中国商务部发布了题为"关于所谓'产能过剩'问题的中方立场"的文件，对外界关于中国产能过剩的指控进行了回应[1]。文件驳斥了"中国内需不足导致产能过剩"的论断，声称这一说法不符合事实[1]。根据文件，中国实物消费量位居全球第一，部分工业品人均年消费量已接近发达国家水准，过去五年人均服务性消费支出年均增长达8.5%[1]。
文件批评有关国家将经贸问题政治化，炒作中国产能过剩问题以制造借口加强限制措施[1]。商务部在文件中指出，产能过剩是市场经济中的动态现象，并呼吁各方推动开放包容的全球产供链合作[1]。
China's Commerce Ministry issued a document on July 28 addressing the issue of industrial overcapacity, refuting external allegations regarding its causes.[1] The ministry rejected the assertion that insufficient domestic demand has led to overcapacity in China, characterizing this claim as inconsistent with facts.[1] According to the statement, overcapacity represents a dynamic phenomenon inherent to market economies rather than a uniquely Chinese problem.[1]
The document emphasized that China maintains the world's largest volume of physical consumption, with per capita annual consumption of certain industrial products already approaching levels seen in developed nations.[1] Over the past five years, per capita spending on services has grown at an average annual rate of 8.5 percent.[1] The ministry accused certain countries of politicizing trade and economic issues by exploiting concerns about Chinese overcapacity as a pretext for implementing restrictive trade measures.[1] The statement called for all parties to promote open and inclusive cooperation in global supply chains.[1]
