一项旨在加强美国政府对中国汽车进口禁令的法案的提案方周二表示，目前正在进行相关谈判，以确保德国汽车制造商梅赛德斯-奔驰不会被禁止在美国销售汽车。
A sponsor of a bill to toughen a US government ban on Chinese vehicles said on Tuesday that talks are ongoing to ensure that German automaker Mercedes-Benz is not banned from selling vehicles in the US.
该法案于7月获得了参议院商业委员会的批准，其核心内容是：如果一家公司的股权中中国实体所占比例超过15%，则该公司将被禁止在美国销售汽车。目前，梅赛德斯-奔驰的股权中约有20%来自中国实体。
The bill approved by the Senate Commerce Committee in July would ban companies with more than 15% ownership by Chinese entities from selling vehicles in the U.S. Mercedes-Benz has nearly 20% passive ownership from Chinese entities.
“我们显然不会禁止梅赛德斯-奔驰在美国销售汽车，”共和党议员伯尼·莫雷诺（Bernie Moreno）表示，“不过我们担心：如果他们通过增加持股比例来规避这一限制，是否会对他们的公司造成严重打击？”莫雷诺希望本周能推动该法案获得快速审批，以便在参议院休会（直至11月）之前完成审议，同时他仍在与参议员兰德·保罗（Rand Paul）进行进一步讨论。梅赛德斯-奔驰方面尚未立即对此发表评论。
"What we're not going to do, obviously, is ban Mercedes-Benz vehicles in America," said Republican Bernie Moreno, adding, "there's concern that, can they get to 15% without debilitating their company?" Moreno hopes to try to win fast-track approval for the Chinese vehicle bill this week before the Senate adjourns until November as discussions continue with Senator Rand Paul. Mercedes-Benz did not immediately comment.
莫雷诺还提到，目前正讨论如何确保由中国吉利控股集团（Geely Holding）控股的沃尔沃汽车（Volvo Cars）能够继续在美国销售汽车。“我们正在考虑多种可能性，”莫雷诺说。
Moreno said there were discussions about how to ensure that Volvo Cars majority owned by China's Geely Holding could continue to sell vehicles in the US. "We're looking at a variety of different things," Moreno said.
他还指出，由于该法案的约束，由中国吉利控股集团持有17%股份的阿斯顿·马丁（Aston Martin）以及同样由中国吉利控股集团控股的英国莲花汽车（Lotus）也可能被禁止在美国销售汽车。
Moreno also noted that Aston Martin— 17% owned by Geely and Britain's Lotus, which is majority owned by Geely — both could be barred because of the law.
该法案的另一位主要提案者、民主党参议员埃莉莎·斯洛特金（Elissa Slotkin）上周表示，所有民主党议员都支持推进该法案的通过，只有兰德·保罗反对该法案。她称：“在我看来，支持该法案的议员比例高达99%对1%。”
The bill's other chief sponsor, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin, said last week that all Democrats support moving ahead and only Paul opposes it. "My understanding is it's 99 to 1," she said.
参议员兰德·保罗对路透社表示，他认为该法案是对梅赛德斯-奔驰的不公平打击：“如果他们能将相关条款从法案中删除，我就同意该法案继续推进。法案不应直接针对某一家公司。”目前，该法案在众议院已有超过100位共同提案者支持；汽车制造商及立法机构的相关工作人员也希望该法案能在今年获得最终通过。
Sen. Paul told Reuters he thought the bill was an unfair attack on Mercedes-Benz: "If they take it out of the bill, I told them that he bill can go forward. They need to take it out. A bill shouldn't directly attack one company." The bill has significant momentum and a House version now tops 100 co-sponsors, while automakers and legislative aides hope to win full passage this year.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普本月早些时候对福克斯新闻表示，他愿意允许中国汽车公司在美国生产汽车，这一表态引发了汽车制造商的担忧。汽车制造商、供应商和经销商纷纷敦促特朗普“继续执行那些严格限制中国汽车公司进入美国市场（无论是销售、进口还是生产汽车）的政策”。2025年初，拜登政府出台了一项法规，实际上禁止所有中国汽车公司在美国销售或生产乘用车，理由是中国汽车公司可能会将敏感的驾驶员数据传输到中国；此外，美国还对中国的电动汽车征收高达100%的关税。
US President Donald Trump told Fox News earlier this month that he would accept Chinese car companies building cars in the US, sparking alarm among automakers. Automakers, suppliers and dealers have urged Trump "to maintain policies that keep the door firmly shut to Chinese automakers seeking to sell, import or manufacture vehicles inside the US." A regulation imposed by the former Biden administration in early 2025 effectively banned all Chinese automakers from selling or building passenger vehicles in the US because they could send sensitive driver data to China. Washington also maintains more than 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
此前，中国外交部曾敦促美国“尊重市场经济规律和公平竞争的原则”，并批评那些针对中国企业的限制措施是“不合理的压制行为”。中国方面认为，中国汽车之所以在全球市场上受到欢迎，是因为它们在技术创新方面具有优势，这也反映了国内市场的强大竞争力。
The Chinese foreign ministry has previously urged the United States "to respect the laws of the market economy and principles of fair competition," criticizing previous proposals against Chinese companies as "unreasonable suppression." It argues Chinese cars are popular globally because of their technological innovations, reflecting an aggressive home market.
