As China tensions simmer, Japan pulls back from "world's factory"
TOKYO (Reuters) - Almost a quarter of Japanese manufacturers are rethinking their investment plans in China and some may shift future production elsewhere after the spike in tensions between Asia's two largest economies.
东京(路透社)——差不多有四分之一的日本投资者正在思考他们是否还要继续在中国投资,有些日本投资者在未来可能会投资其他国家,因为两个的关系一直处于紧张的态势。
The investment by over 20,000 firms created over 1.6 million jobs as Japanese companies looked to take advantage of low production costs and then China's potential as a surging market for everything from cars to cosmetics.
日本有超过2000家的公司在中国投资,创造了160万个就业机会,日本公司看重的是中国的廉价劳动力和巨大的市场。
Now, sentiment has turned. When asked if their attitude toward using China as a production hub over the medium term had changed, 37 percent of Japanese companies surveyed said they had grown more cautious.
但是现在情况不同了。当被问及在中短期内是否还会继续在中国投资时,有37%的日本投资者说他们现在变得更加小心了。
