美国商务部长表示，中国已经是世界工厂，现在他们着眼于成为世界科技中心。
China’s plan to transform itself into the global technology nexus is a “frightening” one that puts American intellectual property at risk, US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has said.
“It’s a huge, huge problem,” Ross told a gathering of fabric industry executives yesterday about the repeated theft of technology. “And it’s not going away.” He said Beijing’s development plan — Made in China 2025 — maps out the country’s strategy to dominate “every hot industry” from space to telecommunications to robotics to electric cars.
问题非常，非常严重，罗斯昨天在纺织品行业高层聚会上谈到了重复盗窃技术，他说，北京的2025计划暴露了国家战略就是支配所有的热门工业，从空间技术，电信到机器人和新能源汽车。
“They have been the factory floor of the world, now their vision is to be the technology center for the world,” Ross said.
“What they are really trying to do is take their immense trade surplus from the conventional industries of today…and plow them into semiconductor research and every kind of research you can imagine.” Washington last month threatened steep tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese goods, because of policies it says aim to steal technology, and also filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization.
That ratcheted up tensions between the two countries and they have exchanged increasingly severe tariff threats.
But US President Donald Trump yesterday confirmed that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer would travel to Beijing in “a few days” at China’s request.
Ross also warned the fabric industry representatives on Tuesday that China was even reviewing US patents and filing them in their home country to prevent the legitimate owners of the technology from selling their ideas in China.
He warned them to think about “protecting your own assets” as they try to export their products.
