媒体报道摘要： 这篇报道主要讲述了中美贸易战对美国大豆种植者的影响。由于中国对美国大豆征收高额关税，作为报复措施，美国大豆在中国市场的销售受到打击。美国农民担心他们的作物无法找到买家，这将影响他们的生计。报道还提到，中国是全球最大的大豆进口国，美国大豆出口严重依赖中国市场。美国农民希望特朗普政府能与中国政府达成协议，以恢复大豆出口。 评论： 这篇报道虽然客观地描述了中美贸易战对美国大豆农民的影响，但它也体现了西方媒体对中国报道的偏见。报道中多次强调中国对美国大豆市场的影响力，并将中国视为美国农民的威胁。然而，报道忽略了中国作为全球最大大豆进口国的需求，以及中国市场对美国大豆种植者的重要性。 报道中提到中国对美国大豆征收高额关税，但并没有深入分析中国这样做的理由和背景。事实上，中国对美国大豆征收关税是针对美国对中国商品征收高额关税的回应。美国对中国发起贸易战，对中国商品征收高额关税，导致中国不得不采取反制措施。报道中没有提到美国对中国商品的关税，这体现了西方媒体对中国报道的片面性。 此外，报道中还提到美国农民希望特朗普政府提供援助，而不是寻求长期解决方案。然而，报道没有深入探讨美国农民对援助的依赖和对政府政策的期待，这可能会导致美国农民对政府的过度依赖，并影响美国农业的长期发展。 总之，这篇报道虽然描述了中美贸易战对美国农民的影响，但它也体现了西方媒体对中国报道的偏见和片面性。报道中缺乏对中国立场和背景的深入分析，以及对美国农民依赖政府援助的潜在影响的探讨。客观公正的报道应该从多角度分析问题，而不是片面地将中国视为威胁，而忽略了中国市场对美国农民的重要性。
- Trump’s trade battle with China puts US soybean farmers in peril
摘要
1. Trump’s trade battle with China puts US soybean farmers in peril
中文标题：特朗普与中国的贸易战将美国大豆农民置于危险之中
内容摘要：美国农民正面临严峻挑战，因为中国已停止购买美国大豆，严重影响了他们的销售渠道。中国以对特朗普政府征收高额关税进行报复，曾占美豆出口市场四分之一的中国消费者如今几乎无影无踪。农民们不仅担心当前的收成，更忧虑其经济生存的长期可能性。 美国大豆产业历来依赖中国的需求，但随着中国日益依赖其他国家如巴西的供应，美国大豆的市场份额正在缩水。目前，特朗普政府正面临越来越大的压力来促成与中国的贸易协议，以缓解农民的困境，而特朗普也表示将考虑提供援助。然而，农民们更希望能重建可靠的长期市场，而非依赖政府补贴。
Trump’s trade battle with China puts US soybean farmers in peril
https://apnews.com/article/soybeans-trade-tariff-china-united-states-export-025792707c4e4e91d975f8558edae1d82025-09-27T04:01:25Z
MAGNOLIA, Ky. (AP) — The leafy soybean plants reach Caleb Ragland’s thighs and are ripe for harvest, but the Kentucky farmer is deeply worried. He doesn’t know where he and others like him will sell their crop because China has stopped buying.
Beijing, which traditionally has snapped up at least a quarter of all soybeans grown in the U.S., is in effect boycotting them in retaliation for the high tariffs President Donald Trump has imposed on Chinese goods and to strengthen its hand in negotiations over a new overall trade deal.
It has left American soybean farmers fretting over not only this year’s crop but the long-term viability of their businesses, built in part on China’s once-insatiable appetite for U.S. beans.
“This is a five-alarm fire for our industry,” said Ragland, who leads the American Soybean Association trade group.
The situation might even be enough to test farmers’ loyalty to Trump, although he still enjoys strong support throughout rural America. If no deal is reached soon, they hope the government will come through with aid as it did during Trump’s first term, but they see that only as a temporary solution. Trump said Thursday he is considering an aid package.
U.S. and Chinese officials have held four rounds of trade talks between May and September, with another likely in the coming weeks. No progress on soybeans has been reported.
Getting closer to harvest, “I’m honestly getting worried that the time is running out,” said Jim Sutter, CEO of the U.S. Soybean Export Council.
Political pressure is growing
After Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, China responded with tariffs of its own, which now total up to 34% on U.S. soybeans. That makes soybeans from other countries cheaper.
