;</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">特朗普还直接点名民主党对手拜登(Joe Biden),称中国做梦都想让拜登或者其他人在2020年当选。共和党主席罗娜&#183;麦克丹尼尔(Ronna McDaniel)也表示,&#8220;当拜登还是副总统时,让中国堂而皇之地作弊,现在他还在天真地忽视中国。&#8221;</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">去年11月的美国中期选举前,特朗普团队也有类似指责。当时,美国白宫国家经济委员会主任库德洛在去年8月时称,&#8220;习近平似乎认为等过了11月的中期选举,特朗普会变弱,进而减轻(贸易打击)。这是个很糟糕的赌博。&#8221;并透露6月开始中美双方就一直没有展开对话。</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">11月中期选举之后,特朗普和习近平于12月在阿根廷会面,才决定重启谈判。</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">选举临近,中国议题再次被特朗普用作武器,但分析人士称,贸易战既可以成为特朗普赢得大选的决胜筹码,也可能演化成他的弱点,关键取决于贸易协议达成的时机和力度。</p><figure style="border: 0px;

padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">不同于此前贸易谈判时坐地起价,以及与金正恩会谈时突然离席,特朗普一度给人感觉希望与中国尽快达成协议&#8212;&#8212;4月特朗普就暗示会尽快与习近平在海湖庄园会晤,签订最终协议;5月,即便在10日突然上调税率后,他在13日依然表示将在6月底日本G20峰会期间与习近平会晤。</p><p style="border: 0px;

font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">特朗普急于把贸易战的成果转化为自己的政绩。凯源资本董事总经理陆修泉(Brock Silvers)称,特朗普当选时的承诺之一就是重新考量现有的贸易关系,并对中国采取更强硬立场,能否顺利兑现承诺对他争取连任非常重要。</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">实际上,这次打乱谈判进程的是中国。路透社援引消息人士表示,中国在贸易协议草案七个章节的每一章中,删除了将修法以解决美国主要关切问题的承诺,这些内容涉及窃取美国知识产权和商业机密、强制技术转让等。这一行为破坏美国的核心诉求,也导致谈判陷入停滞。</p><figure style="border: 0px;

font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">在谈判过程中,特朗普支持其贸易代表莱特希泽,坚持要求中国继续进行敏感的结构改革。</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">特朗普的政敌不但没有反对,还力促特朗普&#8220;更强硬&#8221;。美国参议院民主党领袖舒默(Chuck Schumer)就敦促特朗普对北京&#8220;坚持强硬立场&#8221;,&#8220;不要退让。强硬是赢过中国的唯一途径。&#8221;</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">曾任特朗普高级贸易和经济政策顾问克莱特&#183;威利斯(Clete Willems)表示,民主党和共和党在贸易问题上&#8220;相当一致&#8221;,&#8220;我的预期是,你不会看到人们在竞选过程中要求&#8216;向中国退让&#8217;!&#8221;</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">在这样的政治氛围下,特朗普一边攻击前任民主党政府对华软弱,一边在关税和谈判中保持强硬,就是希望把自己塑造为对中国强硬的代表,以此作为竞选的重要筹码。</p><h2>风险:经济衰退与选民基础</h2><p style="border: 0px;

font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: inherit; line-height: 1.75; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">多数分析师估计,目前为止美国受到的直接损失约为GDP增速中的0.1到0.2个百分点,中国的损失较高,为GDP增速中的0.3到0.6个百分点。随着被加征关税的项目增加及税率上调,两国各自受到的损失可能增加。</p><p style="border: 0px;
