歐洲金屬協會警告中國零組件製造商透過低成本供應深度嵌入歐洲供應鏈,導致歐洲製造業面臨競爭壓力與潛在大規模失業。中國對歐盟貿易順差達每日10億歐元,歐洲製造商承受鋼鐵進口關稅與碳排放稅等成本負擔。
歐洲權威產業公會警告,除非布魯塞爾當局出手阻止中國零組件製造商對歐洲工業的「殖民化」,否則歐盟製造業的失業人數將急遽攀升。
英國「衛報」6日報導,歐洲金屬協會(Eurometal)預測,由於來自中國的競爭不斷擴大,2026年剩餘時間內,歐盟製造業恐面臨高達30萬個工作機會流失。目前,中國對歐盟的貿易順差已達到創紀錄的每天10億歐元。

為了向布魯塞爾的決策者表達強烈擔憂,歐洲金屬協會7日在歐盟執委會總部外發起抗議遊行。產業界人士將抬出10具象徵性的棺材,上面印有「歐盟競爭力」、「工業就業機會」以及「歐洲工廠」等字樣。歐洲製造商擔憂,歐盟執委會未能充分意識到,隨著中國透過銷售零組件深深嵌入歐洲供應鏈,歐洲本土工業正遭到嚴重蠶食。
歐洲金屬協會主席朱利葉斯(Alexander Julius)受訪時直言,中國毫不掩飾其戰略企圖,這早已寫入他們的5年規劃中。他強調,中國已不滿足於僅作為原物料供應國,而是渴望成為關鍵產品供應商,因為他們深知,一旦控制供應鏈,便可掌握完整的價值鏈。
他呼籲歐盟執委會必須全面了解中國出口在零組件層級的破壞力,包括佔整體製造業9成用量的金屬與化學品。朱利葉斯將此現象比喻為「病毒」,批評政界與媒體雖看見德國等地不斷攀升的失業率,卻未針對導致企業倒閉或外流至中國與印度的「病毒根源」對症下藥。
導致這股「病毒」蔓延的環境因素,在於歐洲金屬製造商承受日益沉重的成本,包括鋼鐵進口關稅,以及針對高耗能產業徵收的碳排放稅。相較之下,中國製造的零組件不僅免除這些稅負,再加上人民幣匯率被低估,使得歐洲企業難以與中國對手競爭。
然而,朱利葉斯無奈表示,為了向股東交代,無論布魯塞爾發表何種政治言論,企業仍會繼續向中國採購。
歐洲金屬協會在抗議前發表聲明警告,當製造業離開歐洲,歐洲失去的不僅是產能,更是投資、專業技術與長期的經濟韌性。
歐盟執委會曾在今年6月預測,在全球競爭與高昂能源成本的雙重打擊下,潛在的失業人數恐超過100萬人,其中便包括德國車廠福斯(Volkswagen)日前證實的10萬人裁員計畫。為因應危機,歐盟已於2024年對中國進口電動車加徵關稅,並在今年6月針對外國鋼鐵實施更高的進口關稅。
歐盟貿易事務專員塞夫柯維奇(Maroš Šefčovič)坦言,歐盟與中國每年高達3600億歐元的進出口失衡是「不可永續的」。
為避免爆發全面貿易戰,歐盟與中國已達成三個月的「休戰」協議,雙方將進行談判直至今年10月。然而,中國官方多次指控歐洲大搞保護主義,根據中國官媒新華社今年稍早的報導,北京當局威脅,若歐盟進一步針對中國企業或產品採取行動,中方將採取堅決的反制措施。

As the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday approaches, many domestic airlines have launched paid customized in-flight meals, ranging from claypot rice to caviar platters to enrich in-flight dining options. Passengers generally accept the paid option, but are worried that the quality of free meals may be reduced in disguise. Airlines claim that paid meals can reduce waste and accurately match preferences. Experts emphasize that additions rather than subtractions must be made to the original basis to protect consumers' rights to know and fair trade.

The 10-year treasury bond yields of the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries have recently hit multi-year highs, reflecting that the global bond market is under greater selling pressure. Uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's policy is a direct factor. At the same time, technology giants are issuing bonds and competing for new debt from the U.S. Treasury Department for funds. Japan's withdrawal from negative interest rates has led to the return of funds. Analysts believe that short-term fluctuations may continue, but the impact on China's bond market will be limited.
