中国电动汽车和可再生能源出口的激增正在重塑整个拉丁美洲的贸易格局。该地区各国政府面临抉择：是进口更便宜的中国清洁技术，还是用关税或本地含量规则保护本国制造商。这一两难局面与欧洲和北美已经出现的类似贸易紧张如出一辙。
A surge of Chinese electric-vehicle and renewable-energy exports is reshaping trade patterns across Latin America. Governments in the region face a choice between importing cheaper Chinese clean technology and shielding domestic manufacturers with tariffs or local-content rules. The dilemma echoes similar trade tensions already under way in Europe and North America.
中国出口商正利用国内较低的制造成本和产能过剩，向拉丁美洲运送创纪录数量的电动汽车、电池和太阳能设备。这股廉价清洁技术的流入，使该地区各地的消费者和公用事业公司能够以比许多人此前预期更低的成本，在本十年内获得电动出行和可再生能源电力。
China's exporters are shipping record volumes of electric vehicles, batteries and solar equipment into Latin America, taking advantage of lower manufacturing costs and overcapacity at home. The flow of inexpensive clean technology is giving consumers and utilities across the region cheaper access to electric mobility and renewable power than many expected this decade.
这股激增正迫使各国政府权衡一项艰难的取舍。依赖低成本的中国进口可能加快摆脱化石燃料的转型，但也可能削弱试图建立本国电动汽车和零部件产业的新兴本地制造商，其中多家已游说争取关税或本地含量要求。
The surge is forcing governments to weigh a difficult trade-off. Relying on low-cost Chinese imports could speed up the shift away from fossil fuels, but it also risks undercutting nascent local manufacturers trying to build their own electric-vehicle and component industries, several of which have lobbied for tariffs or local-content requirements.
这一两难局面与欧洲和北美已经上演的贸易摩擦如出一辙，中国的绿色技术出口已在那里引发关税审查。随着中国货物持续运抵，预计拉美政策制定者将在未来几个月权衡类似措施，在气候目标与产业政策关切之间寻求平衡。
The dilemma mirrors trade frictions already playing out in Europe and North America, where Chinese green-tech exports have prompted tariff reviews. Latin American policymakers are expected to weigh similar measures in the coming months, balancing climate goals against industrial-policy concerns as Chinese shipments keep arriving.
