The U.S.-EU trade agreement signals that the restructuring of globalization is now taking form 美歐達成新貿易恊議,標誌着“全球化重組”成型 錢宏(Archer Hong Qian) 自4月2日“解放日”萬國對等關稅起,近四個月的“以調關稅,促雙邊談判”艱難時光,終於以美歐達成新貿易恊議為標誌,川普式謀求貿易公平的“全球化重組”開始成型! 
當地時間2025年7月27日,蘇格蘭特恩伯里,美國總統唐納德·川普與歐盟委員會主席烏爾蘇拉·馮德萊恩在川普特恩伯里高爾夫球場達成貿易協議後握手 世界兩個最大的經濟體——美國與歐盟,繼美英、美日、美越達成雙邊貿易恊議之後,終於達成雙邊貿易恊議!讓我想起四年前,我在《Trump總統的三大政治遺產(理念和領導力)——寫於川普第一任總統離任日》(http://symbiosism.com.cn/5659.html)中寫下的話: 2020年1月之前,由於信息不對稱,我和其他人一樣,看到聽到的,都是醜化川普的資訊和漫畫! 2020年1月19日偶然到了北美,什麼信息都不缺,判斷在自己,偉大或是渺小不與個人利益立場關聯性為據,而是看當地人的感受,我只看以下三點:“美國國內事務”、“國際社會和世界事務”、“全球化重組”,川普先生做了什麼。特別是第三點: 第三,全球化重組:有鑑於WTO自由貿易互惠原則(任何成員在給予其他成員優惠待遇的同時,也享有其他成員給予的同等優惠待遇,卻沒有“雙邊對等關稅原則”造成“經濟全球化”規則漏洞)陷入羅德里克三元悖論(全球自由貿易、國家主權和民主人權三者不可兼得)在過去二十多年間存在事實上的不公平,川普總統以《談判藝術》錨定雙邊或多邊談判,在保持買賣公平的前提下,實現基於產業鏈、供應鏈、價值鏈三鏈趨勢的零關稅、零壁壘、零歧視三零規則的全球化重組,以改變現行“經濟全球化”在政府重商主義或國家資本主義面前束手無策的局面,美墨加自由貿易恊議的簽署,只是剛剛開始(其不足是對第三國轉口貿易缺乏關稅要求,可能是個漏洞),如此這般一個國家一個國家、一個區域一個區域地談下去,最後的結果,將是一個全新的全球化路線——全球共生主義…… 這個“全球共生主義”,就是我現在說的基於個人、社區、政府生命自組織連接平衡與再平衡的交互主體共生之“全球化III”! 在文章的後面,我十分感慨地寫道: 川普的偉大,在於他富有傻子般的發心、聖人般的智慧和騎士般的勇氣,知難而進,而且成就卓著,示範性地開啟了重建世界秩序之路! 如今,川普回歸才半年,看到美歐達成新貿易恊議的新聞,其中關於歐盟身美國購買7500美元產品(大部分是石化能源),我高興地看到近三個月前,我在《和平,是打出來的,還是談出來的?——從解決俄烏戰爭方式,到全球共生新秩序塑造》(http://symbiosism.com.cn/9679.html)中就主張或預言之一得以驗證: 僅僅是讓俄烏戰爭的停戰只能解決短期問題,而幫助歐洲走出“制裁與輸血並存的困局”是關鍵,基於此,加拿大交互主體共生基金會提出的《歐美石化協議》方案,可能是全球穩定的長期解決方案基礎。 《烏美礦產協議》 是短期策略,目的是確保美國援烏的合理性。 《歐美石化協議》 是長期戰略,旨在穩定全球能源、經濟與金融體系,減少俄羅斯對歐洲的能源威脅,同時提升歐洲的戰略自主權(參閱《From the U.S.-Ukraine Mineral Agreement to the U.S.-Europe Petrochemical Agreement: A Strategic Transition》http://symbiosism.com.cn/9644.html)。 協議的六大核心目標: (1)解除歐洲能源依賴,削弱俄羅斯經濟影響力。 (2)推動美歐能源市場開放,改善歐美經濟關係。 (3)促進美國就業,減少貿易赤字。 (4)終結“關稅戰”,恢復盟友合作關係。 (5)穩定美元全球儲備貨幣地位,消彌“去美元化”風險。 (6)為全球安全和戰略投資提供資金保障。 現在,我再次強調,沒有人再注意川普的“解放日”之前,世界各國早征了美國多少關稅?中國是67%,台灣是64%,越南是90%,印度是50%,英國是10%,歐盟是39%、日本是46%……川普的對等關稅,不過是相當於被征關稅百分比減半關稅,這也說明川普抱怨“不公平貿易”的同時,真要改變規則(特別是WTO的漏洞)時,還是比較厚道,無論對於兄弟、盟友、朋友、他者,都採取了“一視為仨,間道競合”的關稅策略:討回部分公平,重組全球化規則。 
此關稅一覽表,清楚看出:川普除了對88個對美關稅10%的國家徵收10%“對等關稅”,其他97個早已對美徵收高關稅的國家均實施的是“適宜的對等減半關稅”政策。 2025年4月2日,川普向185個國家開徵可望改變全球化2.0規則的“對等關稅”,他將此日定為美國“解放日”。 川普加關稅的動機,是要解決四大矛盾(不公平):貿易失衡(逆差)、產業失衡(空心)、財政失衡(增收)、重塑規則(談判),是認真的! 二戰結束的1945年,是全球化2.0的開始,以美國為首的國家,強調低關稅和自由市場模式,經過80年的演變,到了21世紀特別是China加入WTO之後,此模式暴露出領頭者吃虧而獲益者並未惠及普通國民且消費疲弱的問題:美國工業空心化、貿易赤字失控、世貿規則被選擇性執行,導致的不公平、全球供應鏈脆弱性,以及中國鄉村文明衰敗、低人權低消費等“互害機制”問題,昭示全球化升級換代致3.0,勢在必行! 超越左右、東西、自由與保守路徑依賴,凡以Subject自居視他者和世界為Object來支配操縱的自我軸心者,必須改弦更張為Intersubjective Symbiosism。 三個多月前,我說過:萬國關稅為何來?全球化III勢在必行! 現在是2025年7月28日,坐標溫哥華 現在是2025年7月28日,坐標溫哥華 The U.S.-EU trade agreement signals that the restructuring of globalization is now taking form The U.S.-EU Trade Agreement Signals that the Restructuring of Globalization Is Now Taking Form By Archer Hong Qian Since April 2—“Liberation Day”—when reciprocal tariffs were imposed on all nations, nearly four months of difficult “tariff-driven bilateral negotiations” have finally culminated in the landmark U.S.