【环球时报报道 记者 倪浩】陷入失去"产业竞争力"焦虑的欧盟，拟于12月讨论收紧外国投资规则—— 要求投资其新能源领域的企业转移技术。外媒分析称，这一政策主要针对中国企业。 塞茹尔内是在回应有关限制中国企业向欧盟扩张的提问时作出上述表态的。欧盟委员会数据显示，2024 年中国对欧盟的直接投资较2023年增长80%，达94亿欧元。欧盟官员称，新规不会提及中国，但鉴于中 国对欧盟的投资规模，立法重点指向不言自明。 欧盟此前已多次被报道将收紧投资规则。彭博社此前报道称，欧盟考虑强制中企向欧洲公司转让技术， 作为在欧盟进行投资的前提。这些措施将适用于寻求进入汽车和电池等关键数字及制造业市场的公司， 强制中企在欧盟成立合资企业也是备选方案之一。 北京语言大学国别和区域研究院副研究员董一凡告诉《环球时报》记者，欧盟拟议的投资规则应属于其 《工业加速器法案》的一部分。该法案被视为欧盟近十年来在新能源领域出台的最严苛市场准入规则， 中国投资是其主要针对对象。 10月15日，在外交部例行记者会上，针对"欧盟正考虑迫使中国公司向欧洲公司移交技术"的相关问题， 外交部新闻发言人林剑明确表示，反对违反世贸组织规则强制技术转让，反对干 ...

中国的电力需求在过去几十年中稳步增长，尤其是制造业和高科技产业的崛起，推动了对能源的需求飞速上升。 尤其是近年来，新能源汽车产业的迅猛发展以及智能化产业对电力的依赖，使得电力供应成为国家发展的一项战略性问题。 每年，中国各类电站的建设规模逐步扩大，从传统的煤电、核电到新能源的风能和太阳能，电力基础设施建设正在以超乎寻常的速度推进。 中国正加速推动风能、光伏等新能源项目，全球能源格局悄然变化。 从西藏山南风电场到青海光伏电力的远程输送，再到特高压电网的突破，种种迹象表明，中国正朝着成为全球电力"帝国"的目标迈进。 这不仅是为了环保，更是为了确保能源安全、稳定供应，并提升产业竞争力。 为什么在电力已经充足的情况下，我们还要继续加大投资建设电力设施？ 中国的能源问题长期以来都是国家战略中的一个"痛点"。 尤其是石油、天然气等传统能源的对外依赖度过高，石油的对外依存度高达70%，意味着我们每使用10桶油，有7桶要从国际市场进口，这使得中国在面对 全球能源市场波动时，显得格外脆弱。 在2022年俄乌冲突爆发后，国际油价飙升，导致国内物流成本增加，甚至连快递费用都因为油价上涨而有所增加。 这种"卡脖子"的局面，迫使中国政 ...

高盛首席中国经济学家闪辉降中国2026与2027年GDP预期分别从4.3%和4.0%上调至4.8%与4.7%（2019年以来最大幅度的预期上调），理由是出口韧性强、中美贸易紧张局势缓和以及“十五五”规划带来的政策动力增强。闪辉表示，此次习特会表明，中国现在在贸易谈判中拥有了重要的筹码，尤其是在控制稀土出口方面，美国可能更难进一步加征关税。高盛还援引了中国近期召开的四中全会和“十五五”规划的成果，这些成果强调技术自主和产业竞争力。政策制定者旨在加大对高科技制造业和创新的投入，以此作为经济增长的驱动力，取代对房地产和基础设施的依赖。尽管这一战略可能迅速提振出口和企业利润，但闪辉警告称，提振家庭消费可能需要更长时间。高盛还指出，AI崛起有望在未来十年内将中国的长期增长潜力提升高达8%，从而有助于抵消人口结构和结构性不利因素。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article analyzes the potential impact of tariffs on various industries in China and the U.S., emphasizing the importance of the tariff burden distribution between Chinese and American companies on profitability. It evaluates industry competitiveness and bilateral trade dependence to assess how tariffs may be shared across different sectors [1][20]. Industry Competitiveness - China's telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, and textile products exhibit strong competitiveness, with a revealed comparative advantage (RCA) greater than 2 as of 2023. In contrast, primary products and chemicals show lower RCAs below 0.8 [2][3]. - The international market share for China's telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, and textile products is also high, exceeding 30%, while primary and pharmaceutical products have market shares below 10% [3]. - The comprehensive competitiveness index for textiles, telecommunications equipment, electronic data processing, and apparel ranks high at 14, 14, 13, and 13 respectively, while chemicals, agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals, and mineral fuels rank lower at 4-6 [11][13].

Conversely, labor-intensive sectors have higher exposure, affecting their negotiation leverage [14][20]. Tariff Impact - Due to strong competitiveness and high U.S. import dependence, China's telecommunications equipment and consumer electronics are expected to bear less of the tariff burden, while pharmaceuticals may face a heavier burden due to weaker competitiveness and higher export exposure [20]. - Current tariff rates for industries such as leather, transportation equipment, and food are among the highest, indicating potential impacts on these sectors [20]. Political Factors - Political considerations, particularly related to national security and labor rights, are likely to influence U.S. imports from China, with expectations of reduced imports of telecommunications equipment, smart and connected vehicles, and textiles [27].
