美国西海岸港口未来令人担忧

Worrying future for US west coast ports

US WEST Coast ports, including the Port of Oakland, could be entering a highly turbulent period in the future with the projected slowdown of global trade and with changing manufacturing technologies and increased competition.

These ports have enjoyed decades of success serving as the point of entry for billions of dollars-worth of goods, mostly from China and East Asia. Imports from Asia to the United States generated 9 million American jobs, 4 million in California, oregon and Washington in 2014, according to the Pacific Maritime Association.

美国西海岸港口未来令人担忧

    随着全球贸易的放缓以及制造技术的革新和竞争的不断加剧，包括奥克兰港在内的美国西海岸港口将可能进入一个高度动荡的时期。

    这些港口装卸的数十亿美元的货物主要来自中国和和东亚。根据太平洋海事协会消息，2014年货物从亚洲进口到美国的过程总共产生了900万个岗位，其中400万在加利福利亚、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州。
