特朗普的新關(guān)稅：你能負(fù)擔(dān)得起從中國購買的產(chǎn)品嗎？(2)

@johnWick-lu3ev
the only reason why you can buy that product cheaper is that they have competition, once the there's no competition or the local brand no longer produce the same product, they will increase the price and there's nothing you can do about it.

你能以更便宜的價(jià)格購買該產(chǎn)品的唯一原因是他們存在競爭，一旦沒有競爭或本地品牌不再生產(chǎn)相同的產(chǎn)品，他們就會(huì)提高價(jià)格，而你對此無能為力。

@NimbaFashion
I am a businessman based in Cote d'Ivoire( Ivory Coast ), a very beautiful and amazing country located in west Africa. And most of my equipment and machines, I get them from China. They are more effective and way cheaper than the American or European ones. There is no match! China is the number 1.

我是一名在科特迪瓦（象牙海岸）經(jīng)商的商人，這是一個(gè)位于西非的非常美麗和神奇的國家。我的大部分設(shè)備和機(jī)器都來自中國，它們比美國或歐洲的產(chǎn)品更有效且便宜得多。無可匹敵！中國是第一。

@TheHarlanProject
A gentleman made a similar comment on one of my videos. It’s not about supporting American vs. Chinese. You nailed it…it’s 100% about cost. We can have values and desire all day long but we can’t snap our fingers to double, or in this case, quadruple our bank account. Even then that amount of money may not be justified for non-commercial use. I’m just a regular Joe who’s trying to save his back.
Great videos. Really enjoy your channel!

一位先生在我的一個(gè)視頻上發(fā)表了類似的評論，這不是支持美國還是中國的問題。你說對了……這完全是關(guān)于成本的問題。雖然我們可以整天談?wù)搩r(jià)值觀和愿望，但我們不能打個(gè)響指就讓銀行賬戶翻倍，或者在這種情況下翻四倍。即使那樣，這筆錢也可能不值得用于非商業(yè)用途。我只是一個(gè)試圖節(jié)省開支的普通人。
很棒的視頻，我真的很喜歡你的頻道！

Higher grade build quality from China too, since it is the global manufacturing hub for most of the world’s products. American companies usually order the cheapest quality parts or items (also from China) to increase their profit margins. When buying Chinese directly, the quality is usually higher thanks to them not skimping, and they still keep the prices way lower.
America doesn’t manufacture anything anymore. It is an importer country. All about consuming none about producing. You can blame corporate greed for this.

中國制造的質(zhì)量也更高，因?yàn)樗侨虼蠖鄶?shù)產(chǎn)品的制造中心。美國公司通常訂購最便宜的零件或物品（也來自中國）以增加利潤率。直接購買中國產(chǎn)品時(shí)，質(zhì)量通常更高，因?yàn)樗麄儾粫?huì)偷工減料，而且價(jià)格仍然低得多。
美國不再制造任何東西，它是一個(gè)進(jìn)口國，全是關(guān)于消費(fèi)而不是生產(chǎn)。你可以把這歸咎于企業(yè)的貪婪。

@jameslaw4849
This disparity in cost is exactly why NAFTA was put in place. Some countries are better than others at producing certain goods. It allows us to focus on what we are good at. American made is not BETTER if the only way to make an equivalent product is at 200-300% increase in cost... and that added amount is going to go even higher now that there are 25% tariffs being put on ALL steel and aluminum coming in from outside.

這種成本差異正是NAFTA（北美自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定）存在的原因。一些國家在生產(chǎn)某些商品方面比其他國更好，它讓我們能夠?qū)Ｗ⒂谖覀兩瞄L的領(lǐng)域。如果制造同等產(chǎn)品的唯一方式是增加200-300%的成本，那么“美國制造”并不更好……而且現(xiàn)在對所有從外部進(jìn)口的鋼鐵和鋁征收25%的關(guān)稅，這個(gè)額外成本還會(huì)更高。

You could buy those American equivalents - so long as you swapped your entire client base for super-rich folks willing to pay 5x what you currently charge normal folks for your services. You’re not a traitor - you understand operating costs vs the customer base you work with. Hell, even if you did only service millionaires, I still wouldn’t fault you for making sensible machinery purchases. If it was a case of reliability vs cost, that’d be different but if the machines last as long as more expensive ones, why pay the premium just to “fly the flag”…

