1
China is a giant threat.
2
And I am really struck.
3
When I talk to some of your colleagues at the top of this commission,
4
they talk about the threat that China's cheap exports flooding the world
5
are so large that you could be talking about the destruction of entire sectors of European industry in a very few years.
6
Is that the level of threat that you see?
7
I think that that's clearly the perception and I think we have also the figures clearly to underpin it.
8
I'm very open about the fact that the trade as we have it right now between China and Europe is simply unsustainable.
9
I mean, we cannot create deficit 1 billion euros a day.
10
That's right, right?
11
The trade deficit is running at 1 billion euros a day.
12
1 billion euros a day.
13
And we see that
14
if you look just from top of my head over the last five years
15
that the Chinese export increased by something like 50% and our exports to China decreased by 30%.
16
On top of it, we see that a lot of European companies is kind of squeezed out from the third market.
17
So really, that's what you would call in basketball the full court pressing.
18
And therefore, I believe that we also need very firm,
19
regular, structural engagement with Chinese counterparts how to deal with that,
20
because clearly we have a huge trade with them.
21
We are faced with a lot of problems.
22
And I want, again, to prevent some kind of additional drama with the structured engagement,
23
because I believe it's clearly necessary.
24
But to take a step back,
25
I mean, dialogue is great dialogue is lovely,
26
but it's pretty clear that China's ambition,
27
it's not just about arguments about this or that market access.
28
China currently makes, it's 30% of all global industrial production is in China.
29
The UN's estimate is that goes to 45% by the end of this decade.
30
So almost half of everything made in a factory in the whole world we've made in China,
31
and yet they only consume 13% of global production.
32
So that is an extraordinary amount of stuff that has to go somewhere.
33
America's closing itself off.
34
You're the last open rich world market.
35
I mean your outgoing top trade officials said this is an imbalance that the world cannot digest.
36
So dialogue is great but don't you actually have to threaten really serious measures?
37
You know new instruments, the overcapacity instrument people talk about or even you know
38
I think that in my experience I really believe that people
39
and partners react better to engagement than to threats and
40
that I'm sure that I will use this approach until I conclude my public service.
41
And I think that what's very clear and I can tell you that we are not shy
42
about how we are messaging this to our Chinese counterparts,
43
or we would have to resort to more of these safeguards measures simply to protect the European market.
44
But what I can also say is that we'll be always respecting international trading law,
45
WTO methodology, and we will do it in a very transparent way.
46
But there's a gap, isn't there,
47
between you describing this absolutely unsustainable flood of Chinese exports into Europe and kind of not wanting to have confrontations,
48
wanting to keep dialogue going.
49
So let's talk about a recent Chinese threat.
50
If you want to have a Chinese factory in Europe,
51
you have to use European components,
52
you have to hire European workers and you have to transfer technology.
53
You're trying the same kind of jujitsu move on China that China used on Western companies so successfully 20,
54
30 years ago.
55
What was China's response?
56
A threat.
57
There will be countermeasures.
58
This is totally unacceptable.
59
So China is ready to fight tough.
60
Are you ready to take some pain to show China
61
that they have to play a different game if they want to keep access to European markets to invest in Europe?
62
I think that I would really advise against any threats or any...
63
But they're the ones making the threats.
64
They make the threats on 27th of April.
65
So what do you do?
66
What you do is that we of course are very clear about the fact
67
that we are going to fight tooth and nail for every factory,
68
for every job in the European Union.
69
And I was very very clear about that,
70
but I would not be sending,
71
you know, the threatening messages over the wires to my Chinese counterparts
72
because I want to talk to them and I want to go through,
73
I would say, the, you know,
74
sectors by sector situation where we clearly have a problem and what are the measures we can undertake together.

一般的な発音の罠
この動画では、特に「exports」や「market」などの単語が重要です。これらの言葉は、正確な発音が必要ですが、英語のリズムにも注意を払うことが大切です。また、「China」や「Europe」の発音も難しいと感じることがあるでしょう。英語の発音を良くするために、動画を繰り返し聞き、影響を受けたフレーズを実際に口に出してみることで、発音を改善することができます。日本語に直訳せず、音をそのまま覚えることが、シャドーイングの成功につながります。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