-EU trade agreement. President Trump’s pursuit of fair trade through a strategy of “globalization restructuring” has now begun to take shape! On July 27, 2025 (local time) in Turnberry, Scotland, U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen shook hands at the Trump Turnberry golf course after concluding the trade agreement. The world’s two largest economic powers—the United States and the European Union—have now reached a bilateral trade agreement, following similar deals with the United Kingdom, Japan, and Vietnam. This reminds me of what I wrote four years ago in my article “President Trump’s Three Political Legacies (Ideals and Leadership)” (written on the day he left office at the end of his first term): http://symbiosism.com.cn/5659.html Before January 2020, due to information asymmetry, I, like many others, only saw and heard caricatures and vilifications of Trump. But on January 19, 2020, I happened to arrive in North America, where no information was lacking, and I could make my own judgments. Greatness or insignificance was no longer judged by personal interests or positions, but by the feelings of the people on the ground. I looked only at three things: “U.S. domestic affairs,” “international society and global affairs,” and “globalization restructuring.” What did President Trump actually do? Especially the third:
3. Globalization Restructuring: Given that the WTO's principle of reciprocal free trade (where any member granting favorable treatment to another must extend the same to all members) lacked a “reciprocal bilateral tariff principle”, resulting in a loophole in globalization rules, and given that Dani Rodrik’s Trilemma (that globalization, national sovereignty, and democracy cannot all coexist) revealed unfair practices over the past 20+ years, President Trump, guided by The Art of the Deal, anchored his approach in bilateral and multilateral negotiations. His goal was to achieve globalization restructuring based on the trends of supply chains, industrial chains, and value chains—toward the “three-zero rule”: zero tariffs, zero barriers, zero discrimination. The signing of the USMCA was just the beginning (though its flaw was lacking tariff measures against third-country transshipments). One country at a time, one region at a time, Trump negotiated his way toward a completely new path for globalization—Global Symbiosism. This “Global Symbiosism” is what I now call Globalization III—rooted in the intersubjective symbiosis of personal, community, and governmental self-organizing balance and rebalance. At the end of that article, I wrote with deep emotion: Trump’s greatness lies in his foolishly sincere intention, sagely wisdom, and knightly courage. He pushed forward despite challenges and made remarkable achievements, setting a demonstrative path for rebuilding the world order!