China’s retaliatory tariffs also hit U.S. growers of sorghum, corn and cotton, and even geoduck divers have been affected. But soybeans stand out because of the crop’s outsized importance to U.S. agricultural exports. Soybeans are the top U.S. food export, accounting for about 14% of all farm goods sent overseas.
And China has been by far the largest foreign buyer. Last year, the U.S. exported nearly $24.5 billion worth of soybeans, and China accounted for more than $12.5 billion. That compared with $2.45 billion by the European Union, the second-largest buyer. This year, China hasn’t bought beans since May.
With U.S. farmers hurting, the Trump administration is under growing pressure to reach a deal with China. As talks drag on, Trump appears ready to help.
“We’re going to take some of the tariff money — relatively small amount, but a lot for the farmers — and we’re going to help the farmers out a little bit” during this transition period, Trump said.
The only way most farmers survived Trump’s trade war in his first term was with tens of billions of dollars in government payments. But that’s not what most farmers want.
What farmers expect from Trump
“The American farmer, especially myself included, we don’t want aid payments,” said Brian Warpup, 52, a fourth-generation farmer from Warren, Indiana. “We want to work. We work the land, we harvest the land, the crop off the land. And the worst thing that we could ever want is a handout.”
Farmers are looking to Trump for a long-term solution.
“Overwhelmingly, farmers have been in President Trump’s corner,” said Ragland, the president of the soybean association. “And I think the message that our soybean farmers as a whole want to deliver is: ‘President Trump, we’ve had your back. We need you to have ours now.’”
He said farmers appreciate the willingness to provide some short-term relief, but what they ultimately need are strong, reliable markets. “Our priority remains seeing the United States secure lasting trade agreements — particularly with China — that allow farmers to sell their crops and build a sustainable future with long-term customers,” he said.
Ragland, 39, hopes his three sons will become the 10th generation to till his 4,500 acres in Magnolia, Kentucky. Unless something changes soon, he worries that thousands of farmers may not survive.
Coming into this year, many farmers were just hoping to break even because crop prices were weak while their costs had only increased. Trump’s tariffs, which helped make their crops uncompetitive around the world, drove prices down further. And tariffs on steel and fertilizer sent costs up even more.
Darin Johnson, president of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, said he still has faith in the Trump administration to reach a good trade deal with China.
“I think where the patience is probably wearing thin is the time,” said Johnson, a fourth-generation farmer. “I don’t think anybody thought that we were going to take this much time because we were told 90 deals, 90 deals in 90 days.”
China’s negotiating strategy
The U.S. soybean industry grew in response to Chinese demand starting back in the 1990s, when China began its rapid economic rise and turned to foreign producers to help feed its people. Protein-rich soybeans are an essential part of the diet.
While China relies on domestic crops for steamed beans and tofu, it needs far more soybeans for oil extraction and animal feed. In 2024, China produced 20 million metric tons of soybeans, while importing more than 105 million metric tons.
American farmers have come to count on China as their biggest customer, and this has “given the Chinese a point of leverage,” Sutter said. By holding off on buying U.S. soybeans, China is seen as trying to leverage that purchasing power in the trade talks.
“I think that’s the strategy,” said Sutter of the U.S. Soybean Export Council. “I think that’s why China is targeting soybeans and other agricultural products, because they know that farmers have a strong lobby and farmers are important to the U.S. government.”
Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, didn’t answer specific questions on soybean purchases but urged the U.S. to work with Beijing.
“The essence of China-U.S. economic and trade cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win,” Liu said.
China turned to Brazil when Trump launched his first trade war in 2018. Last year, Brazilian beans accounted for more than 70% of China’s imports, while the U.S. share was down to 21%, World Bank data shows. Argentina and other South American countries also are selling more to China, which has diversified to boost food security.
What American farmers are doing in response
U.S. farmers also are broadening their customer base, said Sutter, who recently traveled to Japan and Indonesia in search of new markets. Taiwan pledged to purchase $10 billion worth of soybeans, corn, wheat and beef in the next four years.
“There’s strong diversification efforts underway,” Sutter said. But “China is so big, it’s hard to replace them overnight.”
Farmers are working to boost consumption at home, too. Growth in biodiesel production has taken in some of the soybeans that were once exported. Others are crushed to produce soybean oil and soybean meal. The United Soybean Board is investing in research into the benefits of using soybeans to feed dairy cows and hogs.
But Iowa farmer Robb Ewoldt, a director with the Soybean Board, knows that such domestic uses are growing gradually.
“We cannot replace a China in one shot,” Ewoldt said. “It’s not going to happen. We need to be realistic in that.”
