[2025-04-08]Youtube评论区：特朗普的新关税 - 你还能买得起中国商品吗？

@pinotnoir3654
If these machines are affordable for you even with tariffs, imagine how much of a game changed they are for the developing world. You gotta give credit to China for making things - from household gadgets to phones to heavy equipment - accessible to the whole world. Farmers in other countries are reaping huge rewards now. - UP: 1470

如果这些机器即使加上关税对你来说仍然是负担得起的，想象一下它们对发展中国家会有多大的改变。不得不赞扬中国，从家用电器到手机再到重型设备等，它让一切都变得全球可及了。其他国家的农民现在正从中获得巨大收益。

Very true. If I had a landscaping or tree business, this would make me so much money. - UP: 162

（博主）确实如此。如果我做园林绿化或树木相关的生意，这会让我赚很多钱。

@cheungchingtong
Yes, indeed. Many ppl live in developed countries have no idea of what Made-in-China is actually about. Having bad quality of Chinese made product at relative high price has nothing to do with the Chinese manufacturers, but the importers of your own countries, the Chinese side only make whatever the orders order.
As for many others who live in the global south, some Made-in-China products with less function and durability but at significant much lower prices are actually more needed, ppl in the West don't understand, ppl in poorer countries need no $100 kettle that could use for a decade, they need an $8 one that could helps them pass by for two or three years. - UP: 107

的确，许多生活在发达国家的人对中国制造的真正含义没有概念。中国制造的产品质量差且价格偏高，这与中国制造商无关，而是你们国家的进口商的问题。中国方面只是按照订单生产产品。
对于许多生活在全球南方的人来说，一些功能较少且耐用性较差但价格低得多的中国制造产品更符合他们的需求。西方国家的人可能不理解，贫穷国家的人们不需要能用十年的100美元水壶，他们需要的是能用两三年的8美元水壶。

You're paying that much for American made because the CEO's need their bonus at the end of the year, and they still make it in China. - UP: 9779

Truth! - UP: 621

（博主）真相！

@Mike-01234
Lot of it is the mindset of American corporations where the goal is not to sell high quality at a reasonable price, but to focus on shareholder returns. This is why CEO's make 50 million a year and the top shareholders also make the same. Chinese business they don't focus on shareholder return they focus on providing a product that is reasonably priced they are filling in the market left behind by American corporations. Eventually China will get good enough that larger companies will start using their product these greedy CEO's will lose market share. - UP: 144

很多美国公司的经营理念不是以合理的价格销售高质量产品，而是专注于股东回报。这就是为什么CEO年薪5000万美元，大股东也能赚这么多。中国企业不关注股东回报，他们专注于提供价格合理的产品，填补了美国公司留下的市场空白。最终，中国企业的产品会变得足够好，大公司也会开始使用他们的产品，这些贪婪的CEO将失去市场份额。

1 day I was looking for a VSV sensor for my 2001 Toyota Camry.
I'd found Autozone sold for $55 or more; Ebay solid for $25 or more; Toyota dealers sold for $175 or more; and O'Reilly sold for $85 or more.
What I found out they ALL had in common was the part number and the VSV sensor was made (manufactured) in China BUT SOLD IN "DIFFERENT PRICES" and that's RIDICULOUS, PATHETIC and totally, ABSOLUTELY ABSURD! - UP: 24

有一天我在找2001年款丰田凯美瑞的VSV传感器，发现Autozone卖55美元以上，Ebay卖25美元以上，丰田经销商卖175美元以上，而O'Reilly卖85美元以上。我发现它们都有一个共同点，就是传感器的部件号和生产地都是中国，但价格却各不相同，这实在是太荒唐可悲了，完全的荒唐！

@craighudson4382
Also of note, it is NOT the Chinese companies or Chinese government paying the tariffs , that extra cost is handed right to the consumer. It is essentially a new tax the government has imposed on its people. - UP: 511

值得注意的是，关税并不是由中国公司或中国政府支付的，这些额外成本实际上转嫁给了消费者。这本质上是政府对其人民征收的一种新税。

@zjeee
It directly affects them as they will sell less units because they will be outcompeted by emerging markets. Vietnam and India have already gobbled up a lot of factories moving out lf China. In the end people buy goods because they are cheap not because they are made in China. There will always be cheap alternatives just give it a year or two and you will see these machines being made in other countries for low prices. - UP: 13