你可以購買那些美國制造的替代品——只要你把你的整個(gè)客戶群換成愿意為你目前向普通人收取的服務(wù)費(fèi)支付5倍的超級富豪。你不是叛徒——你理解運(yùn)營成本與你所服務(wù)的客戶群之間的關(guān)系。見鬼，即使你只為百萬富翁服務(wù)，我也不會(huì)因?yàn)槟阕龀雒髦堑臋C(jī)械購買而責(zé)備你。如果是可靠性與成本的對比，那會(huì)有所不同，但如果這些機(jī)器的使用壽命與更昂貴的機(jī)器一樣長，為什么要為了“支持國貨”而支付溢價(jià)呢……

@kimchiba4570
Over the last 3 decades ..American businesses bought cheap Chinese products and marked it up manifold ... China made very little money but she had no choice; China was making low end products ... But now and moving forward.. It's different

在過去的30年里……美國企業(yè)購買廉價(jià)的中國產(chǎn)品并大幅加價(jià)……中國賺得很少，但她別無選擇；中國當(dāng)時(shí)生產(chǎn)的是低端產(chǎn)品……但現(xiàn)在和未來……情況不同了。

@moonwalker8172
I used to buy only American made tools: Craftsman, Kobalt, and a few other brands. That’s until these brands started selling Chinese made tools for the same high price as actual American made tools. I only buy Chinese stuff at low Chinese appropriate prices. Same is true with these machines. We have American companies trying to double the price of these Chinese built machines. If I could buy American machines without going through the stealership, maybe I could afford them too.

我曾經(jīng)只購買美國制造的工具：Craftsman、Kobalt和其他一些品牌，直到這些品牌開始以與美國制造工具相同的高價(jià)銷售中國制造的工具。我只以適合中國的低價(jià)購買中國產(chǎn)品，這些機(jī)器也是如此。我們有美國公司試圖將這些中國制造的機(jī)器價(jià)格翻倍，如果我能不通過經(jīng)銷商購買美國機(jī)器，也許我也能買得起。

@Sonyhamster
Our company was asked to switch from American and British to Chinese due to cost cutting measures. We braced ourselves for having more problems and breakdowns. Three years on and the machines and components from China on average are lasting twice as long versus the stuff we were getting from the U.S or Britain.

由于成本削減措施，我們公司被要求從美國和英國轉(zhuǎn)向中國，我們做好了面對更多問題和故障的準(zhǔn)備。三年過去了，來自中國的機(jī)器和組件的平均使用壽命是我們從美國或英國獲得的產(chǎn)品兩倍。

I could go on and on about our American system! This started way back in the 70’s. I remember when the American made automobile was the standard, but the companies got greedy. The government then added tariffs to Japanese vehicles, which were smaller used less gas and were fuel efficient. In response the American car manufacturers upped their prices but not their quality. I wanted my family members who drove them get more & more frustrated with repeat bills to keep them on the road. My mom brought a Toyota Camry and it was a game changer. Eventually my dad did the same and they never looked back. Everything in the country I love is now for profit. Companies don’t care about their consumers until they realize they no longer have their loyal base. By then it’s too late. Look at this last election, promises made of betterment but what we’re seeing is more of the same. I applaud you for spending your hard earned money wisely. Much of this country is owned by China because of greed. I don’t like where we are heading but what can I do! Good luck guys

我可以滔滔不絕地談?wù)撐覀兊拿绹贫?！這始于上世紀(jì)70年代。我記得當(dāng)時(shí)美國制造的汽車是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，但公司變得貪婪。政府隨后對日本汽車征收關(guān)稅，這些汽車更小、耗油更少且燃油效率更高。作為回應(yīng)，美國汽車制造商提高了價(jià)格，但沒有提高質(zhì)量。我希望駕駛這些車的家人對不斷重復(fù)的維修賬單感到越來越沮喪。我媽媽買了一輛豐田凱美瑞，這改變了游戲規(guī)則。最終我爸爸也做了同樣的事情，他們再也沒有回頭。我熱愛的這個(gè)國家的一切現(xiàn)在都是為了利潤，公司直到意識到他們失去了忠實(shí)的客戶群時(shí)才關(guān)心消費(fèi)者，但到那時(shí)已經(jīng)太晚了?？纯瓷洗芜x舉，他們承諾了改進(jìn)，但我們看到的卻是更多相同的東西。我為你明智地花費(fèi)辛苦賺來的錢而鼓掌。由于貪婪，這個(gè)國家的許多東西都被中國擁有。我不喜歡我們前進(jìn)的方向，但我能做什么？祝大家好運(yùn)。

@TurfSurf
My company switched production back to the US back in 2019 after the first tariff, our sales dropped by 60% the following year due to the price increase! We switched production back to our overseas factory in 2020, even with the initial tariff. The customers are still paying more than before but less than the ones produced here.

