2019/09/01 06:23
http://blog.udn.com/MengyuanWang/129049837
我在今年一月录制《八方论坛》节目，讨论华为孟晚舟事件背后真相的时候，因为和史
东在节目前聊天，谈到中美贸易战，所以在节目结束前也换到这个话题，做了一些预测。
当时我认为中国进入经济迟缓比美国早了半年多，所以最好是不要急着谈出协议，等到
七八月美国经济问题明显化，Trump的压力大增，谈判的天平自然会向中方倾斜。这个
预见已经准确实现了。
但是我也提到届时已经进入Trump这个任期的尾端，而Trump赢得连任的机会实在不大，
任何美方的承诺都会在2020年底自动作废，所以中方必须避免落入单方面承担协议责任
的窘境。这个分析同样仍然有效；而实际上中方的谈判团队在Trump多次反复之后，似
乎已经理解到Trump自己都大机率会废除或违反协议的条款，对下一任美国政府更加不
能寄予希望，那么当然不会再急着在一张废纸上签字。