这直接影响到他们，因为他们的产品销量会减少，原因是新兴市场的竞争。越南和印度已经吸引了许多从中国迁出的工厂。最终，人们购买商品是因为价格便宜，而不是因为它们产自中国。总会有便宜的替代品，再过一两年，你会看到这些机器在其他国家以低价生产。

​ @zjeee why do we care if things are made in China or India? Who cares? - UP: 11

为什么我们要在意东西是中国制造还是印度制造？谁在乎呢？

@mamotalemankoe3775
Another massive thing is China's entire supply chain and manufacturing system is purpose built to export stuff like this as cheaply and quickly as possible.
They have the most manufacturing capacity of any nation by a large margin and that inherently reduces costs far beyond what cheap labour can do.
Indian semi-skilled labour is far far FAR cheaper than Chinese semi-skilled labour but India can't touch China because it lacks the industrial manufacturing capacity that too years of National and provincial planning to get working as a well as it is. But, the cheap labour certainly helps too. - UP: 126

另一个重要因素是，中国的整个供应链和制造系统是专门为尽可能低成本和快速地出口这类产品而设计的。它的制造能力远超其他国家，这自然降低了成本，不仅仅是因为廉价劳动力。印度的半熟练工人比中国便宜得多，但由于缺乏经过多年国家和省级规划打造的工业制造能力，印度无法与中国竞争。不过，廉价劳动力当然也是一个优势。

It’s not improved big time,it’s what you paid willingly with a positive outcome.for adidas brands shoes instant,exact same shoe manufacturers with identical production better quality lower budget =chinese brand such as Anta,Tebow,Peak. It’s apply to majors manufacturers from utensil to heavy machinery and hi-tech gadgets,American Brands rolled up the costs of the supply-demand transactions. Hey a decent EV in China cost about 4 months average car leasing budgets in USA.thats how capitalism works. - UP: 11

这并不是有很大改进，而是你愿意花钱的积极结果。以阿迪达斯鞋为例，完全相同的生产商可以以更低的预算生产出更好的质量，比如中国品牌安踏、特步、匹克等。这种情况适用于从日用品到重型机械和高科技产品的主要制造商，美国品牌增加了供需交易的成本。在中国，一辆不错的电动汽车只需美国平均4个月的汽车租赁预算，这就是资本主义的运作方式。

@grandwonder5858
I used to deliver auto parts to auto shops across my city as a part time job that I did and what I discovered is the fact that all of the auto parts are made in China! So for those hypocrites that talk about “Dude, you should only buy American-made products!” they should strip all of the parts in their “American cars” because they are made in China as well! Shoot, I suggest people go to an auto parts store and ask for a part that is made in the USA the next time they need a replacement part for their car or truck! Anyway, I find that nowadays American-made is often actually lower in quality than made in China so why should I spend 5 times more for something that could be lower in quality! - UP: 62

我曾经兼职为市里的汽车修理店运送汽车零件，结果发现所有零件都是中国制造的！所以，那些说“你应该只买美国制造产品”的伪君子们，应该把他们“美国车”上的零件拆下来，因为这些零件也是中国制造的！我建议大家下次需要更换汽车零件时，去汽配店问问有没有美国制造的零件！而且，我发现现在很多美国制造的产品质量还不如中国制造的，那我为什么要花五倍的价钱买质量可能更差的东西呢！

I've bought guitars from China. Catch the same grief. I don't see them as "counterfeits" because anyone with half a brain can tell it's not a real Gibson. It's a replica. It's not taking money out of Gibson's pockets because in 40 years of playing, I've never justified spending thousands on a guitar. They weren't getting my money anyway. I'm also not going to use a $6000 guitar to play at a bar where I make $100. But, the guitars look good in pictures, play well with a little work and cost about 5% of what a real Les Paul costs. Anyway, love ya Bud! Keep doing what ya do! - UP: 996

