Group 1: Historical Context - The decline of the U.S. shipbuilding industry began as early as the 1950s and 1960s, long before China's shipbuilding capabilities developed [3]. - Post-World War II, Japan and South Korea gained a competitive edge in the global commercial shipbuilding market due to government support and cost advantages, leading to the U.S. losing its market share [3]. - By the 1970s, the U.S. held an 8% share of the global commercial shipbuilding market, which has now dwindled to nearly zero by 2024 [3].

【文/观察者网 王恺雯】在美国的关税重压下，韩国去年喊出"让美国造船业再次伟大"（MASGA）， 并向特朗普推介其全球领先的造船厂，试图将其作为振兴美国制造业的范本。 然而彭博社却发现，对于让特朗普称赞的韩国造船业，韩国人自己都有些"避之不及"。 彭博社2月11日报道称，造船业是韩国最危险的行业之一，每年造成数十人死亡，越来越多韩国工人对 这类工作避而远之，导致该行业严重依赖低薪移民劳工。分析指出，这样的模式可能难以输出到对移民 限制越来越严格的美国。 韩国总统李在明10日在国务会议上表示："如果我们以每月约220万韩元（约合10500元人民币）的薪资 引进外国工人填补船厂岗位，就必须思考这会对国内就业产生什么影响，以及这是否真正有助于行业的 长期发展。" 乍看之下，韩国造船业实力雄厚：速度快、成本低、效率极高。首尔已将其纳入价值3500亿美元的对美 投资承诺中，并试图以此为契机，获得军舰建造合同和建造核动力潜艇的许可。 当地时间2025年8月26日，美国宾夕法尼亚州费城，韩国总统李在明视察韩国韩华集团收购的造船厂。 IC Photo 然而，看似强大的产业实力背后，却是频发的事故与劳工权益受限的现实。 根据彭 ...
