今早9點鐘金價跳空搶占1930高地成功，開啟了第二輪上升軌道，再以1931的跳空缺口，作為新的支撐點，下午兩度測試確認之後，15點20分起逐步仰攻，並尋找新的頸線，傍晚測試1935確認頸線，讓上升波段穩定墊高，衝擊1948壓力線，晚間10點半鐘也被突破。
前兩天金價走勢進度，幾乎複製3月2日到4日突破壓力線的過程。
因此我們就可以推斷，越過1948線之後，將重複3月4日之後漲勢，先漲到1970為中繼站，再挑戰2000大關，一旦突破消化賣壓之後，勢必直攻2070和2075，重演王子復仇記，復活進度會追著消息走。
恭喜今日進場的朋友，歷經種種艱苦磨難，總算重新走上這紅毯。留守2000以上的勇士，再也不須心焦氣燥，援軍就在不遠的前方。
我們講好要會合攻頂，不再猶豫躊躇不前，這次一定要一鼓作氣，
登高眺望下一座峰頂，回顧來時一路艱辛，汗水淚水都將結碩果。
祝各位從此邁向坦途，播種收穫結實累累，載滿回憶更不虛此行。

China refusing to condemn Russia's actions in Ukraine
---Washington (CNN)
When President Joe Biden spoke Friday with Chinese President Xi Jinping, it wasn't just another phone call in an ongoing flurry of telephone diplomacy.
This call -- which went nearly two hours, according to the White House -- comes at a potential turning point for ties between the United States and China.
White House officials are watching with growing concern the budding partnership between Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and China's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine has proved troubling to western observers. Beijing appears to be neither fully supportive nor directly opposed, making for an uncertain stance Biden hopes both to decipher and influence in the call.
Conflict and confrontation is not in anyone's interest, Xi told Biden at the start of the call, according to Chinese state media.
"Peace and security are the most cherished treasures of the international community," CCTV quoted Xi as saying on the call.
White House officials said they expected the call could turn intense; a preliminary meeting between the two leaders' aides stretched for seven hours earlier this week. And Biden upped the stakes when he alluded to his call a day beforehand, declaring his Chinese counterpart "does not believe democracies can be sustained in the 21st century."
1. The call came at a critical moment in the Russia-Ukraine war
Biden spoke to Xi at a key juncture. According to US officials, China is weighing whether to provide military or financial assistance to Russia, which has requested it as its military sustains major losses in Ukraine. If China agrees, it could dampen its relationship with the West for decades to come.
"We're concerned that they're considering directly assisting Russia with military equipment to use in Ukraine," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday, confirming what other US officials had been warning for days.
Already, the United States has conveyed to some NATO allies it believes China has some willingness to support Russia, though Moscow denies asking for it and Beijing says it's not providing any help.
American officials say they believe Xi has been unsettled by Russia's invasion and the performance of Russia's military, which has experienced logistical and strategic setbacks since the invasion began more than two weeks ago.
Watching from Beijing, Xi was caught off-guard that his own intelligence had not been able to predict what would happen, even though the United States had been warning of an invasion for weeks, the officials said.
2. China could provide Russia with a range of support
US officials don't believe China would be willing to provide Russia with large offensive equipment like tanks or jets. Instead, officials said they believed it more likely China would send smaller items like meals, ammunition, spare parts or surveillance equipment -- if they send anything at all.
Officials said it was still possible China helps Russia alleviate the effect of withering Western sanctions through financial support, though it's unlikely the country would be able to completely blunt the effects of the US and European measures.
On their phone call, Biden hoped to make clear to Xi the downsides of assisting Russia's war, either through military or financial assistance. He was set to "make clear that China will bear responsibility for any actions it takes to support Russia's aggression and we will not hesitate to impose costs," Blinken said ahead of the call.
It is widely assumed Xi will secure a historic third term in power during the Communist Party's 20th National Congress in Beijing this fall. During such an important year, western experts believe Xi will be particularly mindful of the economic risks posed by secondary-sanctions. Trade between the European Union and China topped $800 billion last year and US-China trade was over $750 billion, according to China's official data, while its trade with Russia was just under $150 billion.
Yet there remains an ongoing debate within the administration about what steps to take against China should it decide to assist Russia.
Biden and his administration have declined to publicly discuss exactly what options they are considering, but have warned that there will be "consequences" for China if they support Russia.
