China overtakes Japan as world's top car exporter

中国取代日本成为全球最大的汽车出口国

China says it has become the world's biggest exporter of cars after overtaking Japan in the first three months of the year.

Officials figures released in the last week show China exported 1.07 million vehicles in the period, up 58% compared to the first quarter of 2022.

At the same time Japan's vehicle exports stood at 954,185, after edging up 6% from a year earlier.

China's exports were boosted by demand for electric cars and sales to Russia.

中国表示，今年前三个月的汽车出口量超过日本，中国已成为全球最大的汽车出口国。

上周公布的官方数据显示，中国在今年前三个月出口了107万辆汽车，比2022年第一季度增长了58%。

与此同时，日本汽车出口为954,185辆，较上年同期小幅增长6%。

全球市场对电动汽车的需求及对俄罗斯的销售提振了中国的出口规模。

Last year, China overtook Germany to become the world's second largest car exporter.

According to China's General Administration of Customs, China exported 3.2 million vehicles in 2022, compared to Germany's 2.6 million vehicle exports.

The shift away from fossil fuels has helped fuel the rise of China's motor industry.

去年，中国超过德国，成为世界第二大汽车出口国。

根据中国海关总署的数据，中国2022年共出口了320万辆汽车，而德国出口了260万辆汽车。

各国降低对化石燃料的依赖，助推了中国汽车工业的崛起。

First quarter exports of new energy vehicles (NEVs), which includes electric cars, rose by more than 90%, compared to a year earlier.

Tesla's China arm, SAIC - the owner of the MG brand - and BYD, which is backed by veteran US investor Warren Buffett, are among China's top exporters of NEVs.

Elon Musk's electric carmaker has a huge manufacturing plant in Shanghai which exports to regions including Japan and Europe.

新能源汽车(包括电动汽车)第一季度的出口较去年同期增长了90%以上。

特斯拉的中国子公司、MG品牌的所有者上汽集团，以及得到美国资深投资者沃伦巴菲特支持的比亚迪，都是中国最大的新能源汽车出口商。

埃隆•马斯克在上海拥有一家大型电动汽车制造厂，出口日本和欧洲等地区。

Tesla's 'Gigafactory' is currently capable of producing 1.25 million vehicles a year, and the company is planning to further increase capacity.

Last month, it started making Model Y sport utility vehicles for export to Canada.

China has also seen exports to Russia surge since the start of the Ukraine war, as Western countries imposed trade sanctions on Moscow.

目前，特斯拉的”超级工厂”每年能够生产125万辆汽车，该公司正计划进一步提高产能。

上个月，该公司开始生产出口到加拿大的Model Y运动型多用途车。

自乌克兰战争爆发以来，西方国家对莫斯科实施贸易制裁，中国对俄罗斯的出口也随之激增。

Last, year, Chinese carmakers - including Geely, Chery and Great Wall - saw their market share in Russia jump after rivals including Volkswagen and Toyota quit the country following the invasion of Ukraine.

去年俄罗斯出兵乌克兰后，大众汽车和丰田等竞争对手退出俄罗斯，包括吉利、奇瑞和长城在内的中国汽车制造商在俄罗斯的市场份额大幅上升。

以下是美国reddit网友的评论：

I think the other part of it is that in the US we see a lot of Japanese car brands. We really don’t see any Chinese car brands. But this is worldwide numbers and as the article says, largely boosted by exports to Russia.

我们在美国能看到很多日本汽车品牌。但我们真的没有看到任何中国汽车品牌。但这是针对全世界各国的统计数字，正如文章所说的，主要是由对俄罗斯的出口推动的。

cookingboy

The thing is Chinese exports include foreign brands manufactured in China as well.

Americans probably don’t realize there are many models on the road that’s built in China.

