American logistic expert reports from China with Chinese subtitles video: That didn't take long: Trump's trade deals already blowing up industries and governments in Asia 美國物流在中國報導有中文字幕視訊: 這並未耗費太長時間:特朗普的貿易協議已開始衝擊亞洲各行業與政府

Opposition parties in Malaysia and Thailand are outraged at the one-sided trade deals their respective PM's signed with the Trump Administration.

The agreements give Washington priority over mining industry interests, and contain "poison pill" provisions that allow the US to cancel them in case of separate trade deals with third countries.

The language of the deal with Malaysia will likely blow up plans for Chinese companies to invest billions, to develop Malaysia's rare earth metals industries. The agreement gives Washington rights to rare earth metals in Malaysia, who is in advanced talks with China for the equipment and engineers to do the mining and refining.

美國物流在中國報導有中文字幕視訊: 這並未耗費太長時間:特朗普的貿易協議已開始衝擊亞洲各行業與政府

馬來西亞與泰國的反對黨派對其總理與特朗普政府簽署的單邊貿易協議表示強烈憤慨。這些協議賦予華盛頓在礦業利益上的優先權,並包含「毒丸條款」——若相關國家與第三方簽署獨立貿易協議,美國有權單方面終止合作。

與馬來西亞的協議條款很可能將摧毀中國企業投資數十億美元開發馬來西亞稀土產業的計劃。該協議將馬來西亞的稀土權益授予華盛頓,而馬來西亞此前已與中國就礦產開採和精煉設備與人才引進開展深入談判。
