文|康路 2025年10月7日,在美国格林威治经济论坛上,APCO Worldwide创始人玛乔丽·克劳斯 (Marjorie Kraus)与公司大中华区主席詹姆斯·麦格雷戈(James McGregor)展开了一 场关于"投资中国"的深度对话。 在中国工作生活逾三十年的麦格雷戈表示,当前,跨国企业正以更加务实和深度的方式继续 扎根中国。 他总结道,中国对跨国企业的吸引力源自长期的结构性优势。首先,中国的市场体量巨大。 中国依然是世界上最具规模效应的消费与产业市场。对制造业、能源、消费品乃至金融机构 而言,这个庞大的市场仍是其全球布局中最核心的一环。 其次,中国的创新能力充满活力。麦格雷戈指出,中国的创新并不总是颠覆式的突破,而是 一种持续的"渐进式创新",在商业模式、产品迭代和产业链效率上的快速改进。华为正在 上海青浦建设一个超过百万平方米的创新园区,计划容纳三万多研发人员,这只是科研与产 业升级投入的一个缩影。他强调,中国企业擅长将技术从实验室推向市场。 第三个原因则更具战略意味。跨国公司意识到他们未来最强的竞争对手极有可能来自中国。 越来越多的外企选择与中国企业合作、学习甚至结盟,以便提前布局,包括新能 ...
