Amagosa aphezulu kwezorhwebo avela eMelika naseTshayina agqibe iintsuku ezimbini zengxoxo "ezakhayo" ezichazwe macala omabini, evuma ukuqhubeka nemizamo yokwandisa isivumelwano seentsuku ezingama-90 sokurhoxisa irhafu. Ezi ngxoxo, ezibanjelwe eStockholm, ziza njengoko isivumelwano - esasekwa ngoMeyi - simiselwe ukuphela nge-12 ka-Agasti.
Ingcali kwezorhwebo yaseTshayina uLi Chenggang uthe omabini la mazwe azibophelele ekugcineni ukumiswa okwethutyana kweerhafu zokuziphindezela. Nangona kunjalo, uNobhala weSebe lezeMali laseMelika uScott Bessent ugxininise ukuba naluphi na ulwandiso lwesivumelwano ekugqibeleni luya kuxhomekeka ekuvunyweni nguMongameli uDonald Trump.
“Akukho nto kuvunyelwana ngayo de sithethe noMongameli uTrump,” uBessent uxelele iintatheli, nangona ephawule ukuba iintlanganiso bezinemveliso. “Asikayiniki imvumelwano okwangoku.”
Ethetha kwi-Air Force One xa wayebuya eScotland, uMongameli uTrump uqinisekisile ukuba uxelelwe ngeengxoxo kwaye uza kufumana uhlaziyo oluthe kratya ngosuku olulandelayo. Emva nje kokubuyela kwakhe kwi-White House, uTrump waqhubeka nokunyusa irhafu kwiimpahla zaseTshayina, apho iBeijing yaziphindezela ngayo. NgoMeyi, omabini amacala ayefikelele kwisivumelwano sexesha elifutshane emva kokuba irhafu inyukile yaya kumanani amathathu.
Okwangoku, iimpahla zaseTshayina zisaxhomekeke kwirhafu eyongezelelweyo ye-30% xa kuthelekiswa nokuqala kuka-2024, ngelixa iimpahla zase-US ezingena eTshayina zijongene nokunyuka kwe-10%. Ngaphandle kokwandiswa ngokusesikweni, ezi rhafu zinokuphinda zibekwe okanye zonyuswe ngakumbi, nto leyo enokuphazamisa ukuhamba korhwebo lwehlabathi kwakhona.
Ngaphaya kwerhafu, i-US ne-China zisaphikisana ngemiba eyahlukeneyo, kuquka imfuno yeWashington yokuba i-ByteDance ilahle iTikTok, ikhawulezise ukuthunyelwa kwezimbiwa ezibalulekileyo eTshayina, kunye nobudlelwane be-China ne-Russia ne-Iran.
Lo yayingumjikelo wesithathu wengxoxo-mpikiswano phakathi kwala mazwe mabini ukusukela ngo-Epreli. Abathunywa baxoxe nangokuphunyezwa kwezivumelwano zangaphambili phakathi kukaMongameli uTrump noMongameli uXi Jinping, kunye nezihloko ezibalulekileyo ezifana neeminerali zomhlaba ezinqabileyo—ezibalulekileyo kubuchwepheshe obufana nezithuthi zombane.
ULi uphinde wathi omabini amacala “ayazi kakuhle ukubaluleka kokugcina ubudlelwane bezoqoqosho obuzinzileyo nobuqinileyo phakathi kweTshayina ne-US.” Okwangoku, uBessent ubonakalise ithemba, ephawula amandla afunyenwe kwizivumelwano zorhwebo zakutshanje neJapan kunye neManyano yaseYurophu. “Ndikholelwa ukuba iTshayina ibikwimeko yeengxoxo ezibanzi,” wongezelela.
UMongameli uTrump ebesoloko evakalisa ukudana ngenxa yokusilela okukhulu kwezorhwebo eMelika neTshayina, okufikelele kwi-$295 yeebhiliyoni kunyaka ophelileyo. Ummeli wezoRhwebo eMelika uJamieson Greer uthe iMelika sele isendleleni yokunciphisa loo msantsa nge-$50 yeebhiliyoni kulo nyaka.
Sekunjalo, uBessent ucacisile ukuba iWashington ayijongi ukwahlukana ngokupheleleyo koqoqosho neTshayina. “Sifuna nje ukususa umngcipheko kumashishini athile abalulekileyo—iindawo ezinqabileyo, ii-semiconductors, kunye namayeza,” utshilo.
