惊声尖笑

中美博弈再升级！美国突然撤销对中企出口芯片许可，中国反制动作迅速，再减持448亿美元外汇。

据观察者网报道，综合多家外媒消息，近日，拜登政府进一步收紧了对中国企业华为的出口限制，宣布撤销美国芯片企业高通和英特尔公司向华为出售半导体的许可证。美国国会众议院外交事务委员会主席麦考尔表示，这是阻止中国开发先进人工智能的关键之举。         Yin Yunzhen introduces to Sakolsky the harvest from the once-barren wasteland. Photo: Lin Xiaoyi/GT
On Monday afternoon, American teacher Ronald Sakolsky visited the homeland of Chinese desert fighter Yin Yuzhen in Uxin Banner of Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. This was a place the American man had visited in 2000 and it has completely changed since then.
In 1999, Sakolsky, a teacher in a China-US education exchange program, was touched by a report on Yin and her husband's afforestation efforts in the harsh wilderness of Mu Us Desert, and raised $5,000 to support her green cause. During that visit, they took pictures - in front of the sunken pit where the Yin couple once resided and in the barren land with a finger-thin sapling they had just planted against a backdrop of dust and bare earth.
What has the $5,000 changed? 
On Monday, they came to the Sakolsky forest - a permanent tribute honoring Sakolsky's early contribution to the region's ecological revival - and replicated the vintage pictures, standing in front of a pit that has long been abandoned and beside a newly planted sapling. This time, however, there are bushes and trees in the background. 
This contrast not only witnessed their friendship across time and the Pacific Ocean, but also showcased a promise Yin has kept for 27 years and a green dream that has been made possible through generations of joint unwavering efforts from Yin, her husband and countless other sand fighters. 
Homecoming with family cooking 

Yin hosted Sakolsky on Monday at her home,  filling the air with the aroma of home-cooked meals during their long-awaited reunion. Watermelons were served along with other fresh fruits and vegetables, all harvested locally. Yin told the Global Times earlier that she learned the English word "more" to persuade him to eat more.  
In 1999, Yin had few options for showing her hospitality, so she cooked a bowl of plain noodles for Sakolsky. Now, the harsh wasteland has transformed into a vibrant green oasis, thanks to unwavering afforestation efforts.
In the courtyard, the Global Times reporter saw Yin grinning from ear to ear with pride as she introduced the produce from the farmland - green pepper longer than a palm, a bottle gourd even bigger than Yin's head, and bags of foxtail millet packaged with the assistance of Yin's grandchildren, who are proud of the family's generations of commitment to green causes.    
During a tour of Yin's home, Sakolsky was impressed by the beautiful house with its green courtyard, saying "You deserve every centimeter of this house." Throughout the visit, he repeatedly praised Yin's hands, which the desert fighter and model worker used to change both the land and her own life through arduous work. 
The $5,000 Sakolsky donated in 1999 was equivalent to three years' income for Yin's entire family at the time. Today, that money has grown into more than 50,000 trees.
But Yin's journey did not stop there. Over the following decades, with the support of China's growing ecological restoration policies — including subsidies for afforestation and compensation for forest managers — she transformed the barren land into a productive family forest farm. Her success has inspired many others in the region to take up tree planting and sand control, transforming what was once a desperate struggle into a sustainable livelihood.
From the sandy hollow where the Yin couple lived in in 1985 and the earth hut they resided in until 1993, to the solid brick house Sakolsky saw when he last visited, and the two-story house the big family now lives in, the change in living environment is a clear example of ecological dividends.  
Uxin Banner lies in the heartland of the Mu Us Desert. The desertification rate was over 90 percent in the 1950s and forestation coverage was merely 7.2 percent as of 1980. Now, the forestation rate has increased to 33 percent, while plantation coverage has expanded to 85 percent, per official data.

