中国车在美墨边境卖爆:它们将摧毁美国汽车市场

 美国近年来持续加码限制、试图将中国汽车挡在国门之外,但在政策高墙的另一侧,景象却完全不同。


美国《华尔街日报》4月29日发现,在距离美国边境仅5英里(约8公里)左右的墨西哥奇瓦瓦州华雷斯城的一条繁华商业街上,吉利、比亚迪和长城汽车等中国车企的门店比比皆是,吸引了不少消费者。

在一家吉利汽车经销店内,一款纯电EX2颇为吸睛,起售价仅约2万美元。隔壁比亚迪门店外,一辆体型庞大的混动皮卡停在充电桩旁。长城汽车则主打燃油SUV,其中一款车型更是打出“更有坦克范”的宣传口号。

吉利汽车销售人员路易斯·埃尔南德斯介绍说,凭借更具吸引力的价格和更先进的技术,他已经从福特和雪佛兰那里“挖走”了不少老客户。最近,埃尔南德斯向一个墨西哥家庭出售了两辆吉利帝豪车,这款起售价约1.7万美元的车刚好适合他们的2个女儿,用于往返美国得克萨斯州西部埃尔帕索市上大学。

如今,在埃尔帕索,这些设计时尚的中国汽车已开始吸引关注。埃尔南德斯直言,如果中国车被允许在美国销售,“它们将会摧毁美国汽车市场”。

“中国车,让美国车企夜不能寐”

这番话听上去夸张,却已几乎成为美国汽车业高管共识。一些业内人士在接受美媒采访时表示,如果缺乏明确的应对策略,这些价格亲民、技术先进的中国汽车的到来,可能会颠覆每年为经济贡献约1.3万亿美元的美国汽车产业。

“我可以告诉你,竞争非常困难——甚至可以说不可能竞争。”现代汽车社长何塞·穆尼奥斯称,“在我们运营的市场中,我们无法以同样的价格与中国企业竞争,否则就会亏损。”

迄今为止,众多希望进军美国市场的中国车企仍被挡在门外。美国目前对中国汽车征收超过100%的高额关税,已事实上关闭了市场。就算美国消费者从邻国墨西哥购入中国车,相关法规也禁止车辆在美国注册。而且,美国还禁止新车使用与中国相关的软件。

本月,美国3名参议员呼吁特朗普政府禁止在墨西哥和加拿大销售并注册的中国汽车进入美国,众议院数十名议员也发出类似的呼吁。更激进的方案已在酝酿之中,参议院拟通过一项法案直接禁止中国车企在美国建厂。

俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺放话称,他计划提出的法案将“彻底封锁”中国车企——不仅禁止中国汽车从加拿大或墨西哥驶入美国,还将限制美国企业与中国车企合资,并要求拥有美国品牌股份的中国企业在2030年前剥离相关资产。

对于美国的围堵,小鹏汽车副董事长兼联席总裁顾宏地表示,“每当市场面临挑战时,现实是,我们必须找到适应之道。但我们的长期目标是让产品服务尽可能多的客户,包括美国消费者,都能买到我们的产品”。

中国电动车的魅力早已不是秘密。4月初,美国知名汽车网站Edmunds对吉利银河M9进行了系统的技术测试。测试人员对其技术表现感到惊叹,直呼它“领先于目前我们在美国驾驶的车型”,美国汽车制造商确实有理由感到担忧。

《华尔街日报》指出,让美国车企夜不能寐的不仅是电动车,中国大型车企近年来也在加码燃油车和混动车型,更贴近美国市场需求。对美国汽车业而言,这种威胁在近几十年前所未有。

报道称,底特律“三巨头”多年前就已基本放弃了经济型轿车市场,现在严重依赖利润丰厚的SUV和皮卡。去年美国新车销量超过1600万辆,面向消费者的入门级车型却越来越少。目前,美国市场已没有售价低于2万美元的新车,而中国车企正好填补这一空白。

“终有一日,中国车会进入美国市场”