Now, only six months after Trump’s return, we see news of the new U.S.-EU trade agreement. One key provision involves the EU purchasing $7,500 worth of goods per household from the U.S. (mostly petrochemicals). I’m pleased to see that one of my predictions from nearly three months ago in the article “Is Peace Achieved by Fighting or Negotiation?—From Ending the Russia-Ukraine War to Shaping a New Global Symbiosis Order” has come true: http://symbiosism.com.cn/9679.html A Russia-Ukraine ceasefire alone can only resolve short-term issues. The key lies in helping Europe escape its dilemma of “sanctions and subsidies coexisting.” Based on this, the Intersubjective Symbiosism Foundation of Canada proposed the U.S.-Europe Petrochemical Agreement—which could serve as the long-term foundation for global stability.
While the U.S.-Ukraine Mineral Agreement is a short-term strategy to justify U.S. aid to Ukraine, the U.S.-Europe Petrochemical Agreement is a long-term strategy to stabilize the global energy, economic, and financial systems—reducing Russia’s energy leverage over Europe and strengthening the EU’s strategic autonomy. (See: “From the U.S.-Ukraine Mineral Agreement to the U.S.-Europe Petrochemical Agreement: A Strategic Transition” http://symbiosism.com.cn/9644.html) The Six Core Goals of the Agreement Are: Eliminate Europe’s energy dependence and weaken Russia’s economic influence. Promote open energy markets and improve U.S.-EU economic relations. Boost U.S. employment and reduce the trade deficit. End the “tariff war” and restore allied cooperation. Stabilize the U.S. dollar’s global reserve currency status and reduce de-dollarization risks. Provide funding guarantees for global security and strategic investments.
Now, once again, I must stress: before “Liberation Day,” no one paid attention to how much tariff the U.S. had already been charged by other nations—China (67%), Taiwan (64%), Vietnam (90%), India (50%), the UK (10%), the EU (39%), Japan (46%)... Trump’s reciprocal tariffs merely amounted to cutting those percentages in half. This shows that even while complaining about unfair trade, Trump was relatively fair-minded when it came to actually changing the rules (especially closing WTO loopholes). Whether dealing with brothers, allies, friends, or others, his tariff strategy followed a principle of “equal treatment among the three types”—brothers, friends, and rivals—via competitive cooperation through alternate paths: reclaiming partial fairness and restructuring globalization rules. This tariff overview clearly shows: Trump imposed a uniform 10% “reciprocal tariff” on 88 countries that had previously charged the U.S. 10%, while 97 other nations that had long imposed high tariffs on the U.S. were subject to “appropriate reciprocal half-tariff” policies. On April 2, 2025, Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on 185 countries, aiming to change Globalization 2.0 rules. He named this day “America’s Liberation Day.” Trump’s tariff increases were meant to resolve four core imbalances (injustices): Trade imbalance (deficit) Industrial imbalance (hollowing out) Fiscal imbalance (revenue needs) Rule reshaping (negotiation leverage) — and he was serious about it!
Since the end of World War II in 1945, Globalization 2.0 began with the U.S. leading a model of low tariffs and free markets. After 80 years of evolution—especially after China joined the WTO—this model revealed severe flaws: The leader (the U.S.) suffered losses; the beneficiaries (like China) did not pass on gains to their citizens. Weak consumption, hollowed-out U.S. industry, uncontrollable trade deficits, and selectively enforced WTO rules all led to unfairness, fragile global supply chains, and mutual harm. China’s rural decay, low human rights, and suppressed consumption reflect a mutual harm mechanism, clearly signaling that an upgrade to Globalization 3.0 is imperative. We must transcend the dichotomies of Left vs. Right, East vs. West, Liberal vs. Conservative. Any mindset that takes itself as the “Subject” and treats others and the world as mere “Objects” to control and manipulate must be transformed into Intersubjective Symbiosism. Over three months ago, I declared: Why did the Universal Tariffs come? Because Globalization III is an inevitable necessity!

