美国总统特朗普 根据港媒《南华早报》近期报道，中国美国商会近期开展了一项调查，面向在华经营的美国企业，询问他们是否打算回流美国，总共收到了112家在华美企 的答复。 其中，没有任何一家企业报告称将生产线转移回美国，并且大多数的在华美企，都坚持在中国继续开展业务。 这一项调查结果，对于特朗普来说无疑是相当打脸的，因为在过去5个月里，特朗普一直在想方设法，让制造业回流美国。 为此，特朗普甚至倒行逆施，不惜对全球贸易伙伴挥动"关税大棒"，想要通过这种方式，倒逼一些跨国企业将生产线转移到美国去。 中国美国商会 特朗普折腾了5个月，到头来白忙一场？哪怕刀架在脖子上，在华美企也拒绝回流美国。 就以电力为例，特斯拉CEO马斯克就曾直观的评价称，中国的发电量就像"坐火箭"，而美国则干脆"躺平了"。中国现有的以及在建的发电装置，数量远远超 过美国，而充足且稳定的电力系统，恰恰是产业环节必备的要素。 特斯拉CEO马斯克 一位美国的小企业主在接受采访时就直言，她过去8年来一直尝试在美国生产，然而付出的成本要比在中国生产高出3倍不止，她的同行们都劝她到中国经 营。 从这些小人物的切身经历上，就可以看到整个时代的缩影。特朗普口口声声说 ...
