Tiny Singapore replaces U.S. as India's top market for engineering exports

小国新加坡取代美国成为印度最大的工程配件出口市场

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Singapore replaced the United States as India's biggest overseas market for engineering parts in April, with exports rising 95% to $553 million from a year earlier, a trade body said on Wednesday, as statistics are upended by coronavirus lockdowns.

新德里(路透社)：周三，一家贸易机构表示，4月份新加坡取代美国成为印度最大的工程配件海外市场，出口额较上年同期增长95%，增至5.53亿美元。

India's overall engineering exports, comprising industrial machinery and auto parts, constitute nearly a quarter of total goods exports, contracting in April and May due to the coronavirus and weak global demand, traders said.

贸易商表示，印度包括工业机械和汽车零部件在内的工程产品的出口额占总出口额的近四分之一，由于新冠疫情和全球需求疲软，4月和5月工程产品的出口额均出现下降。

"Singapore has replaced the U.S. as the number one destination for Indian engineering exports," said Ravi Sehgal, chairman of the India'a Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC).

印度工程出口促进委员会(EEPC)主席Ravi Sehgal表示："新加坡已取代美国，成为印度工程配件出口的头号目的地。"

Engineering exports to were up 19% year on year to $173 million, he said.

他说，对华工程配件出口同比增长19%，至1.73亿美元。

However, total engineering exports were down 63.9% in April to $2.31 billion from $6.4 billion, the EEPC said. In April, for which latest data is available, engineering exports to the United States declined 75% to $222 million.

不过，EEPC表示，4月份工程配件出口总额下降了63.9%，从64亿美元降至23.1亿美元。今年4月，印度对美国的工程配件出口下降了75%，至2.22亿美元。

India is due to release monthly trade data for May next week and is widely expected to report another fall in exports.

印度将于下周公布5月份贸易数据，外界普遍预计印度出口额将再次下滑。

Singapore imports electrical machinery, components, aircraft and ship parts and non-ferrous metal from India, the trade body said, adding there was a more than five-fold rise in exports of non-ferrous metal to Singapore in April from a year earlier.

该贸易机构表示，新加坡从印度进口电机、零部件、飞机和船舶零部件以及有色金属，并补充称，4月份对新加坡的有色金属出口同比增长逾5倍。

Over the last few years, Singapore has emerged among the top 10 destinations for Indian engineering exporters, with exports of more than $80 billion in 2018/19.

在过去几年里，新加坡已跻身印度工程配件出口商的十大目的地之列，2018 -2019年度出口额超过800亿美元。

What this article fails to mention that companies in Singapore that are importing Indian goods are primarily owned and operated by either expat Indians or people who are Indian and have lived in Singapore for a generation or two.

这篇文章没有提到的是，在新加坡，进口印度商品的公司主要是由海外印度裔或在新加坡生活了一两代的印度人拥有和经营的。

As an American I can say our country is going to hell fast. I always wanted to move to Singapore anyway. I have to convince my wife now and after these riots I think she will agree with me that we are done as a country.

作为一个美国人，我敢说我们的国家就快完蛋了，我一直想搬到新加坡去。我现在必须说服我的妻子，经历这些骚乱之后，我想她会同意的，我们国家完蛋了。

I studied both here in the US and my birth country. I can honestly say that my birth country has more stricter and high standard when it comes to education. We rarely have any multiple choice as a test questionnaire, they are like bonus points to us.

我在美国和我的祖国都接受过教育。老师说，我们国家在教育方面有更严格、更高的标准。在测试问卷中，我们很少有选择题，而选择题对我们来说就像送分题一样。

Keep up those isolationist policies, "mr." president. You're doing a GREAT job.

You didn't want ANYONE to rely on the U.S. anymore, and they're staying away in droves.

MAGA!!!!!!

总统先生，继续奉行孤立主义政策吧，你做得很好。

你不想让任何人再依赖美国，他们正成群结队地远离美国。

让美国再次伟大!

Importing garbage from India and is not a preferred strategy for the USA. Let Singapore enjoy the "junk"....good luck! Do not forget- USA sent a man to the moon and brought it safely back mostly with the help of its own talent...no Indian or was involved in that endeavor.

从印度和进口垃圾产品不是美国的首选项。让新加坡好好享用这些“垃圾”吧…祝你们好运！别忘了，美国是第一个把人送上月球，并把人安全带回地球的，而且完全是靠自己，印度和都没有参与。
