Izikhulu eziphezulu zezohwebo ezivela e-United States naseChina ziphothule izinsuku ezimbili zalokho izinhlangothi zombili ezikuchaze njengezingxoxo “ezakhayo,” zavumelana ngokuqhubeka nemizamo yokwelula isivumelwano sentela sezinsuku ezingama-90 samanje. Izingxoxo, ezibanjelwe eStockholm, ziza njengoba isivumelwano—esisungulwe ngoMeyi—sizophelelwa yisikhathi ngo-August 12.
Umxhumanisi wezohwebo waseChina u-Li Chenggang uthe womabili la mazwe azibophezele ekulondolozeni ukumiswa kwesikhashana ezindlekweni ze-tit-for-tat. Kodwa-ke, uNobhala woMgcinimafa waseMelika uScott Bessen ukugcizelele ukuthi noma yikuphi ukunwetshwa kwesivumelwano kuzoncika ekugunyazweni kukaMongameli uDonald Trump.
"Akukho okuvunyelenwe kuze kube yilapho sikhuluma noMongameli uTrump," u-Bessent etshela izintatheli, nakuba ephawule ukuthi imihlangano ibikhiqiza. "Besingakakuniki ukusayina."
Ekhuluma e-Air Force One lapho ebuya eScotland, uMongameli uTrump ukuqinisekisile ukuthi wayetshelwe ngezingxoxo futhi uzothola isibuyekezo esinemininingwane ngosuku olulandelayo. Ngemva nje kokubuyela e-White House, uTrump uphinde waqala ukunyusa amanani ezimpahleni zaseShayina, lapho iBeijing yaphindisela khona ngezinyathelo zayo. NgoMeyi, izinhlangothi zombili zase zifinyelele esivumelwaneni sesikhashana ngemuva kokuthi amanani entengo ekhuphuke abe amadijithi amathathu.
Njengoba kumile, izimpahla zaseShayina zihlala zingaphansi kwentela eyengeziwe engu-30% uma kuqhathaniswa nasekuqaleni kuka-2024, kuyilapho izimpahla zase-US ezingena eChina zibhekene nokukhuphuka ngo-10%. Ngaphandle kokunwetshwa okusemthethweni, lezi zindleko zingahle zehliswe kabusha noma zengezwe ngokuqhubekayo, okungase kuphazamise ukugeleza kohwebo emhlabeni wonke futhi.
Ngaphandle kwentela, i-US ne-China basalokhu bengaboni ngaso linye ngezinkinga eziningi, okuhlanganisa nesidingo sikaWashington sokuthi i-ByteDance ihlukane ne-TikTok, yasheshisa ukuthunyelwa kwe-China kwezimbiwa ezibalulekile, kanye nobudlelwano baseChina neRussia ne-Iran.
Lona bekuwumjikelezo wesithathu wokuxoxisana phakathi kwala mazwe womabili kusukela ngo-Ephreli. Izihambeli ziphinde zaxoxa ngokusetshenziswa kwezivumelwano ezedlule phakathi kukaMongameli uTrump kanye noMongameli u-Xi Jinping, kanye nezihloko ezibalulekile ezifana namaminerali angavamile emhlabeni—okubalulekile kubuchwepheshe obufana nezimoto zikagesi.
U-Li uphinde wathi izinhlangothi zombili "zikwazi ngokugcwele ukubaluleka kokugcina ubudlelwano obuzinzile nobuqinile kwezomnotho e-China-US." Khonamanjalo, u-Bessent uzwakalise ukuba nethemba, ephawula umfutho ozuzwe ezivumelwaneni zakamuva zohwebo ne-Japan kanye ne-European Union. "Ngikholwa ukuthi iChina ibisesimweni sezingxoxo ezibanzi," engeza.
UMongameli uTrump ubelokhu ezwakalisa ukukhungatheka ngokushoda okukhulu kwezohwebo kwe-US neChina, okufinyelele ku-$295 billion ngonyaka odlule. Ummeleli Wezohwebo wase-US uJamieson Greer uthe i-US isivele isendleleni yokunciphisa lelo gebe ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-50 kulo nyaka.
Noma kunjalo, u-Bessent wacacisa ukuthi iWashington ayihlosile ukudilizwa ngokuphelele kwezomnotho eChina. "Sidinga nje ukubeka engcupheni izimboni ezithile zamasu - umhlaba ongavamile, ama-semiconductors, nemithi," esho.