Carry on the greenness, kindness 
This miracle would have been impossible without numerous people like Yin, long-term systematic planning and scientific governance. 
Chen Ziliang, an expert from the local forestry and grassland bureau, said that Mu Us Desert's sand‑control journey has evolved from collective afforestation to contract desert‑reclamation, moving beyond the simple goal of "keeping trees alive" to restoring vegetation based on water‑resource conditions.  
Putting the idea of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" into practice, Uxin Banner no longer views "greenness" and "growth" as an either‑or proposition. On restored sandy lands, the under‑forest economy, eco‑agriculture and eco‑tourism have flourished. Sand‑fixing shrubs are now processed into animal feed and biomass fuel, and local authorities are exploring photovoltaic‑powered desert control, the Global Times learned. 
Sand control is no longer just about keeping sand away; it's a development approach that guarantees a greener and better living environment alongside a booming economy and increasing incomes. 
On Monday afternoon, when Sakolsky finally stepped into the forest named after him, this American teacher witnessed the Chinese woman's perseverance and commitment to her promises. The $5,000 donated without expectations has grown into a thriving forest of around 50,000 trees. 
"A promise is a promise. Ms. Yin fulfilled her promise," Sakolsky said. After 27 years, the wasteland is green, and Sakolsky and Yin are "brother and sister." 
"This is the answer to how we guide young people: We must teach them love and perseverance. We need to show young people photos of Ms. Yin planting trees, digging the soil with her bare hands," Sakolsky remarked while packing a jar of sand. He said he planned to bring it back to the US, telling his grandchildren it is not just a jar of sand, but "a jar of love."   
Sakolsky told the Global Times earlier that the younger generation only knows about the dust-covered landscape from photos and stories of the elderly. It is important to tell them how the greenness is achieved, and how every single person can contribute to making an extensive forest in the harshest environment. 
"I see where China and America can work together. I see it, so I will not quit. She [Yin] never quit. 'Quit' is not in her vocabulary," Sakolsky said with emotion on Monday. 
"Chinese and Americans can be family. We can get over the differences if we focus on the similarities... If we focus on our similarities and not our differences, we can solve the problems."
At the end of Monday's schedule, Yin and Sakolsky planted another sapling together, just as they did about three decades ago, but in a completely different landscape. 
This new sapling carries on the story of not only greenness through generations of joint efforts, but also kindness across the Pacific Ocean.

B | 此举将阻止美国英特尔和高通出售给华为任何芯片，还称这两家公司和中国“走得过近”。

C | 另据美国商务部证实，目前已“撤销了对华为的部分出口许可”。相关消息人士表示，美国针对华为的新举措，将影响华为手机和笔记本电脑芯片供应。

美国切断美企与华合作，实际上是在倒逼中国企业进一步扩大自研力度，加大中国企业的自主性，美国此举看似是阻碍中国发展，其实是“自断后路”。近年来，随着中国企业的高速发展，美国“一家独大”的垄断地位逐渐被打破。对此毫无办法的拜登政府，便开始以损失自身企业的办法，打压中美正常的技术合作以及贸易往来。殊不知，这样的限制措施其实是“伤敌八百自损一千”。

面对咄咄逼人的美国政府，中国也并未选择逆来顺受。

D | 就在美国出台最新限制措施后不久，中国的反制来了。根据金融时报报道，近日，国家外汇管理局发布了最新统计数据，截至2024年4月，中国的外汇储备规模为32008亿美元，较3月减少448亿美元。

E | 此外，在持续坚持减少美国外汇的同时，数据显示，中国已经连续18个月增持黄金。可以发现，美西方越是对中国的高科技领域进行打压和遏制，中国对美元的需求就越缩减。拜登政府不想让中国获得领先，那美国自己也不想有好日子过。

从美国一次又一次加码对中国企业的制裁措施，我们可以发现两点。首先，美国部分极端政客野心巨大，持续鼓动拜登对华施加高压。这次直接撤销美企出口许可，就是其鼓动挑拨的结果。其次，美国对华的制裁并不成功，或者说根本没有达到美国想要的效果。要不然美国也不会像“打补丁”一样，不断更新对华打压措施，增加对中企的限制。

中国是一个不惧挑战和苦难的国家，最不怕外国的打压和限制。美西方那个的“小院高墙”再坚固，也挡不住中国坚持走自主创新的道路。

F | 事实已经并将继续证明，美国卡不了中国的“脖子”。美国如今对华关上合作的大门，实际上是将市场腾出来，拱手让给中国企业。

而就中国这次迅速地反制动作而言，我们或许早就料到了美国会走这步棋，已经提前有了应对策略。从这一点就可以看出，中国不会让美国或者别国肆意侵犯自身利益。我国商务部也已经发出警告：中方将采取一切措施，维护中方合法正当权益。

G | 新的“风暴”已经来临，中美竞争存在升温的趋势，这再一次证明，和美国讲道理是讲不通的，中方的反制必须“一拳到肉”。
