Forecasters say Tropical Storm Tammy has formed in the Atlantic_我的网站

一 | MIAMI -- Tropical Storm Tammy formed Wednesday afternoon in the Atlantic Ocean, putting a group of islands on alert for its expected approach.The Miami-based National Hurricane Center said Tammy was centered at 5 p.m. EDT about 625 miles (1,005 kilometers) east of the Windward Islands. It was moving briskly to the west at 23 mph (37 kph) and expected to gradually strengthen in coming days.Tropical storm watches have been issued for Barbados, Dominica, and Martinique and Guadeloupe. Forecasters said tropical storm conditions were possible in the region starting within 48 hours and that further watches and warnings will likely be required Wednesday night or Thursday. Tammy is initially expected to spread heavy rains over the northern Windward and Leeward Islands through Friday and then across the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico over the weekend, according to the hurricane center.The center's opening advisory on Tammy said total rainfall could measure between 3 and 6 inches (7-14 centimeters) with maximum amounts of 10 inches (25 centimeters) in some spots in the northern Windward Islands and Leeward Islands. Lesser rainfall amounts are expected in the British and U.S. Virgin Islands into eastern Puerto Rico, the hurricane center added.The prospect of heavy rains as Tammy nears those islands raises a threat of scattered flash flooding, urban flooding and isolated mudslides in higher terrain, according to meteorologists.。

据悉，上周多家美国媒体报道拜登政府准备对中国电动汽车“下狠手”，以所谓的“国家安全”等名义对中国电动汽车企业加征100%的关税，且还要向医疗器械等商品征收新关税。

三 | 美媒称预计新关税施加之后，中国电动汽车对美出口会有巨大的影响，但同时美方也做好了“被反制”的准备，对华出口汽车预计也会遭到对应的限制措施。总之就是和去年一样，所有的后果都由英特尔等芯片企业买单，美企的亏损由自己承担就行了。

11日，美媒彭博社发表了一篇题目为“美国丧失了竞争的勇气”的文章，批评拜登政府和美国车企在对中国的各项竞争中采取的“缩头”政策。文章称拜登在早前出台了《通货膨胀削减法》，对美国汽车企业进行大额的补贴，他们自信能在世界上取得领先。

五 | 但数据很快不留情面地给了拜登沉重一击——各大企业经营状况都不好，比如特斯拉准备进行10%的裁员、通用公司的年度报表很难看、福特宣布削减预定的120亿美元电动车支出计划等。在得到政府补助之后，企业看起来仍然很萎靡。

接下来美国就必须要面临全球最大的电动汽车挑战了，中国在电动汽车转型中非常成功，可以说是无缝过渡到新领域。

六 | 再加上成本、供应链的整合问题，即使是特斯拉一样的企业在中国也竞争力平平。最后，美国决定不“迎战”中国而是选择将对华电动汽车关税提高三倍至100%，用了一个几乎没有说服力的“安全”理由。现在美国将头埋在沙子里，车企们甚至将能源转型视为一场噩梦，对中国的竞争非常恐惧。

分析则提及，拜登选择“避战”是因为他们只有这一个选项，如果打开国家大门，车企可能因此被冲垮。其一是美方在过去几年试图降低供应链成本，将电车部件转移到墨西哥、拉美和亚洲国家来做，到现在都没有完成；其二是车企早些年已经开始被美国创造的“高关税”温床所包围，美国汽车在这种环境中根本没有竞争对手来挑战，但他们的环境也越来越奇怪，就像是鸟儿进化去掉了翅膀。
