Izikhulu eziphezulu zezohwebo ezivela e-United States nase-China ziphethe izinsuku ezimbili zalokho izinhlangothi zombili ezikuchaze njengezingxoxo "ezakhayo", zivuma ukuqhubeka nemizamo yokwelula isivumelwano samanje sezinsuku ezingama-90 sokumisa intela. Izingxoxo, ezibanjelwe eStockholm, ziza njengoba isivumelwano—esasungulwa ngoMeyi—sizophela ngomhlaka-12 Agasti.
Umxoxisani wezentengiselwano waseShayina uLi Chenggang uthe womabili la mazwe azibophezele ekugcineni ukumiswa okwesikhashana kwentela yokuziphindiselela. Kodwa-ke, uNobhala Wezezimali wase-US uScott Bessent ugcizelele ukuthi noma yikuphi ukwelulwa kwesivumelwano sokuthula ekugcineni kuzoncika ekuvunyelweni nguMongameli uDonald Trump.
“Akukho okuvunyelwana ngakho kuze kube yilapho sikhuluma noMengameli uTrump,” kusho uBessent etshela izintatheli, yize ephawule ukuthi imihlangano ibinezithelo. “Asikakayinikezi imvume yokusayinwa okwamanje.”
Ekhuluma e-Air Force One ngesikhathi ebuya eScotland, uMongameli uTrump ukuqinisekisile ukuthi wayetshelwe ngezingxoxo futhi uzothola ulwazi oluningiliziwe ngosuku olulandelayo. Ngemva nje kokubuyela kwakhe e-White House, uTrump waqala kabusha ukuphakamisa intela yezimpahla zaseShayina, lapho iBeijing yaziphindiselela khona ngezinyathelo zayo. NgoMeyi, izinhlangothi zombili zase zifinyelele esivumelwaneni sesikhashana ngemuva kokuba intela yentela ikhuphuke yaba ngamanani amathathu.
Njengoba kunjalo, izimpahla zaseShayina zisalokhu zikhokhiswa intela eyengeziwe engu-30% uma kuqhathaniswa nasekuqaleni kuka-2024, kuyilapho izimpahla zase-US ezingena eShayina zibhekene nokwenyuka ngo-10%. Ngaphandle kokwelulwa okusemthethweni, lezi ntela zingase ziphinde zibekwe noma zikhuliswe kakhulu, okungase kuphazamise ukuhamba kokuhweba komhlaba wonke futhi.
Ngaphandle kwentela, i-US ne-China zisaphikisana ngezinkinga ezahlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa nesidingo se-Washington sokuthi i-ByteDance ihlukane ne-TikTok, isheshise ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe kwezimbiwa ezibalulekile zaseShayina, kanye nobudlelwano be-China ne-Russia ne-Iran.
Lona bekuwumzuliswano wesithathu osemthethweni phakathi kwala mazwe amabili kusukela ngo-Ephreli. Izihambeli zixoxe nangokusetshenziswa kwezivumelwano zangaphambilini phakathi kukaMongameli uTrump noMongameli uXi Jinping, kanye nezihloko ezibalulekile njengezimbiwa zomhlaba ezingavamile—ezibalulekile kwezobuchwepheshe ezifana nezimoto zikagesi.
ULi uphinde wathi izinhlangothi zombili “ziyaqaphela ngokugcwele ukubaluleka kokugcina ubudlelwano bezomnotho obuzinzile nobuqinile phakathi kweShayina ne-US.” Khonamanjalo, uBessent uzwakalise ithemba, ephawula umfutho otholakale ezivumelwaneni zokuhwebelana zakamuva neJapan kanye ne-European Union. “Ngikholwa ukuthi iShayina ibisesimweni sokuxoxa kabanzi,” enezela.
UMongameli uTrump ubelokhu ezwakalisa ukukhungatheka ngenxa yokuntuleka okukhulu kwezentengiselwano e-US neChina, okufinyelele ku-$295 billion ngonyaka odlule. Ummeleli Wezohwebo e-US uJamieson Greer uthe i-US isivele isendleleni yokunciphisa lelo gebe ngama-$50 billion kulo nyaka.
Noma kunjalo, uBessent ucacise ukuthi iWashington ayihlose ukuqeda ngokuphelele umnotho waseShayina. “Sidinga nje ukususa engcupheni izimboni ezithile zeqhinga—izimboni ezingavamile, ama-semiconductor, kanye nemithi,” esho.
