广州 — — 配备摄像头和其他先进技术的咖啡机、空气炸锅和烧烤架在中国最大的贸易会上亮相,出口商们正面临生产成本上升和贸易关系脆弱的挑战,试图扩大其海外业务版图。
GUANGZHOU -- Coffee machines, air fryers and barbecue grills equipped with cameras and other advanced technologies were on display at China's biggest trade fair, as exporters grappling with rising production costs and fragile trade relations seek to expand their overseas footprint.
本届广交会周四开幕,恰逢中国出口强劲增长的背景,这一增长主要由高科技产品拉动,减轻了政策制定者刺激国内需求以实现国家经济增长目标的压力。
The biannual Canton Fair kicked off Thursday against the backdrop of robust growth in China's exports, driven by high-tech products that have eased pressure on policymakers to stimulate domestic demand to meet the country's economic growth target.
顶峰智能制造是广州展会的32,000家参展商之一。该公司正在展出一款人工智能驱动的空气炸锅,该产品通过摄像头识别食品内部情况,并根据指令进行烹饪。该产品尚未上市,但该公司员工邹晶雯表示,该产品已吸引中东地区客户的浓厚兴趣。该公司总部位于湖南省中部城市邵阳。
Topim Intelligent Manufacturing is among the 32,000 exhibitors at the fair in Guangzhou. It is showcasing an artificial intelligence-powered air fryer that uses a camera to identify the food inside and cook it according to instructions. The product has yet to hit the market, but Jingwen Zou, an employee at the company, which is based in the central city of Shaoyang, said it has already attracted strong interest from customers in the Middle East.
咖啡机制造商吉米莱推出了一款配备平板电脑的意式咖啡机,平板上内含咖啡师可点击的配方,无需像传统欧洲机器那样手动调整设备。公司发言人表示,这使得经验较少的咖啡师也能更轻松操作,并补充称吉米莱已推出面向东南亚咖啡馆的小型产品。
Coffee machines maker Gemilai has introduced an espresso machine with a tablet featuring recipes that baristas can tap to prepare drinks, rather than manually adjusting the settings as they would on traditional European machines. This makes the machine easier to use for less experienced baristas, a company spokesperson said, adding that Gemilai has launched smaller products aimed at cafes in Southeast Asia.
服务机器人展馆外排起了长队,该展馆是在今年4月的上届广交会上首次亮相的。总部位于杭州的润图机器人展出了一款重185公斤的球形机器人,称其可用于警察巡逻。一名参展商在10月15日的广交会上推广炊具。

尽管高科技产品为熟悉技术的用户提供了更大便利,但在日常产品中嵌入摄像头、传感器和软件也给出口商带来了风险。例如,美国监管部门曾阻止某些高科技机器人的进口。
Although high-tech products offer greater convenience for tech-savvy users, embedding cameras, sensors and software in everyday products poses risks for exporters. U.S. regulators, for example, have blocked imports of certain high-tech robots.
“AI应用似乎仍处于实验阶段,”一家咖啡机制造商的一名不愿具名的员工表示。“不清楚AI是否能让咖啡味道更好。”据花旗银行(Citi)称,包括半导体、智能手机和电力变压器在内的AI相关出口,占中国上半年出口总额的约38%,而2025年全年为20%。
"It seems like AI applications are still in an experimental stage," said an employee at a coffee machines maker who asked not to be named. "It's unclear whether AI will make the coffee taste better." AI-related exports, including semiconductors, smartphones and power transformers, accounted for about 38% of China's total exports in the first half of the year, up from 20% in all of 2025, according to Citi.
“我们发现了大量供应商和大量可能性,”一名寻找小家电的法国买家表示。
"We found lots of suppliers and lots of possibilities," said a buyer from France looking for small appliances.

上周,欧盟和中国的贸易官员在北京会晤,同意“稳定”双边贸易关系。欧盟领导人周四启动了一场峰会,预计将讨论削减欧盟与中国不断扩大的贸易逆差的措施。
Trade officials from the European Union and China met in Beijing last week and agreed to "stabilize" their trade relations. EU leaders kicked off a summit on Thursday where they are expected to discuss measures to reduce the bloc's ballooning trade deficit with China.
分析人士称,中国国家主席习近平和美国总统唐纳德·特朗普上个月会晤时同意将贸易休战延长两个月,至1月10日,这一延长期远短于北京据报道所寻求的期限。两位领导人预计将于11月在深圳再次会晤。
Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump, at their meeting last month agreed to extend their trade truce by two months, until Jan. 10, a much shorter extension than Beijing had reportedly sought, according to analysts. The two leaders are expected to meet again in Shenzhen in November.
与此同时,中国制造商正面临因油价高企导致的生产成本上升问题。衡量出厂价格的生产者价格指数9月同比上涨5%,而消费者价格指数小幅上涨0.9%,表明供应商难以将成本上升转嫁给中国消费者。
Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturers are struggling with rising production costs stemming from high oil prices. The producer price index, which measures prices at the factory gate, jumped 5% on the year in September, while the consumer price index edged up 0.9%, indicating suppliers are having difficulty passing on rising costs to Chinese consumers.
随着中国供应商为海外客户展开激烈竞争,出口利润率也承受压力。“我每次来这里,都看到更多供应商,”广东温堡科技的一名员工Grace说,该公司是一家体秤制造商。该公司每只售价约7.20美元的浴室秤,成本正在上升,但她表示:“如果涨价,客户可能不接受。”
Export margins are also under pressure as Chinese suppliers compete intensely for overseas customers. "Every time I come here I see more suppliers," said Grace, an employee at Guangdong Winburg Technology, a scale manufacturer. The cost of bathroom scales, which the company sells for about $7.20 each, is rising, but she said, "If we increase the price, customers may not accept it."