3. US must manage a 'cold-blooded' partnership between Russia and China
Even before Russia invaded Ukraine, US officials were watching warily as Putin and Xi grew closer. CIA Director Bill Burns said last week the partnership was rooted in "a lot of very cold-blooded reasons."
The two leaders declared their relationship had "no limits" in a lengthy document in February, when Putin visited Beijing for talks and to attend the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. The document saw China back Russia's central demand to the West, with both sides "opposing further enlargement of NATO."
Since then, the partnership without limits has been tested as Xi weighs how to respond to Russia's war in Ukraine. Beijing's evolving response -- from denying an invasion would happen to attempting to avoid Western condemnation by presenting itself as willing to participate in mediation -- has been closely monitored by the White House.
US officials have seen mixed signals. When China abstained from a United Nations reprimand vote against Russia, it was viewed as a sign of Beijing distancing itself. And a top Chinese official said last month that Ukraine's sovereignty must be respected.
But other signs have pointed toward a more accommodating stance, including China's amplification of Russian disinformation. And top US officials have said a lack of denunciation is enough indication of where China's allegiance lies.
"We believe China in particular has a responsibility to use its influence with President Putin and to defend the international rules and principles that it professes to support," Blinken said Thursday.
"Instead, it appears that China is moving in the opposite direction by refusing to condemn this aggression while seeking to portray itself as a neutral arbiter."
4. American allies in Asia are watching China's reaction to Ukraine war closely
Russia's invasion of Ukraine -- breaching its sovereignty and sending Europe into its worst conflict in decades -- has sent ripples of anxiety across the world. One place watching closely is Taiwan, the self-governing island claimed by China.
Beijing has recently stepped-up military flights close to the island there and warned against American support. In the early days of the Ukraine conflict, there were fears Russia's invasion could portend a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, even though it did not appear one was imminent.
