新华社德国慕尼黑5月6日电 专访｜关税"筑墙"挡不住合作步伐——访德国巴伐利亚州副州长艾旺格 新华社记者李函林 "从巴伐利亚州的立场出发，我们坚决反对任何形式的惩罚性关税。"德国巴伐利亚州副州长兼州经济、 发展和能源部长胡贝特·艾旺格日前接受新华社记者专访时表示，贸易壁垒只会损害全球经济，巴伐利 亚州企业和民众更希望看到开放、公平、稳定的国际合作。 在他看来，主要经济体不应陷入相互加征关税的恶性循环，而应以规则为基础，通过对话和协商解决分 歧。"美国对贸易伙伴加征关税，往往会引发报复性措施。理想的做法是各方推动更开放和自由的贸易 环境，这将有助于促进各国间的合作与共同繁荣。" 作为德国经济最发达的联邦州之一，巴伐利亚州长期重视对华经贸关系。这里不仅是宝马、西门子、奥 迪、安联等跨国企业总部所在地，也是众多中国企业在欧洲发展布局的重点区域。目前，约有500家中 国企业在巴州投资运营，超过2000家本地企业与中国保持直接业务往来。 艾旺格认为，德中经济合作应超越地缘政治干扰，持续向互利共赢的方向深化发展。他说，中国一直是 巴伐利亚州非常重要的贸易伙伴。中国企业在新产品开发和新商业模式落地方面非常高效，基础设施建 ...

青藏高原高寒缺氧，制约生产的因素多，经济发展相较于平原地区更为不易。然而，位于拉萨市西南方 向的堆龙德庆区虽然人口仅12万余人，各类企业数量却已突破2.1万家，其中50%为现代服务业企业且 多为近5年落地。 中国中小城市发展指数研究课题组、国信中小城市指数研究院联合发布的"2024年中国中小城市高质量 发展指数研究成果"中，拉萨市堆龙德庆区连续三年蝉联"全国投资潜力百强区"，也是西藏唯一上榜的 县（区）。 企业频频落户招商引资火热 春日，走进位于堆龙德庆区近郊的拉萨城投物流园区，记者看到一片繁忙的场景。 在京东物流供应链2.6万平方米的库区，货架上摆满了米面粮油、日用百货、家用电器等，仓储机器人 来回穿梭运输，出库工作人员正有序进行分拣打包。仓储库房外，一辆辆物流货车进进出出忙着卸货、 发货。 "京东物流入驻7年间，每天订单从100单增长到1.1万单，2024年零售额已突破6亿元，同比增长率在京 东旗下的物流园区中排名前三。"京东物流供应链事业部川藏地区西藏负责人牟少林说。 近年来，得益于城乡建设、产业调整升级，众多企业加速落户堆龙德庆区。目前，当地已形成包括领峰 智慧物流园、高原食品冷链中心在内的"三园一中 ...

宏观视点 中国的绿色产业在全球处于领先位置，近期DeepSeek的突破令各界重新审视中国的AI发展水平和创新 能力，另一方面，需求疲弱仍然是经济面临的突出问题。如何理解这组反差？宏观上可以总结为从规 模不经济走向规模新经济。绿色和数字经济是规模新经济的突出代表，不仅体现在大规模生产降低单 位成本，更重要的是规模经济促进创新的动态过程。中国处于一个独特的地位，既可得益于发展差距 带来的追赶效应，也拥有大国规模经济促进创新的优势。 但发挥规模经济效应面临两方面的挑战。内部来讲，从金融周期上半场的繁荣到下半场的调整，虽然 房地产的规模不经济属性在供给侧对生产力的抑制下降，但其作为信贷抵押品的角色在需求侧带来债 务紧缩压力，需求不足阻碍了规模经济效应的充分发挥。外部来讲，在新的地缘经济形势下，中美合 作的"G2模式"遭到挑战，中国面临纵向"卡脖子"和横向"去中心化"压力，前者不利于追赶，后者不利 于发挥规模经济效应，尤其是美国的关税政策加剧中国的需求不足问题。 应对挑战的关键是促进科技创新与产业创新融合发展，减少对过去产业创新形成的"重供给与资产"的 路径依赖，以"重需求与人才"促进科技创新。在财政层面，在政府对研发 ...
