当市场控制时，“帝国结束”

自由市场倡导者和前国会议员罗恩·保罗（Ron Paul）在4月9日的《自由报告》广播中警告说，美国和中国之间的关税紧张局势不断提高，这是更深层经济和地缘政治问题的症状，这可能导致全球不稳定。

Former Congressman Ron Paul, a presidential candidate in 1988, warned that the U.S.-China trade war could worsen as both sides escalate tariffs in a move that reflects deeper economic and geopolitical problems, setting the stage for prolonged global instability.

前国会议员罗恩·保罗（Ron Paul）是1988年的总统候选人，他警告说，随着双方都升级关税的举动反映了更深层的经济和地缘政治问题，这场战争可能会恶化，这为长期的全球不稳定奠定了基础。

During his April 9 Liberty Report broadcast, Paul, a staunch free market advocate, expressed concern over the candidates' handling of the trade conflict, which he attributed to both political posturing and a poor understanding of market principles.

坚定的自由市场倡导者保罗（Paul）在4月9日的《自由报告》广播中，对候选人对贸易冲突的处理表示关注，他归因于政治姿态和对市场原则的不良理解。

"We’re now up to 145% tariffs on Chinese imports, and China is hitting back with 125% tariffs beginning this weekend," Paul said, referring to the latest round of trade friction. "It’s bad economics, but I consider it bad diplomacy."

保罗说：“现在，我们对中国进口量的关税高达145％，本周末开始以125％的关税打击。” “这是不好的经济学，但我认为这是不良外交。”

Throughout the discussion, Paul highlighted the role of the Federal Reserve in contributing to market distortions through interest rate manipulation and inflationary policies.

在整个讨论中，保罗强调了美联储通过利率操纵和通货膨胀政策促成市场扭曲的作用。

"You can have a Fed messing up the economy, screwing around with the screwing around with the interest rates, causing weakness here and there. But eventually the markets rule and they get out of control, and there’s nothing the government can do," Paul said.

保罗说：“您可以让美联储弄乱经济，搞砸了利率，在这里和那里造成弱点。但是最终市场统治和他们失控了，政府无能为力。”

He also touched upon the American public’s acceptance of protectionist policies, which he attributed to a revival of economic nationalism.

他还谈到了美国公众对贸易保护主义政策的接受，这归因于经济民族主义的复兴。

"It seems like there’s some jingoism going along here because they’ve established the narrative that they’re ripping us off," noted Paul’s co-host Daniel McAdams, the Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, in reference to China and other trading nations.

保罗·保罗和平与繁荣学院的执行董事丹尼尔·麦克亚当斯（Daniel McAdams）指出，罗恩·保罗和平与繁荣研究所的执行董事，指的是中国和其他贸易国家。

"Yeah, well, they’re not ripping us off. They’re trading with us. We’re the ones who put up with the tariffs and the trade barriers that our own politicians create," Paul responded.

保罗回答说：“是的，他们没有把我们剥夺。他们正在与我们交易。我们是那些承担关税和我们自己政客创造的贸易障碍的人。”

The candidates' remarks come as global markets react sharply to the tariff hikes, with volatility seen across major indices, including the Dow and Nasdaq.

候选人的讲话是随着全球市场对关税远足的敏锐反应，在包括道琼斯指数和纳斯达克在内的主要指数之间的波动率急剧下降。

According to Paul, only a return to sound money, market-based trade, and reduced federal intervention can reverse the current trajectory.

保罗说，只有回报货币，基于市场的贸易和减少联邦干预才能扭转当前的轨迹。

"If the people don’t wake up, and they don’t vote this stuff down, and don’t throw out the politicians voting for all this and fighting all these wars, the market will do it. You know, empires end," Paul concluded.

保罗总结说：“如果人民不醒来，他们不会投票下来，也不要抛弃政客投票支持所有这一切并与所有这些战争作斗争，那么市场就会做到。你知道，帝国结束了。”
