美国军方宣布，在其位于日本的战略要地嘉手纳空军基地，禁止使用中国电动汽车巨头比亚迪制造的车辆，理由是担心这些车辆出现在美国在太平洋最重要的军事设施之一会带来安全隐患。
The US military has announced a ban on vehicles manufactured by Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD at its strategic Kadena Air Base in Japan, citing security concerns over their presence at one of Washington's most important military installations in the Pacific.
韩国联合通讯社报道，该限制将于周一在日本冲绳岛的该空军基地生效。
The restrictions will take effect on Monday at the air base on Japan's Okinawa island, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.
此举源于担忧：现代汽车安装的摄像头、传感器和GPS系统可能被用来收集或泄露敏感信息。
The move comes amid concerns that cameras, sensors and GPS systems installed in modern vehicles could potentially be used to collect or leak sensitive information."
“基地发言人、中校艾莉·斯托默表示：“这些车辆对我们的人员和任务构成了不可接受且无法缓解的风险。”
These vehicles present an unacceptable and unmitigable risk to our personnel and our mission," base spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Alli Stormer said.
然而，斯托默并未具体说明是什么特定安全威胁促使基地指挥官下令禁止中国制造的电动汽车。嘉手纳空军基地为何具有战略重要性？
However, Stormer did not specify what particular security threat prompted the base commander to impose the ban on Chinese-made electric vehicles. Why is Kadena Air Base strategically important?
嘉手纳空军基地是美军在太平洋最重要的设施之一。它位于日本西南岛链上，紧邻东海，在任何涉及中国、俄罗斯或朝鲜的潜在军事对抗中都将发挥关键作用。据彭博社报道，该基地被认为是美国空军在东亚最大的设施，驻扎着约2万名美国人，并储存着价值约8.36亿美元的弹药。
Kadena Air Base is one of the US military's most important installations in the Pacific. It sits along Japan's southwestern island chain, near the East China Sea, and would play a crucial role in any potential military confrontation involving China, Russia or North Korea. The base, considered the largest US Air Force installation in East Asia, hosts around 20,000 Americans and houses munitions worth approximately $836 million, a report in Bloomberg had said.
根据基地官网介绍，嘉手纳基地还部署有战斗机，以及用于空中加油、监视和侦察行动的飞机。
According to the base's website, Kadena also hosts fighter jets and aircraft used for aerial refuelling, surveillance and reconnaissance operations.
其军事能力包括“泰丰”导弹系统，据报道可发射“战斧”巡航导弹打击最远1600公里外的目标，使中国和俄罗斯的部分地区处于打击范围之内。
Its military capabilities include the Typhon missile system, which can reportedly launch Tomahawk missiles at targets up to 1,600 kilometres away, bringing parts of China and Russia within striking range.
鉴于其战略位置和军事资产，对车载技术可能引发信息泄露的担忧已成为最新限制措施背后的一个关键因素。比亚迪被指与中国军方存在关联这项禁令是在五角大楼6月采取行动之后出台的，当时五角大楼将比亚迪和另外几家中国大型企业列为据信支持中国军方的企业。
Given its strategic location and military assets, concerns over potential information leaks through vehicle-mounted technology have become a key factor behind the latest restrictions.BYD accused of having China military linksThe ban follows an earlier move by the Pentagon in June, when it designated BYD and several other major Chinese companies as firms believed to be supporting China's military.
据路透社报道，这份名单还包括电商巨头阿里巴巴、互联网公司百度和电动汽车制造商蔚来。比亚迪当时拒绝接受这一认定，并表示将寻求行政和法律途径以维护自身利益。
The list also included e-commerce giant Alibaba, internet company Baidu and electric vehicle manufacturer NIO, Reuters reported. BYD rejected the designation at the time and said it would explore administrative and legal options to protect its interests.
最新限制措施出台之际，比亚迪正继续扩大其国际业务。这家中国汽车制造商于2025年超越特斯拉，成为全球最大的纯电动汽车销售商。
The latest restrictions come as BYD continues expanding its international presence. The Chinese automaker overtook Tesla to become the world's largest seller of battery-electric vehicles in 2025.
日本是比亚迪寻求巩固立足点的市场之一。7月，该公司在日本推出Racco电动微型车，希望在传统上由本土制造商主导的汽车市场中参与竞争。中国对特斯拉的限制美国此举也是在中国此前对美国电动汽车制造商特斯拉实施类似安全限制的背景下出台的。
Japan is among the markets where BYD is seeking to strengthen its foothold. In July, the company launched its Racco electric minicar in the country, hoping to compete in an automobile market traditionally dominated by domestic manufacturers. China's restrictions on TeslaThe US move also comes against the backdrop of similar security restrictions previously imposed by China on American electric vehicle maker Tesla.
2021年，由于担心车辆上安装的摄像头可能构成安全风险，北京禁止特斯拉汽车进入部分政府大院。
In 2021, Beijing barred Tesla vehicles from entering certain government compounds over concerns that cameras installed in the cars could pose security risks.
然而，在特斯拉获得中国主要汽车行业协会的认可后，中国于2024年解除了这些限制。
However, China lifted those restrictions in 2024 after Tesla received an endorsement from the country's leading automobile industry association.