我从中国买吉他也有过类似的批评。我不认为它们是“假货”，因为任何有点脑子的都能看出这不是正版Gibson。这是个仿制品，它并没有从Gibson手中抢走钱，因为在40年的演奏生涯中，我从未觉得花数千美元买吉他是合理的。他们本来也拿不到我的钱。而且，我不会用一把6000美元的吉他去酒吧演奏来赚个100美元。但这些吉他在照片上看着不错，稍微调整一下也能弹得很好，价格只是真正的Les Paul的5%左右。不管怎样，支持你！继续做你在做的事吧！

My view on this has always been Americans want fair and low pricing on things that just work for their needs without constantly breaking down. American companies refuse to supply the market so the Chinese companies come in and do it. It's simple supply and demand. - UP: 213

We've only ourselves to blame. American companies, especially unionized companies are never going to produce a product inexpensively. The Chinese were smart of ypu really look at things. They saw a way to sell products that they knew America could never produce, and the Chinese have flooded the market with these cheap machines. I certainly don't feel bad having bought a Chinese mini excavator. Had a US company produced one cheap, Idve bought one. Problem is, ypu will never see an American company do this. - UP: 25

这是我们自己的错。美国公司，特别是那些有工会的公司，永远不可能生产出便宜的产品。中国人在这方面很聪明，他们找到了销售美国无法生产的产品的方法，并用这些便宜的机器充满市场。我买了一台中国的小型挖掘机，一点也没觉得哪里不好。如果有美国公司生产出便宜的小型挖掘机，我会买。但问题是，美国公司永远不会这样做。

As an Australian the second American's slap tarrifs on us we are going to struggle calling them allies.

美国需要多进口澳大利亚的商品以纠正他们造成的贸易逆差，否则也许我们应该站中国人一边，至少我们可以选择谁来操我们。

@Itzskimpy
We've been told capitalism is amazing, it's the only way, it creates competition, free market etc. You can't push this on a society and then complain when they take part in capitalism, which is all about putting in the least amount of money and getting the most amount back. It does not matter if it's from a communist country or not. Consumers are going to look for the most affordable, good quality product. They're not thinking about the politics of a region. People can't afford to spend more. And these tariffs just mean american brands that use chinese parts are gonna increase their prices too. These people complaining either think they're gonna be billionaires and only want the rich to benefit from capitalism or they're genuinely just braindead - UP: 38

我们一直被告知资本主义很好，是唯一的选择，它促进竞争和自由市场。你不能把这个观念推给社会，然后在他们参与资本主义时抱怨，因为资本主义的核心就是投入最少的钱获得最多的回报。无论产品来自哪个国家，消费者都会寻找价格实惠且质量好的产品，他们不会考虑地区的政治因素。人们负担不起更高的花费。这些关税只会导致使用中国零件的美国品牌也提高价格。那些抱怨的人要么是幻想自己会成为亿万富翁，只希望富人从资本主义中受益，要么就是真的没脑子。

One thing I’ve noticed since China took over the lion’s share of global manufacturing is that house prices in developed nations have shot up drastically.
I believe the real estate market did this in response to developed countries buying cheaper goods and saving a lot more which has lead to heavy speculation and investing in real estate. - UP: 26

自从中国在全球制造业中占据主要份额以来，我注意到发达国家的房价大幅上涨。我认为，房地产市场之所以这样，是因为发达国家购买了更便宜的商品，储蓄增多，这导致了对房地产的大量投机和投资。

@NJ-wb1cz
"Expensive" is relative to the amount of money you have. If someone pays you good money for your work, then things become less expensive for you. But if they instead order from China instead of paying you, you have less money and things are more expensive for you, so you have to order from China as well, so someone else doesn't get your money and becomes poorer and starts ordering from China as well, etc.
Where do you think this leads? - UP: 3

“贵”是相对的，取决于你的经济状况。如果有人为你的工作支付丰厚的报酬，那么对你来说东西就不那么贵了。但如果他们选择从中国订购而不是付钱给你，你的收入就会减少，东西对你来说也就更贵了，所以你也不得不从中国订购。这样一来，其他人也拿不到你的钱，变得更穷，然后也开始从中国订购，如此循环。你觉得这会导致什么后果呢？