總統的三大政治遺產(理念與領導力) ——寫於川普第一任總統離任日 錢 宏(Archer Hong Qian)
2020年1月之前,由於信息不對稱,我和其他人一樣,看到聽到的,都是醜化川普的資訊和漫畫! 2020年1月19日偶然到了北美,什麼信息都不缺,判斷在自己,偉大或是渺小不與個人利益立場關聯性為據,而是看當地人的感受,我只看以下三點:“美國國內事務”、“國際社會和世界事務”、“全球化重組”,川普先生做了什麼。 第一、美國社會國內事務:川普倡導“美國優先”(或MAGA)內涵是,不只是美國政府而且是各國政府,都首先要對本國社會和社區人民好,並且落實在政策實踐毫不動搖,特別是他的減稅政策(中國語境叫“輕徭薄賦”),得到美國婦女,尤其是有孩子的婦女、平民勞動者(紅脖子)和中產階級這些不會寫文章、不會繪畫、更不會操作投票機偷竊選票和不能操縱國家機器程序確認竊選結果的往昔無人關心的美國的沉默大多數的衷心歡迎,這就是偉大——孩子、婦女、勞工再怎麼卑微(他們在政治鬥爭中也確實沒什麼用,除非革命起義),但卻代表著人類的未來和生活的希望,改變了“窮人富人二元對立”而指向特權操縱的社會再平衡認知——從追求結果公平到追求起點、機會公平! 第二,國際社會和世界事務:就是川普做美國總統的四年,猛一回望,人們發現,過去動不動就荼毒平民、讓士兵當炮灰的戰爭,恐怖襲擊爆炸幾乎消聲匿跡了——國別(民族)之爭的本質,實際上是不同國家的權力-資本精英代理人綁架本國人民之爭——作為政治素人的川普總統,他不是利益團伙的精英代理人,他甚至不與之同流合污(先富起來的他,一再強調他本來沒有從政的訴求),當然也就不存在要用戰爭的極端方式解決國別衝突中的精英代理人矛盾的問題(在一定程度上也由此得罪了所有國家甚至盟國敵國的利益團伙及其精英代理人)——他的方式是,有話好好說,坐下來談,談不好寧可用經濟制裁也不打仗,然後接着談,談好了簽約並誠信履行,於是,以色列與中東四國簽下了過去想都不敢想的和平協議,塞爾維亞與斯洛文尼亞再也不談誰統一誰化干戈為玉帛了,朝鮮核試驗停止了,ISIS真的銷聲匿了,倫敦、巴黎太平了,還有中美各國政府對本國難民、非法移民負起了責任,避免了國與國之間、非法移民難民(部分犯罪行為,如販毒吸毒強姦賣淫)與當地居民之間的衝突……從而開創了世界和平的新方法、新篇章! 第三,全球化重組:有鑑於WTO自由貿易互惠原則(任何成員在給予其他成員優惠待遇的同時,也享有其他成員給予的同等優惠待遇,卻沒有“雙邊對等關稅原則”造成“經濟全球化”規則漏洞)陷入羅德里克三元悖論(全球自由貿易、國家主權和民主人權三者不可兼得)在過去二十多年間存在事實上的不公平,川普總統以《談判藝術》錨定雙邊或多邊談判,在保持買賣公平的前提下,實現基於產業鏈、供應鏈、價值鏈三鏈趨勢的零關稅、零壁壘、零歧視三零規則的全球化重組,以改變現行“經濟全球化”在政府重商主義或國家資本主義面前束手無策的局面,美墨加自由貿易恊議的簽署,只是剛剛開始(其不足是對第三國轉口貿易缺乏關稅要求,可能是個漏洞),如此這般一個國家一個國家、一個區域一個區域地談下去,最後的結果,將是一個全新的全球化路線——全球共生主義…… 
但是,Trumpism & Trumpnomics=有信仰的平民自組織主義+世界和平+全球化重組,必然與精英代理人主義和東方專制主義(表現為政府重商主義)發生衝突! 川普的偉大,在於他富有傻子般的發心、聖人般的智慧和騎士般的勇氣,知難而進,而且成就卓著,示範性地開啟了重建世界秩序之路! 不管川普個人有怎樣的缺點(確實政治上不成熟,不夠“老政客”,比如發推文太多,任性,急躁,動輒退群,大嘴巴亂開玩笑),但是,如何對待川普的三大政治遺產,考驗着作為燈塔之國接下來掌控者們的智慧、勇氣和擔當! 當然,成為美國平民後的川普先生,接下來是選擇自己安寧享受富貴生活,還是重新組黨和創建媒體繼續宣傳Trumpism & Trumpnomics?甚至2024年第二次競選美國總統……這都是他的權利,更無可厚非,他該為美國和世界盡的職責,已經盡過了——至少作出了艱難而明確的示範! 我本人期待他2024年的回歸,將他開創的未竟事業——化解衝突重建世界秩序的努力——進行到底!
