全世界要做好準(zhǔn)備，“中國制造”不會再便宜了

所謂的“世界工廠”可能最終再也無法繼續(xù)供應(yīng)像今天這樣低價的產(chǎn)品了。

長期以來，“中國制造”的產(chǎn)品在競爭中通過降低生產(chǎn)成本來擴(kuò)大需求。而如今，盡管全球需求依然低迷，“中國制造”的產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)品價格卻可能上漲。

《彭博社》報道，當(dāng)看到價格和生產(chǎn)成本似乎到達(dá)歷史新低后，中國制造商開始考慮提高價格，以彌補(bǔ)企業(yè)虧損。《彭博社》在中國各大交易會上采訪了多家制造商企業(yè)，他們一致表示，想要提高產(chǎn)品價格，以彌補(bǔ)不斷攀升的人力和原料成本，而有些企業(yè)則是為了能夠在業(yè)內(nèi)得以生存。

預(yù)期中國出口商的價格上漲可能影響從中國大量進(jìn)口商品的國家，包括澳大利亞（23%進(jìn)口來自中國）、日本（四分之一進(jìn)口來自中國）。但是，近年來通貨膨脹率上升緩慢，此舉是否會加劇全球經(jīng)濟(jì)通貨膨脹仍有待觀察。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

The so-called “world’s factory” may finally no longer be a source for products as cheap as they are today.

After a prolonged time of boosting demands by making production costs more competitive than its rivals, prices of “Made in China” goods could be on the verge of rising, even as global demand remains tepid.

Bloomberg reports that Chinese manufacturers are beginning to consider price hikes as a way to recoup lost margins, after prices and production costs appear to have hit a new floor. Manufacturers interviewed byBloomberg at various Chinese trade fairs have expressed a uniform sentiment of seeking possibilities to increase their prices to make up for rising labor and material costs, sometimes in order to survive in their respective industries.

The anticipated price hike by Chinese exporters could affect economies importing a large amount of goods from the country, ranging from Australia, where 23% of all imports are from China, to Japan, which imports a quarter of all its imported goods from China. But whether this move would fuel inflation in the global economy, which has been running slow in recent years, remains to be seen.
