苹果的主要供应商和其他十几个科技巨头计划在中国市场和美国市场之间分割供应链,并且认为由于贸易战,“中国作为世界工厂”的时代已经结束。
Hon Hai Precision Industry Chairman Young Liu said it’s gradually adding morecapacity outside of China, the main base of production for gadgets from iPhonesto Dell desktops and Nintendo Switches.
The proportion outside the country is now at 30 percent, up from 25 percentlast June.That ratio will rise as the company -- known also as Foxconn -- movesmore manufacturing to Southeast Asia and other regions to avoid escalatingtariffs on Chinese-made goods headed to US markets, Liu told reporters afterhis company reported financial results.
“No matter if it’s India, Southeast Asia or the Americas, there will be amanufacturing ecosystem in each,” Liu said, adding that while China will stillplay a key role in Foxconn’s manufacturing empire, the country’s “days as the world’s factory are done.”
刘扬伟说:“无论是印度,东南亚还是美洲,每个国家都有自己的制造业生态系统。尽管中国仍将在富士康的制造业帝国中发挥关键作用,但其作为世界工厂的时代已经结束。”
Intensifying trade tensions between Washington and Beijing have pusheddevice manufacturers to diversify their production bases away from China, andLiu last year said that Apple’s most prized product, the iPhone,can be made outside China if needed.
华盛顿和北京之间日益加剧的贸易紧张局势迫使设备制造商将生产基地分散到了中国以外的地区。刘扬伟去年曾表示,如果需要,苹果最有价值的产品iPhone可以在中国以外生产。
The two nations remain in trade talks, but Liu’s comments affirm a growingexpectation that the China-centric electronics supply chain willfragment over the longer term. (Bloomberg)