@D.von.N
Before we got greedy and moved most of our manufacture to the poor world, we had it expensive. And of a high quality. And what is more important: we had JOBS. People earned proper salaries for their work, had some stability, often one income was enough for the whole family. That before Reagan slashed taxes for the rich and the state finances started to crumble, little by little. We didn't have tons of plastic nonsense that eats into our finances, we had a fewer things that lasted and were of a higher quality, made by our neighbours who got a proper pay. We could look into each other's eyes, not undercutting local businesses by buying cheaper from China, which is often state subsidised, aiming to bring our own economy down this way. Looks like China is succeeding. - UP: 10

在我们变得贪婪并将大部分制造业转移到贫穷国家之前，我们产品的价格很高，但质量上乘。而且更重要的是：我们有工作。人们通过工作赚取合理的薪水，生活相对稳定，通常一个人的收入就能养活整个家庭。这一切发生在里根削减富人税收之前，那时国家财政开始逐渐崩溃。那时候我们没有大量消耗我们财务的塑料垃圾，而是拥有较少但质量更高的东西，这些东西由获得合理报酬的邻居制造。我们可以坦诚相见，而不是通过购买便宜的中国商品来削弱本地企业，因为这些商品通常受到国家补贴，旨在削弱我们的经济。看起来中国正在成功。

 @D.von.N  it was only a matter of time regardless.
Let's say you didn't move your factories. Then your products would simply fail to compete and those companies would require bailouts or they would go broke. And you can't keep bailing out most companies all the time. Look at the car companies - they require 100% tariffs, and even with that tariff the native cars are both more expensive and worse.
The fundamental problem here is, that post 1940s way of life was simply unsustainable and massively unequal. Even today your way of life is unsustainable. If everyone had the same way of life the US citizens have, we would require 7 Earths to deal with the pollution and waste and greenhouse gases.
You simply have to consume less, and move on from having a consumption based economy. We don't actually need most of the crap around ourselves to be happy and fulfilled. Most of it is something the ads convinced us we have to have to distract us from ourselves - UP: 9

假设你没有把工厂搬走，那么你的产品就无法竞争，这些公司就会需要救助，否则就会破产。而且你不能一直救助大多数公司。看看汽车公司——它们要求100%的关税，即便有了关税，本土汽车依然更贵且质量更差。根本问题在于，二战后的生活方式本身就不可持续且极不平等。即使是今天，你们的生活方式也是不可持续的。如果每个人都过上美国公民的生活方式，我们需要7个地球来解决污染、浪费和温室气体的问题。
你们只需减少消费，转向非消费型经济。我们实际上不需要大多数物品来获得幸福和满足，这些大多是广告让我们误以为必须拥有的，用来分散我们的注意力。

@ang-en2ki
Just to be clear, I am Chinese. I want to tell you about buying cars in China. You may see what is the deal with tariffs. The Chinese government used to have a 25% tarriff on imported cars, aiming to protect the local car brands and give them a chance to compete with the foreign brands. What really happened was the local brands got so complacent and the market was still dominated by foreign car brands, but those cars were sold at a delicious profit, way higher than you could get in the US or Europe or Japan. For a long time, most Chinese refused to buy the Chinese brands because their products were inferior, but they have to pay a lot more to get the most mundane foreign car. They are the ones paying for the tariffs!!
Now the same thing will happen in the US. Raising tariff won't make the local brands work hard to make the products cheaper and win through competition but only will give them good reason to stay put and raise their prices. Why? Because it's the most natural thing to do if you are protected! If you are already protected by the tariffs, why should you work harder? Why change? - UP: 383

我要说明一下，我是中国人。我想告诉你们一些关于在中国买车的情况。你们可能会关注关税的问题。中国政府曾经对进口汽车征收25%的关税，目的是保护本土汽车品牌，让它们有机会与外国品牌竞争。但实际情况是，本土品牌变得自满，市场仍然被外国品牌主导，而这些外国车的利润远高于在美国、欧洲或日本的利润。很长一段时间，大多数中国人不愿购买本土品牌的汽车，因为它们的质量很差，但要买最普通的外国车却需要花费高昂的价格。他们才是为关税买单的人！
现在，美国也将出现类似情况。提高关税不会促使本土品牌努力降低成本，通过竞争获胜，反而只会让它们有理由原地不动并抬高价格。为什么？因为一旦受到关税保护，企业就没有动力去努力改进产品。既然已经有了关税保护，为什么还要更努力呢？为什么还要改变呢？