American officials have since downplayed the parallels, saying if anything, the united response to Russia may cause China to rethink whatever plans it had for Taiwan. Russia's invasion has galvanized not only the West and NATO but also countries in the Asia-Pacific -- an outcome American intelligence believed Xi was unprepared for, supposing instead that economic interests would prevent countries there from imposing severe sanctions.
Even some on Biden's own national security team were surprised at how quickly some US allies in Asia, including Japan and Australia, were willing to slap sanctions on Russia following its invasion.
5. Biden and Xi have a long history -- and very different worldviews
Biden is fond of citing the long hours he spent with Xi when both were serving as their country's vice president. He has claimed to have spent more time with Xi than any other world leader.
Yet they haven't met face-to-face since Biden took office and Xi has not left China during the Covid pandemic. That has left them to meet in web conferences or speak on the phone, a dynamic Biden has said that he does not find ideal.
He and his team have worked to establish a policy of managed competition with China. They have left in place the tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump and criticized China for not upholding its commitments from a Trump-era trade deal.
Before the conflict in Ukraine, Biden appeared intent on refocusing American foreign policy toward Asia, where he views the competition between the US and China as a defining challenge of the next century.
And while the Ukraine crisis has preoccupied the White House in recent weeks, officials insist they are still able to maintain their overriding vision.

拜習視訊不到2H結束！ 央視：中美元首又一次直接對話極不尋常
https://www.ettoday.net/amp/amp_news.php7?news_id=2211278
2022年03月18日 23:10
記者任以芳／北京報導
中美兩國元首自「烏俄衝突」爆發後，今晚（18日）九點多雙方正式視訊通話，大約不到兩小時，雙方稍早結束通話。大陸官媒《央視》報導稱「雙方商定不允許媒體進入。」目前大陸官媒只有北京人民大會堂外燈火通明的場外畫面，沒有流出任何內部視訊畫面。央視全程以文字快訊方式公布習近平談話內容，並且派出資深主播康輝戶外直播連線強調「「無論以何種方式，中美兩國元首的又一次直接對話是極不尋常。」
稍早，《央視》快訊指出，北京時間3月18日晚，國家主席習近平同美國總統拜登視頻通話，就中美關係和雙方共同關心的問題交換意見。「視頻通話於21時許開始。22時52分許，習近平主席同美國總統拜登視頻通話結束。」
針對拜習第二次視訊會談，這次大陸官媒沒有釋出任何相關照片或影像，從頭到尾都是視訊會場人民大會堂外的畫面，只有資深主播康輝直播連線更新進度。
針對拜習會談內容，央視稍早只公布文字訊息，主要內容稱習近平強調「國家關係不能走到兵戎相向這一步，衝突對抗不符合任何人的利益，和平安全才是國際社會最應珍惜的財富。」
時間回到四個月前，中美兩國元首第一次會晤，選在北京時間早上八點多登場，《央視》派出資深主播康輝在北京人民大會堂視訊現場搶先預告直播。
中美雙方一開始會晤氣氛融洽，拜習兩人互相揮手。習近平還說「見到老朋友很開心。」兩國也主動提供部分視訊影片和照片給世界各大媒體曝光。
相隔四個多月後，中美雙方領導人選在今晚北京時間九點多進行第二次視訊會談，昔日老朋友雲端相會，氣氛不同以往，雙方聚焦沈重的話題「俄烏衝突」。早在中美領導人會晤前夕，美國先亮出底牌稱「中國如果支持俄羅斯將付出代價」，企圖施壓讓中國表態制裁俄羅斯。
就在拜習會談大約20多分鍾後，《央視》才釋出相關訊息，沒有公開任何內部畫面，由央視資深主播康輝全程在北京人民大會堂外連線。目前北京戶外氣溫是零下負2度。
康輝首先說，「國家主席習近平應約同美國總統拜登就『中美關係』和雙方共同關心的問題交換意見。這是繼去年11月16號中美兩國元首舉行視頻會晤之後，僅僅間隔四個月，雙方又一次直接的對話。」
