美國運輸部長達菲曾公開批評福特與中國企業的合作關係,此為共和黨國會議員跟進批判的延伸,發生在美中元首會前夕及美國國會推動限制中國製造汽車進口的背景下。

〔國際新聞中心/綜合報導〕美國共和黨國會議員9日加入對福特汽車(Ford Motor)與中國企業商業往來的批評。此前,美國運輸部長達菲(Sean Duffy)已公開抨擊這家美國第二大汽車製造商與中國企業的合作關係。
路透報導,共和黨聯邦參議員史考特(Rick Scott)稱讚達菲「對福特與中國共產黨企業的高風險關係敲響警鐘」。眾議院「美中戰略競爭特別委員會」則在社群平台X發布福特的說法,及媒體對其與中國企業交易的報導,並以「這就是福特所說的,以及它實際做的」為題提出質疑。

達菲8日致函福特執行長法利(Jim Farley),表示福特與中國電池製造商寧德時代(CATL),以及中國汽車製造商吉利(Geely)與比亞迪(BYD)的商業往來,「令人深感憂慮」。他敦促福特切斷與中國大型企業的合作。達菲尤其對福特在密西根州馬歇爾(Marshall)廠採用寧德時代授權技術深感警戒,並指出寧德時代已被列入五角大廈涉及與中國軍方關係企業的名單。
達菲同時批評,福特決定直到2030年才將林肯Nautilus車款的生產,從中國移回美國,意味著未來數年仍將依賴中國製造。共和黨眾議員、美中競爭特委會主席穆勒納爾(John Moolenaar)也支持達菲,批評福特「日益依賴中國企業,包括寧德時代與吉利」,並表示福特「應與美國盟友合作,而非與對手合作」。
福特9日尚未回應,但該公司8日表示,達菲的信函是「為搏版面而做出的錯誤之舉」。福特強調,該公司正在美國投資興建電池廠;這座工廠由福特擁有、由福特掌控營運,員工也由福特聘用。
達菲提出前述批評之際,美國總統川普預定本月底與中國國家主席習近平會晤,美國國會也正推動收緊禁止中國製造汽車進入美國的措施。路透指出,達菲這封信是美中元首會面前,美方近期對中國發出的最新警告。美國官員8日才指控中國人工智慧(AI)公司從事「具侵略性的工業規模蒸餾活動」。
福特股價9日午盤下跌約2%。美國主要汽車製造商上週敦促國會在年底前通過相關禁令。中國駐美大使館則回應表示,中美企業間的正常商業合作不應被政治化,並敦促美方尊重市場經濟法則與公平競爭原則。

China's electric vehicle adoption rate reached a record 65.2% of the 1.54 million cars sold last month, up from 65.1% the previous month, driven by consumer confidence in EV benefits and rising fuel costs linked to the Iran war, according to CPCA data and dealer Zhao Zhen.

U.S. prosecutors accused Huawei in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, of conspiring to steal trade secrets from five U.S. companies, including Cisco network router source code and T-Mobile robotic arm technology, in order to gain an unfair competitive advantage and expand its global telecommunications business. Huawei defends itself by saying its success comes from competition and innovation, not criminal conduct.

The Business Research Institute and the Czech Small and Medium Enterprises Association signed a letter of intent for cooperation in Prague, aiming to promote cooperation between Taiwan and the Czech Republic in forward-looking industries such as drones, medical care, and semiconductors. The two parties will use their complementary advantages to assist Taiwanese manufacturers in deploying the European market using the Czech Republic as a hub, and guide Czech companies to deepen their exploration into Taiwan and Asian markets.

Xie Jinhe, chairman of Caixin Media, pointed out that this year there are three companies in Taiwan whose stock prices have exceeded 10,000 yuan, two of which are from Kaohsiung, namely ABF carrier plate vacuum molding machines produced by Yingwei, Wanrun and Changguang. He pointed out that the AI transformation policy spearheaded by Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai has attracted major semiconductor companies such as TSMC and ASE to drive industrial upgrading. At the same time, he warned that most companies that have been deeply involved in the Chinese market in the past have struggled. Taiwan's investment in China has dropped from 96.4% in 2012 to 0.74% in the first quarter of this year. Funds are rapidly moving out of China. If local leaders and companies are still obsessed with the "Chinese Dream," the economic trough may last for a long time.
