Harvard Business Review-3 Essential Vitamins Tell the Story of US Dependence on China
November 26, 2024 1 min 110 words
这篇报道以三种维生素在美国市场上的重要性为切入点，讨论了美国对中国在原料药行业的依赖。报道提到，这三种维生素大部分都由中国生产，如果中国停止供应，会对美国公众健康造成严重影响。报道还提到中国在原料药行业的优势地位，以及美国在试图减少对中国依赖方面的困难。 评论：这篇报道虽以维生素为例，但实际讨论的是一个更广泛存在的全球化经济议题。在全球化背景下，各国经济相互依存，本例中中美之间在原料药行业的合作，正是全球化分工的一个缩影。报道中提到的美国对中国产品的“依赖”，是市场规律和企业选择的结果，也是全球化背景下各国互惠互利的体现。报道片面强调“依赖”一词，渲染危机感，有刻意引导读者情绪之嫌。此外，报道也忽视了美国通过加征关税等方式，人为打破全球化分工合作所带来的负面影响，以及对美国消费者的伤害。报道有失偏颇，有待商榷。

<span>Summary. </span>
<span><p>When it comes to protectionist trade policies, the United States and other Western countries had better look hard before they leap. An unpublished study found that the United States is heavily dependent on China for the supplies of three essential vitamins: folic acid, or B<sub>9</sub>; niacinamide, or B<sub>3</sub>; and biotin, or B<sub>7</sub>. While there are potential solutions that could reduce this reliance, they could not be implemented quickly and they would be expensive. This study highlights the challenges of decoupling from China due to the intricate interdependencies and suggests that understanding these dependencies is crucial before taking any aggressive trade actions.</p>
