特朗普“关税大棒”为何此时挥向苹果?
是说芯语· 2025-05-23 12:12
申请入围"中国IC独角兽" 从经济角度分析,特朗普政府一直对美国庞大的贸易逆差耿耿于怀。苹果产品的大量进口,无疑在贸易 逆差的天平上增加了砝码。征收关税看似是减少贸易逆差的"捷径",既能提升进口成本,促使消费者转 向本土产品,又能增加政府财政收入。 苹果若真面临25%的关税,首当其冲的便是成本剧增。长期以来,苹果构建了全球化的供应链体系,从 芯片制造到组装环节,广泛分布于世界各地,印度、中国等国家承担了重要角色。以iPhone为例,在中 国、印度等地的低成本组装,有力地控制了整体生产成本。一旦关税落地,进口至美国的每一部iPhone 成本都将大幅攀升。 为应对成本压力,苹果可能采取提价策略,但这无疑将削弱产品在美国市场的价格竞争力。美国消费者 对电子产品价格敏感度颇高,竞争对手三星等或许正虎视眈眈,准备趁苹果提价抢占市场份额。此前特 朗普针对汽车等行业的关税举措,已引发相关产品价格上涨,消费者叫苦不迭。若iPhone价格飙升,极 有可能引发消费者抵制情绪,冲击苹果的销量与营收。 苹果也可考虑将生产全面回迁美国,但这一过程绝非易事。美国劳动力成本远高于亚洲国家,且相关产 业配套并不完善,短期内组建起成熟高效的供 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent decision by the FCC to prohibit Chinese laboratories deemed a national security risk from testing electronic products intended for the U.S. market, highlighting the escalating tech competition between the U.S. and China [2][6]. Group 1: FCC Decision and Implications - The FCC unanimously passed a rule banning Chinese laboratories identified as national security risks from testing electronic products for the U.S. market, affecting devices like smartphones and cameras [2][4]. - Approximately 75% of electronic products sold in the U.S. are tested in Chinese laboratories, many of which have deep ties to state-owned enterprises or the military [3][4]. - The FCC has created a blacklist that includes entities associated with the U.S. Department of Defense and the Commerce Department, which will lead to the immediate revocation of certification for implicated laboratories [4][5]. Group 2: Impact on Chinese Companies - The ban will significantly impact Chinese companies, particularly those in telecommunications like Huawei and ZTE, as their product development and testing heavily rely on domestic laboratories [5][6]. - Electronic manufacturing service providers may face order losses and production disruptions due to the inability of domestic labs to participate in pre-export testing [5][6]. - Companies in the security and surveillance sector, such as Hikvision and Dahua, will encounter challenges in gaining U.S. market access if their testing is affected by the ban [5][6]. Group 3: Broader Industry Effects - The U.S. action appears to be motivated by a desire to curb the rapid growth of China's tech industry, which poses a competitive threat to U.S. firms [6][7]. - The ban may lead to a shift in the global tech supply chain, prompting China to invest more in independent technology ecosystems and reduce reliance on U.S. markets [7][8]. - The FCC is also considering additional proposals that could further restrict foreign laboratory testing, potentially leading to increased barriers in global tech cooperation [8].