我的公司在2019年首次關(guān)稅后把生產(chǎn)轉(zhuǎn)回了美國，由于價(jià)格上漲，第二年我們的銷售額下降了60%！我們在2020年將生產(chǎn)轉(zhuǎn)回海外工廠，盡管有初始關(guān)稅，客戶仍然需要支付比以前更多的費(fèi)用，但比在這里生產(chǎn)的要少。

@redeclipse-fn
Thank you sir for your candid assessment. You are no traitor--just a smart consumer. I hope you don't mind me getting a bit academic here. Many people who lambast China for cheap products often purchase their low-end products on online retail venues. Those manufacturers know that there's a sucker born every minute, with buyers thinking they can avoid the old adage that you "get what you pay for". Moreover in economics, there's a concept known as the "latecomer advantage." Without understanding this concept, we risk politicizing everything and becoming Sinophobic. Essentially, the Chinese, along with other countries that had in the past wanted to speed up development (a few decades ago "import substitution industrialization" was employed and approximates the aforementioned term), would study the products they want, see how they failed in the original markets, and simply improve upon them so that they could jumpstart their domestic industries. They watch and learn from other people's mistakes. Now, the old refrain that China copies everything--in the world of military spending, industrial espionage is common. The US even human trafficked former Nazis to get their rocket program going; they let off the hook Japanese administrators of Unit 731 so as to steal their research data on biological warfare. Deepseek was hacked within days of their release--the NSA does not sit around and write yelp reviews. Like our host on the video here: I want to buy American as well but the American labor force is a very demanding overhead cost, and this translates to more expensive products. Truth be told, if you pay a good price for Chinese products, you will have an excellent product.

謝謝你坦誠的評估。你不是叛徒——你只是一個(gè)聰明的消費(fèi)者。希望你不介意我在這里稍微學(xué)術(shù)化一點(diǎn)。許多因廉價(jià)產(chǎn)品而抨擊中國的人往往在在線零售平臺上購買他們的低端產(chǎn)品，這些制造商知道每分鐘都有傻瓜誕生，買家會(huì)認(rèn)為他們可以避免“一分錢一分貨”的老話。此外，在經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)中，有一個(gè)概念叫做“后發(fā)優(yōu)勢”。如果不理解這個(gè)概念，我們就有可能將一切政治化并變得恐華。本質(zhì)上，中國以及其他過去希望加速發(fā)展的國家（幾十年前采用了“進(jìn)口替代工業(yè)化”并近似于上述術(shù)語）會(huì)研究他們想要的產(chǎn)品，看看它們在原始市場中的失敗之處，然后簡單地改進(jìn)它們以便啟動(dòng)他們的國內(nèi)產(chǎn)業(yè)。他們觀察并學(xué)習(xí)別人的錯(cuò)誤?，F(xiàn)在，關(guān)于中國抄襲一切的老調(diào)重彈——在軍費(fèi)開支的世界里，工業(yè)間諜活動(dòng)很常見。美國甚至通過販賣前納粹分子來推動(dòng)他們的火箭計(jì)劃，他們放過了731部隊(duì)的日本管理人員以竊取他們的生物戰(zhàn)研究數(shù)據(jù)。Deepseek在發(fā)布幾天內(nèi)就被黑客攻擊——NSA（美國國家安全局）不會(huì)閑坐著寫Yelp評論。就像我們視頻中的主持人一樣：我也想買美國產(chǎn)品，但美國勞動(dòng)力是一個(gè)非常高的間接成本，這會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)化為更昂貴的產(chǎn)品。說實(shí)話，如果你為中國的產(chǎn)品支付合理的價(jià)格，你會(huì)得到一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的產(chǎn)品。

@podgioli
I am a Brit & visited the US for the last ever time in 22. All goods that were half the price of ours, just six years earlier, were five times ours by 22. 26 bucks for a jar of coffee FFS. Barely below 300 per day for car rental. 100 per day just for picnic lunch food from Safeway. The taxes for my trip came to more than the original entire budget. Switzerland is now just ONE THIRD of the price. I don't know what happened your way but there is no way back within a century.