@Theanimeisforme
But your industries did grow in size thanks to said tariffs and subsidies. The issue is with current trade capacities, labor costs, and tooling expenses, the US companies are in a pickle of either being completely annihilated expense wise or barely competing in the market. Tariffs usually only bring parity so that the company can atleast sell at some form of profit to grow. And growth isn't instant. This is also ignoring over regulation and consumer demands. - UP: 7

但由于关税和补贴，你们的产业确实在规模上有所增长。问题在于，面对当前的贸易能力、劳动力成本和设备费用，美国公司面临要么在成本上完全被压垮，要么在市场上勉强竞争的困境。关税通常只是为了让公司至少能以某种形式盈利，从而实现增长。而且，增长不是立竿见影的。此外，这还不考虑过度监管和消费者需求的问题。

@ang-en2ki
@Theanimeisforme Actually you are correct. And the situation was a bit more trickier than it seemed. By the policies put in place back then, the foreign car brands were not allowed to have wholly-own factories and brand operations in China. But they could form joint-companies in China with the local brands. Most of the cars produced in China and sold on the market back then was using the foreign brands. By doing so the foreign brands could escape the tariffs and the local brands could share a portion of the juicy profit, which really did not help the development of China's own ICE cars. It's only after the advent of new EVs, everything started to change. If you check out the prices of ICE cars of foreign brands in China, they are much lower today than say 5, 10 years ago. All of this is because of competition by the EVs.
My view is the tarriffs didn't help the local brands, the policies like the joint-company one helped a little but for many years, the local car brands were satisfied with the profits they got from the joint-companies and didn't do much to improve their own products. It is the new Chinese EV brands like BYD, LI, Xpeng and Seeker etc. that brough competition to the car market, and Chinese people can now enjoy cars with low prices and fairly good quality. - UP: 8

其实你说得对，情况比表面上看起来更复杂。根据当时的政策，外国汽车品牌不能在中国拥有全资工厂和品牌运营，但可以与本地品牌成立合资公司。当时中国市场上销售的大部分汽车都使用外国品牌。通过这种方式，外国品牌可以避开关税，本地品牌则可以分得一部分利润，但这并没有真正促进中国自主内燃机汽车的发展。直到新型电动汽车的出现，情况才开始改变。如果你查看外国品牌内燃机汽车在中国的价格，会发现比5、10年前低了很多，这都是因为电动汽车的竞争。
我认为关税对本地品牌没有帮助，合资政策起到了一定作用，但多年来，本地汽车品牌满足于合资公司的利润，没有在改善自身产品上投入太多。是像比亚迪、理想、小鹏等新兴中国电动汽车品牌为汽车市场带来了竞争，现在中国人可以享受到价格低廉且质量不错的汽车。

Manufacturing industry in china is at a colossal scale. My father in law is owner of a adhesive manufacturing company. He visits china every 3-4 years and not only the factories are the biggest in the world but, you incorrectly assumed, theres barely anyone working due to automation. He visited a factory that produces 1/4 of all adhesive paper used in the world. Let me repeat: a single factory that produces 1/4 of something used in the whole world. There were 20 people working on it. Americans, or any country for that matter, can't produce a large scale like china. What other countries can do is sourcing material to produce custom orders at lower scale. American machines are mode expensive cause the cost of production is way more expensive due to scale of production, labor laws and automation. Labor laws should be tightened to avoid abuse but at the same time the Chinese government provide tons of service to their population which isnt present in us. - UP: 11

中国的制造业规模巨大。我岳父有一家粘合剂制造公司，他每隔3到4年就会去中国。他发现这些工厂不仅是世界上最大的，而且由于自动化的原因，几乎没有人工作。他参观了一家生产全球四分之一粘合纸的工厂。让我再说一遍：这是一家生产全球四分之一某种产品的工厂，只有20名工人在那里工作。
美国或任何其他国家不可能实现像中国这样的大规模生产，其他国家可以做的是采购材料，以较小的规模进行定制生产。由于生产规模、劳动法和自动化的原因，美国的机器成本更高。虽然劳动法应该加强以避免滥用，但同时中国政府为其人民提供了许多在美国并没有的服务。