拜習今晚視訊會唔的重點？康輝強調，「無論以何種方式，中美兩國元首的又一次直接對話是極不尋常。」從去年11月的雲對話，我們注意到國際形勢發生新的重大變化，中國作為負責任的大國一直在為世界的和平與安寧，做著不懈的努力。
康輝說，同時也希望與美方共同落實去年11月兩國元首雲會晤達成的重要共識，共同承擔起應盡的國際責任，共同為推動中美關係重回健康穩定發展的正確軌道，積累更多的條件，因此習近平主席今天應約與美國總統拜登的這次直接對話備受關注。
康輝特地強調，「按照雙方的商定媒體記者，沒有能夠被允許進入到現場，所以我們會在這裡最近距離的大國外交最前線...。」
大約在晚上九點55分左右，康輝進行第二次直播。他說，「此刻，兩國元首的視頻通話還在進行中，我們最新瞭解到的最新的消息，在通話當中，習近平主席特別指出，去年11月兩國元首次通話以來，國際形勢發生了新的重大變化，和平與發展的時代主題面臨著嚴峻的挑戰，世界既不太平也不安寧，中美雙方不僅要引領中美關係，沿著正確的軌道向前發展，而且要承擔起應盡的國際責任，為世界的和平與安寧瞭解到中美兩國元首。」
康輝強調，今天這次視頻通話是就中美關係和烏克蘭局勢等共同關心的問題，交換意見。「我們期待這次視頻通話是坦誠深入的。」

拜登警告
習近平援俄將付代價
關切北京台海脅迫
美國總統拜登今天當面向中國國家主席習近平表示，若協助俄羅斯將面臨後果。拜登也表達對北京在台海脅迫與挑釁行為的擔憂。不過，對於習近平是否承諾不會援助俄羅斯，美方官員則不願答覆。
拜登今天上午與習近平舉行長達1小時50分鐘的視訊對話，這是俄羅斯軍事入侵烏克蘭以來，兩人首度討論俄烏局勢，也是去年11月以來第一次。
根據白宮提供的通話紀要，拜登概述美國與盟邦和合作夥伴對這場危機的看法，詳述為防止和應對這場入侵所做的努力，包括讓俄羅斯付出代價。
拜登並當面向中方發出警告，若俄羅斯對烏克蘭城市與平民進行野蠻襲擊時，向俄羅斯提供物資支持，中方將面臨的影響與後果，但拜登也強調支持以外交方式解決危機。
在問及拜登是否有要求習近平公開譴責俄羅斯行為時，美方資深官員在電話背景簡報指出，拜登並未在今天的對話中向中國提出具體要求，而是讓習近平瞭解情況，闡述現況與觀點以及各項行動，拜登的闡述「坦率且直接」，也認為透過外交途徑解決危機是必要的。
至於中方是否承諾不會援助俄羅斯，這名資深官員未正面回應，僅表示「中方會做出自己的決定」，並要媒體參考中方發出的對話紀要。
在談到台灣議題時，拜登向習近平重申，美國對台政策不變，強調美國持續反對任何片面改變台海現狀的立場。
這名官員表示，拜登重申美方基於台灣關係法、美中三公報與對台六項保證的一個中國政策。但拜登也表達對北京在台海脅迫與挑釁行為的擔憂，他明確表明美方反對任何片面改變台海現況的行為。
這名官員強調，拜登政府一貫展現對台灣堅若磐石的支持，也會持續這麼做。
美中兩位領袖也同意保持開放的溝通渠道，以管理兩國競爭的重要性，並責成雙方團隊未來在關鍵時期跟進今天的對話。

拜習視訊兩小時
拜登尋求習近平對俄施壓
https://money.udn.com/money/story/12926/6175721?from=edn_referralnews_story_ch5588
美國總統拜登18日與中國大陸國家主席習近平舉行視訊會議，為兩人自去年11月以來首度對談，兩人在對談將近兩小時後，美方在截稿前都還沒發布聲明，但彭博資訊指出，拜登尋求習近平運用中國大陸的影響力，施壓俄羅斯結束烏克蘭戰爭。大陸央視報導，習近平表示，衝突對抗不符合任何人的利益，國家關係不能走到兵戎相向這一步，烏克蘭危機「是我們不願意看到的」，美中都須承擔國際責任，為世界和平努力。(延伸閱讀:路透：拜習通話前數小時 大陸最新航艦通過台灣海峽)
這場視訊會議在台北時間18日晚間9時3分開始，於台北時間10時52分結束，是拜登與習近平自2月24日俄國侵烏以來首度通話，白宮新聞祕書莎琪形容，這是「拜登總統評估習近平主席立場的一次機會」。
美方在截稿前都尚未發布聲明。大陸央視報導，習近平指出，去年11月首次與拜登雲會晤以來，國際形勢發生了新的重大變化。和平與發展的時代主題面臨嚴峻挑戰，世界既不太平也不安寧，「烏克蘭危機是我們不願意看到的」。他再次表明，國家關係不能走到兵戎相向這一步，衝突對抗不符合任何人的利益，和平安全才是國際社會最應珍惜的財富。
此前，美國國務卿布林肯17日說，「拜登總統...將明確表示，中國將為任何支持俄羅斯的侵略行為負起責任，我們將毫不猶豫地讓中國付出代價」。副國務卿雪蔓18日也說，若中方提供俄國軍事或金融援助，「我們準備對中國施加代價」。
布林肯說，「我們關切他們正考慮直接援助俄羅斯軍事裝備，在烏克蘭使用」。美國官員本周曾透露，相信中方已暗示願意提供軍事支持給俄國，這番談話是美國首次正式證實此事，但布林肯未詳細說明中國大陸可能付出的代價。中國大陸是全球第二大經濟體，若遭西方國家施以廣泛的經濟制裁，將對美國及全球經濟造成嚴重後果。
俄國否認向中國大陸要求軍事援助，中國大陸外交部也稱這種想法「純屬虛構」。中方至今都未譴責俄國入侵之舉。

美中通話 / 習近平告訴拜登
未妥善處理台灣問題
恐傷中美關係
中國媒體報導，中國國家主席習近平18日與美國總統拜登視訊會議時指出，台灣問題需妥善處理，避免對中美關係造成負面影響。
中國指出，台灣是中美關係最敏感且重要的議題。俄羅斯2月24日入侵烏克蘭後，美國正尋求北京協助恢復烏克蘭和平。
習近平在視訊會議中告訴拜登，目前，中美關係還沒有走出美國上一屆政府製造的困境，反而遭遇愈來愈多的挑戰。特別是美國一些人向「台獨」勢力發出錯誤訊號，這是十分危險的。
他說，台灣問題如果處理不好，將會對兩國關係造成顛覆性影響。希望美方予以足夠重視。中美關係之所以出現目前的局面，直接原因是，美方一些人沒有落實我們兩人達成的重要共識，也沒有把拜登總統的表態真正落到實處。美方對中方的戰略意圖作出了錯誤判讀。
拜習通話前，共軍航空母艦山東號穿越台灣海峽。中國外交部趙立堅表示，山東艦有例行的訓練安排。「不應該把這個事情跟中美元首的溝通聯繫在一起」。(？)
此外，習近平告訴拜登，烏克蘭戰爭必須盡快結束。他說，所有各方應共同支持俄烏對話，美國和北大西洋公約組織（NATO）也應與俄羅斯對話以化解烏克蘭危機「難題」。