我是英國人，最后一次訪問美國是在22年。僅僅六年前，美國所有商品的價(jià)格是我們的一半，到2022年時(shí)已經(jīng)是我們的五倍。26美元一罐咖啡，真是夠了。租車每天幾乎不低于300美元。每天僅從Safeway購買野餐午餐食品就要100美元。我旅行的稅收超過了原來的整個(gè)預(yù)算，而瑞士現(xiàn)在只有美國三分之一的價(jià)格。我不知道你們那邊發(fā)生了什么，但在一個(gè)世紀(jì)內(nèi)你們都沒有回頭路。

@lostistn
I am a Chinese resident in Australia, and my perspective isn't driven by politics. I simply believe that everyone should have access to affordable options. While the oligarchs persuade people that tariffs serve the common good, they ought to focus more on practical efforts and policies to bolster local businesses, enhancing comprehensive supply chains. This approach would legitimately turn tariffs into a competitive edge. Without such support, tariffs merely become a tool to increase the revenue of oligarchs at the expense of Americans. Meanwhile, bankers, reaping easy profits, show little willingness to sacrifice their short-term interests to motivate Americans to invest in building up their nation. That seems like a dead end to me.

我是一名生活在澳大利亞的中國人，我的觀點(diǎn)不受政治驅(qū)動(dòng)。我只是認(rèn)為每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該有機(jī)會(huì)獲得負(fù)擔(dān)得起的選擇。雖然寡頭們說服人們關(guān)稅是為了公共利益，但他們應(yīng)該更多地關(guān)注實(shí)際的努力和政策以支持本地企業(yè)，增強(qiáng)綜合供應(yīng)鏈。這種方法將合法地將關(guān)稅轉(zhuǎn)化為競爭優(yōu)勢。沒有這樣的支持，關(guān)稅會(huì)僅僅成為寡頭們以犧牲美國人為代價(jià)增加收入的工具。與此同時(shí)，銀行家們輕松獲利，他們幾乎沒有意愿犧牲他們的短期利益來激勵(lì)美國人投資建設(shè)他們的國家。這在我看來似乎是一條死胡同。

@frankcg6731
It's capatalism at its finest. If a company's product can't compete on the market, whether due to poor quality or high prices... or both, then that company either innovates, or dies. So far we havn't seen a major innovation from a US company in decades

這是資本主義的最佳體現(xiàn)。如果一家公司的產(chǎn)品無法在市場上競爭，無論是由于質(zhì)量差還是價(jià)格高……或者兩者兼而有之，那么這家公司要么創(chuàng)新，要么死亡。到目前為止，我們幾十年來沒有看到美國公司的重大創(chuàng)新。

@davidanthonychilds4460
Blind loyalty to 'buy American' doesn't make a product better—it just shields companies from competition. Real patriotism is about making smart choices, not being guilt-tripped into overpaying. If an American company wants support, it should earn it through price and quality, not emotional manipulation.

盲目忠誠于“購買美國貨”并不會(huì)使產(chǎn)品變得更好——它只是在保護(hù)公司免受競爭。真正的愛國主義是關(guān)于做出明智的選擇，而不是被內(nèi)疚感驅(qū)使而支付過高的價(jià)格。如果一家美國公司想要支持，它應(yīng)該通過價(jià)格和質(zhì)量而不是情感操縱來贏得支持。

@scatwater
I am with you. I am looking at 300k for my next truck to do my job. But I would for sure purchase these machines if it applied to my business. I still may pick up an excavator for around my dad's place. Great videos keep doing what you are doing!!

我支持你。我正在考慮花30萬美元買下一輛卡車來完成我的工作，如果這些機(jī)器適用于我的業(yè)務(wù)，我一定會(huì)購買它們。我可能還會(huì)為我爸爸的地方買一臺挖掘機(jī)。很棒的視頻，請繼續(xù)做你正在做的事情?。?/b>