问题是，中国出口的汽车也包含了在中国制造的外国品牌。

美国人可能没发现，路上行驶的车子里，有很多是中国制造的。

SkeletonJWarrior

Metal gear solid 2 was about this as well lol

《合金装备2》里也说到了这一点

TenguBlade

I suspect a part of the reaction to this particular piece of news is people not understanding that all this talk is about exports of Chinese-manufactured cars from all brands, not just Chinese or even Chinese-owned ones. So their perception is that the press is heralding a Chinese takeover of the auto industry’s market share.

我怀疑人们看到这条新闻可能会有一种反应，他们不理解新闻中说的是中国制造的所有品牌的汽车出口量，不单指中国品牌或中国控股品牌。所以这些人会以为媒体说中国马上就要称霸汽车行业的市场份额了。

cookingboy

Of course, reading before forming an opinion would’ve circumvented such a possibility, but who does that these days…

当然，在形成自己的观点之前要多读点书，才能避免闹这种笑话，但现在谁还看书呢……

verdegrrl

This is starting to trend into politics. Please dial it back a bit because it will not be about cars.

这已经逐渐渗透到政治领域了。悠着点吧，因为届时就不是汽车的事了。

stav_and_nick

I guess I'm just baffled by it, really. Like China does some bad shit obviously; but the sheer vitriol in reddit is just bizarre. Like, we fought actual, multiple wars against Germany and Japan where hundreds of thousands of people died and there's less severe beef

我觉得我有点困惑，真的。就像中国是干了些坏事，但reddit上尖酸刻薄的评论实在是太令人费解了。我们跟德国和日本也打过好多场战争，成千上万的人因此丧命，但我们没啥意见。

Like, if Israelis can buy Volkswagens why am I getting shit on for talking about buying a BYD? Just bad vibes all sound

如果以色列人能买大众汽车，那么购买比亚迪汽车凭啥要挨骂呢？这里的氛围真是诡异。

TenguBlade

If you can unironically dismiss the actions of the Chinese over the last 80 years so easily, you haven’t even begun to understand what they’ve done. Until you truly understand the monstrosity you’re defending, you won’t understand why basically the entirety of the first and second world detest and fear China

如果你是真心对中国在过去80年里的行为毫无异议，那么你压根都无法理解他们究竟都干了啥。除非你真的了解你正在捍卫的这个国家，否则你不会明白为什么几乎所有第一世界和第二世界都担心中国

hunnathounmore

Because reddit consists mainly of young adults who are ignorant to history and don't have a full grasp of their life let alone international affairs yet. How do I know? Because I am one of them

因为reddit的主要用户群体是一群对历史一无所知的年轻人，他们连自己的小日子都过不明白，更不用说国际事务了。我是怎么知道的呢？因为我就是其中一员啊。

altacan

If Reddit was around during the late 70's/80's you'd probably have seen similar attitudes towards Japan. Back then they were the ascendant Asian rival stealing western IP with unfair trade practices. Despite being a demilitarized nation firmly subservient to the US in international affairs.

如果70年代末或80年代就有Reddit，你可能会发现人们对日本也抱着类似的态度。那时，日本是在亚洲崛起的竞争对手，用不公平的贸易行为窃取西方知识产权。尽管是一个非军事化国家，但在国际事务中坚定地唯美国马首是瞻。

Does anyone here owns an MG? How good is it?

这里有人买过名爵吗？车子好在哪里？

rgb255469236

The MG ZS EV is an attractively priced, adequately specd machine that’s non-car people are buying to get from A to B in, cheaply. Not everyone cares about the “brand” of car they’re driving around in.

名爵ZS EV的价格太有吸引力了，没买过汽车的人们都争相购买，出门代步又方便又便宜。不是所有人都在意自己驾驶的汽车究竟是什么“牌子”的。

Carter0108

Not at all surprising. MG alone is blowing up like crazy here.

这一点也不奇怪。名爵在这里好像都被抢疯了。

NarisPlastica

Not sure where you mean by “here” but us Mexcans really can’t get enough MG’s

Edit: Also I hate the yellow paint everyone seems to get. Looks so bad.

