【环球时报驻美国特约记者 冯亚仁】"现任美国政府所说的21万亿美元对美投资热潮实际上不足数万亿 美元。"彭博经济研究在对白宫官方公布的各类项目进行分析之后得出结论。该机构称，实际的投资情 况远比目标要小得多。 对于类似质疑，白宫方面也有回应。彭博社援引白宫发言人库什·德赛的话表示："目前的交易已经确保 了数万亿美元的在美制造和就业，为美国公司带来了数万亿美元的商业机会，以及数万亿美元的新出口 机会。" 白宫方面曾多次表示，各国政府与企业将在年底前承诺高达21万亿美元的对美投资。这一数字相当于美 国年度经济产出的七成。美媒称，随着数据的逐项核实，这股"投资热潮"的相关情况逐渐显露出来。 报道称，最早给出官方数字的是白宫。其相关页面上显示，自新总统上任以来，"美国及外国投资总 额"为9.6万亿美元。彭博经济研究对清单上137个项目逐一审视，发现这9.6万亿美元中有7万亿美元可被 视为真正投资。 据财经咨询网站GuruFocus25日报道，这场"投资热潮"的核心，来自拜登时期开始扩张、并在之后进一 步加速的人工智能产业。与AI相关的2.9万亿美元，主要来自苹果、Meta、英伟达等科技企业以及价值 5000亿美元的" ...