如今,比亚迪、吉利和长城汽车已跻身全球最大汽车制造商之列,并在欧洲和亚洲多地快速抢占市场。在墨西哥,中国品牌汽车已占据约1/4的销量。不久之后,加拿大也将引进数万辆物美价廉的中国电动汽车。

美国联邦法规允许墨西哥居民和双重国籍人士驾驶车辆进入美国,就算车辆并不完全符合美国标准。

21岁的达里奥·阿拉伊扎每周都会驾驶他的比亚迪宋Pro插电混动车,从华雷斯城穿越边境前往埃尔帕索学习飞行。去年秋天,阿拉伊扎以约3.15万美元的价格购入了这辆车。他说,车内科技操作简便,安全气囊的标识同时标注了英文和中文,车内还配备了卡拉OK娱乐设施。

阿拉伊扎说,在这个价位上,没有哪家美国车企能提供同等的产品。

不止在边境,美国消费者对中国汽车的兴趣也在升温。研究机构Strategic Vision的调查显示,约30%的美国购车者愿意考虑中国品牌,这一比例较十年前上升了15个百分点。

埃尔帕索一家汽车经销商的销售人员透露,越来越多顾客开始询问为何没有类似中国车那样便宜的选择。Casa Auto Group首席执行官罗尼·洛文菲尔德认为,在美国新车均价已达5万美元的背景下,消费者对“性价比”的关注正在上升,这给本土车企敲响了警钟。

“当制造商对可负担性不感兴趣,而只关注利益时,我得说,追求短期经济利益、专注高价车型,在我看来这是一种慢性死亡。”他说。

历史上,美国汽车业曾遭遇类似的冲击。上世纪70年代,丰田等日本车企崛起,率先夺走市场份额。随后,韩国品牌现代和起亚进一步削弱了美国本土汽车制造商在经济型轿车市场上的残存优势。通用、福特的市场份额总和从70%急剧下滑,意大利-美国汽车制造商菲亚特克莱斯勒公司在80年代初几乎破产。

大约在那个时期,中国汽车工业才开始起步。起初,美国行业并未重视这一竞争。2011年被问及比亚迪电动车时,特斯拉CEO马斯克甚至大笑回应:“你看过他们的车吗?”

之后,中国持续加大投入,依托关键原材料和供应链优势,不断精进技术,已崛起成全球汽车市场上一股不容忽视的存在。

马斯克在2024年1月的财报电话会议上认真地表示,“中国汽车公司是世界上最具竞争力的汽车公司”。今年1月比亚迪超过特斯拉成为全球最大的电动汽车销售商,美国《商业内幕》当时嘲讽马斯克说,如今他再也笑不出来了。

在这期间,中国汽车品牌也有过几次向美国出口汽车的尝试,但因地缘政治等原因均以失败告终。现在,尽管中国汽车进入美国市场仍面临诸多障碍,但业内人士普遍认为它们终将到来。

甚至从某种意义上来说,中国车已经进入美国市场了。谷歌旗下自动驾驶公司Waymo正与吉利控股集团旗下极氪品牌联合开发新一代自动驾驶出租车。部分中国制造的沃尔沃车型也已出口至美国。美国初创公司Faraday Future也表示,正尝试与中国汽车制造商合作,把相关车型改造成符合美国标准的产品。

“我们想回答的问题是,美国消费者是否错过了什么?”谈及测试的中国车时,Edmunds总编辑阿利斯泰尔·韦弗说,“这款车没有任何地方让人觉得它不适合美国市场。”

在墨西哥华雷斯城的街头,中国汽车已随处可见。对于美国车企而言,这种场景或许只是时间问题。

“他们终将进入美国市场。”日产汽车美洲公司董事长克里斯蒂安·梅尼尔说,“中国人总会找到进入美国市场的办法,这件事一定会发生。”

What Happened?

Qualcomm (QCOM) stock jumped 13% on Monday in pre-market after a report suggested the company is working with OpenAI on smartphone processors.

  • TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a strong track record of accurate supply chain predictions, posted on X that OpenAI is partnering with both Qualcomm and MediaTek to develop chips for smartphones.
  • Luxshare is expected to serve as the exclusive manufacturing partner, with mass production targeted for 2028.
  • The news sent Qualcomm stock up more than 13% in premarket trading.
  • It extended a strong run that had already seen the stock climb 11% on Friday, when the broader semiconductor sector rallied after Intel posted blowout Q1 2026 earnings.

The OpenAI report matters because it suggests a new source of long-term demand. If AI continues to drive smartphone upgrade cycles, chipmakers with a strong mobile processor position — like Qualcomm — stand to benefit directly.

Kuo noted that both Qualcomm and MediaTek could see sustained demand tailwinds as consumers upgrade devices to handle more advanced on-device AI tasks. That thesis aligns closely with Qualcomm’s own strategy, which has centered on building AI-capable chips for smartphones, PCs, and automotive applications.



The news also rattled Apple, which slipped 1.5% on concerns that OpenAI could be developing an alternative to Apple’s in-house chips. A Qualcomm-OpenAI partnership could eventually put competitive pressure on Apple’s tight hardware-software ecosystem.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Qualcomm Stock

The market reaction to this report tells you something important: investors are hungry for catalysts in the semiconductor space, and the OpenAI name still carries enormous weight.

Qualcomm stock had been navigating some near-term headwinds.

  • In its Q1 fiscal 2026 earnings call in February, the company reported record revenues of $12.3 billion and earnings of $3.50 per share.
  • But management flagged a memory shortage as a drag on handset volumes for the year.
  • AI data center demand has pulled DRAM supply away from consumer devices, putting pressure on smartphone build plans — especially in China.

Despite that, the fundamentals of Qualcomm’s business looked solid.

  • Automotive revenue hit a record $1.1 billion, up 15% year over year.
  • IoT grew 9%.
  • Management reaffirmed its long-term diversification targets for fiscal 2029.


The OpenAI news adds a potential new growth layer on top of all that. If the project moves toward mass production in 2028, it could represent a meaningful revenue opportunity for Qualcomm stock beyond its existing design win pipeline.

For investors, the key question now is whether this partnership develops as described. Kuo’s track record lends credibility, but 2028 is still two years away.

In the meantime, Qualcomm stock remains exposed to memory-driven handset softness in the near term.

qcom stock why it goes up 16% after earnings

 Qualcomm (QCOM) stock surged in early 2026, including a notable jump of over 11%–13% in late April 2026, driven by a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) partnership rumors, strong earnings in key sectors, and aggressive capital return programs. Despite some concerns regarding a soft revenue forecast for the second quarter of 2026 due to memory supply issues, investors looked forward to long-term growth driven by AI integration in mobile devices.

Key Drivers for the Stock Rise:
  • OpenAI Partnership Rumors: Reports emerged in April 2026 that Qualcomm is partnering with OpenAI to develop chips for smartphones, with production targeted for 2028. This news fueled excitement about future AI revenue streams and helped the stock jump over 13% in pre-market trading.
  • Strong Earnings and Sector Growth: Qualcomm has been experiencing a rebound in the smartphone market, particularly with Android manufacturers, and is seeing strong growth in its automotive segment.
  • Aggressive Capital Returns: The board authorized a new $20 billion stock buyback program and raised its dividend, signaling confidence in the company's financial health despite short-term challenges.
  • AI Pivot and Diversification: Investors are showing confidence in Qualcomm's strategic shift toward on-device AI and its expansion into automotive and IoT (Internet of Things) markets, reducing its reliance on smartphone handsets alone.
  • Short Covering: Following a period where the stock was pressured by concerns over Apple's, move toward in-house modems and weak China demand, the positive news triggered short covering, amplifying the upward move.
Contextual Factors:
  • Memory Shortage Issues: Management noted that memory supply constraints are affecting smartphone OEM production and influencing the short-term revenue outlook, but investors largely ignored this, focusing on the long-term AI narrative.
  • Valuation: Even after the surge, some analysts considered the stock attractively valued compared to other semiconductor companies in the AI space.
  • The "Sell-the-News" Shift: While some analysts expected a "sell-the-news" scenario due to the weak guidance, the strong capital return and AI potential overpowered the negative outlook.
