根据克拉克松公司的统计,尽管中国造船产量还不到日本的一半,但中国造船企业2006年承接新船订单和手持订单均上升至世界第二位,因此,有观点认为,中国“已开始与日本展开竞争全球第二造船大国的拉锯战”。但据我们的分析,中国造船业与日本造船业实力还相差甚远,尚不能等量齐观。 According to the statistics of Clarke, although China’s shipbuilding production is less than half that of Japan, Chinese shipbuilders took the second place in the world for new ship orders and hand-held orders in 2006. Therefore, there is a view that China “has started to work with Japan to compete in the world’s second largest shipbuilding tug of war. ” However, according to our analysis, the strength of China’s shipbuilding industry and Japan’s shipbuilding industry still lags far behind that of the same amount.
