Siemens unveils big investments in China and Singapore factories
西门子将在中国和新加坡大举投资
German conglomerate says it needs to diversify to serve more markets in Asia and tackle supply chain issues
这家德国集团在对中国加大押注的同时，也在对冲过度依赖中国的风险，选择新加坡作为其向南亚和东南亚出口的枢纽。
The German industrial conglomerate Siemens has announced significant investments in factories in China and Singapore, as it pursues a strategy of diversifying in Asia while expanding in the Chinese market despite growing geopolitical tensions.
德国工业集团西门子(Siemens)宣布，对中国和新加坡的工厂进行重大投资。尽管地缘政治紧张局势日益加剧，该公司仍在实施在亚洲多元化、同时在中国市场扩张的战略。
Chief executive Roland Busch told a news conference in Singapore on Thursday that Siemens would invest €2bn globally this year to increase its manufacturing capacity, starting with a factory expansion in China and the opening of a high-tech plant in the city-state.
西门子首席执行官博乐仁(Roland Busch)周四在新加坡的一个新闻发布会上表示，西门子今年将在全球投资20亿欧元，以提高其制造能力，首先是在中国扩建工厂，并在新加坡开设一家高科技工厂。
The doubling down on China comes after Busch had described it as a driver of technological innovation, but Siemens is also hedging against overreliance on a country where US restrictions have been making it difficult to operate — by choosing Singapore as a hub for exports into south and south-east Asia.
在对中国加倍下注之前，博乐仁曾将中国描述为技术创新的拉动者，但西门子也在对冲对中国的过度依赖，选择新加坡作为其向南亚和东南亚出口的枢纽。美国的限制令西门子难以在中国开展业务。