不知道你说的“这里”指的是哪里，但我们墨西哥人真的很难买到名爵

编辑：我很不喜欢那个黄色油漆。看起来丑爆了。

They aren't in the states. At least not that I know of

它们还没登陆美国。至少据我所知还没有。

THXFLS

The Buick Envision is made in China.

别克昂科威是在中国制造的。

goaelephant

If the VIN# starts with L, it's manufactured in China.

如果VIN#是以L开头的，那么就是在中国制造的。

akhahkhahkamir

volvo, polestar are chinese now

沃尔沃、极星现在都被中国收购了

shigs21

this is pretty big, but I don't think it includes sales- a lot of "japanese" cars are made in the countries or regions they are sold in. Like most accords and camrys are made in the united states

这确实是一个很大的数字，但我不认为它反映了实际销量——许多“日本”汽车是在它们销售的终端国家或地区进行生产的。比如，大多数雅阁和凯美瑞都是在美国境内生产的

Itchy_Feedback9275

Anyone else find it telling and funny how the default assumption of redditors is that the ultimate goal of the Chinese auto industry is to enter the United States market? Sure Americans have a lot of money but ultimately they are a country that makes up 4.25% of the global population. Talk about having an overinflated opinion about yourselves…

你们有没有觉得很搞笑，reddit用户们默认的假设是中国汽车行业的最终目标就是要打入美国市场？当然，美国人有很多钱，但归根结底他们只是一个人口仅占全球总人口4.25%的国家。你们的自我感觉未免太过良好了吧……

printaport

Considering how many car parts already have "made in China" on them, that's not a surprise.

考虑到多少汽车零部件都是“中国制造”的，出现这个结果一点都不意外。

No_Season_354

Chinese have nuch lower labour rates, hence their products ate cheaper and they can make more , i see of of Chinese made cars on the roads here, and are significantly cheaper than other makes. Are they any good I don't know.

中国人的工资非常低，所以他们的产品价格更低，他们自然可以生产出更多产品。我在路上看到过中国制造的汽车，比其他汽车都要便宜得多。但我不知道它们到底好不好。

gentmick

Funny thing is tesla probably accounts for half the number. Teslas are not selling in china and are exporting to europe

特斯拉可能就占到这个数字的一半了。特斯拉不在中国销售，都是出口到欧洲的

dec7td

I think it's worth noting that some big car manufacturers stopped exporting to Russia when they started the war and China is seizing on that by ram up exports to them

我认为值得注意的是，一些大型汽车制造商在俄乌战争爆发后叫停了对俄罗斯的出口，而中国抓住这个机会，增加了对俄罗斯的出口

woolcoat

One thing I've noticed is that in the past year or so, China is actually building cars that makes me want them... Yangwang U8, NIO ES8, Li Auto L9, etc.

我留意到在过去一年左右的时间里，中国正在制造让我心动的车型……仰望U8、蔚来ES8、理想汽车L9等。

smiilingpatrick

I'd kill myself before i buy a wholly built chinese car. Doesnt matter if its cheap.

我就算自杀也不会买中国制造的汽车。价格再便宜也不重要。

BannytheBoss

That's a shame. China has bought up a lot of the European manufacturers. In the US they are buying up a lot of the OEM suppliers.

真遗憾。中国收购了很多欧洲汽车品牌。他们正在美国收购了不少OEM供应商。

blackashi

I saw this article and some of the comments were saying that people don't really trust China's reputation, so they will not be a threat, especially in the US and Europe for a long time. That is very wishful thinking. Most of the world does not care about reputation. They care about how cheap can they buy a car that works.

我看了这篇文章，有些人评论说人们对中国的名声其实并不认可，所以在未来很长一段时间内中国不可能成为威胁，尤其是在美国和欧洲。这就是你们一厢情愿的想法罢了。世界上大多数人并不在乎名声。他们在意的是能用多低的价格买到一辆能跑动的车。
