中国南部珠海 —— 当特朗普总统本周抵达中国，与习近平举行高风险峰会之际，从中国企业那里获得投资——包括助力美国现代化工厂建设——预计将是他的优先事项之一。
但如果特朗普希望通过吸引投资帮助蓝领工作岗位回流美国，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者探访的一家大型中国工厂表明，这一机会或许已经错失。
在中国南部珠海郊区一座宽敞的工业建筑内，有一座未来工厂。数百台黄色机械臂沿着1500英尺长的生产线同步运作，每10秒钟就能组装出约4000个空调零部件。
这家工厂隶属于中国最大的空调制造商格力电器，也就是所谓的“黑灯工厂”。它全天候24小时不间断运转，由人工智能控制。
格力总经理陈华东表示，这就是制造业的未来。
“这就是未来智能工厂的样子，到处都是人工智能支持的机器人，”他告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，“并能实时运作。”
在运营的核心控制室里，巨型屏幕实时展示生产、全球销售和配送数据。
格力约60%的产品出口海外，其中北美市场销量可观。
该公司甚至曾在纽约时代广场投放广告。
目前中国占全球制造业总产值的约30%，预计未来四年这一比例将升至近50%。
不过陈华东表示，中国制造业能为西方市场提供的不止产品。
“格力不仅能制造高品质的空调，还能打造高品质的工厂，”他告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。
一座格力这样规模的工厂通常需要雇佣约1万名工人，但这座黑灯工厂仅需1000名员工，其中三分之一是工程师。这真实印证了劳动力市场中机器取代人类的惊人速度。
“我认为未来体力劳动会越来越少，”陈华东对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻说，“但维护人工智能设备所需的技能和工人将会增加……人工智能已经改变了企业的运营方式。”
陈华东的评估是，全球各地的工厂将朝着“高度自动化”发展，机器人将承担越来越多的工作，但“因此未来的生产线将需要大量工程师来设计、规划、安装、检测和维护。这将创造大量就业机会。”
“我们的工人正朝着这个方向转型和升级，”他补充道。
问题是，美国的工人能否做到这一点？

As Trump visits China, will he seek investment to build American “dark factories” of the future?

Zhuhai, southern China — When President Trump arrives in China this week for a high-stakes summit with Xi Jinping, securing investment from Chinese companies — including to help modern American factories — is expected to be on his list of priorities.
But if Mr. Trump is hoping to secure investment to help bring blue-collar jobs back to America, a CBS News visit to a massive Chinese factory suggests that ship may have sailed.
Inside a cavernous industrial building on the outskirts of Zhuhai, in southern China, there’s a factory of the future. Hundreds of yellow robotic arms move in sync along a 1,500-foot assembly line, putting together some 4,000 components every 10 seconds for air conditioning units.
Owned by Gree, China’s largest air conditioning maker, the facility is what’s known as a “dark factory.” It operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, controlled by artificial intelligence.
Gree general manager Chen Huadong says it’s the future of manufacturing.
“This is how future intelligent factories will look like, with AI-supported robots everywhere,” he told CBS News, “working in real time.”
In the nerve center of the operation, giant screens show real-time data on production, global sales and delivery.
About 60% of Gree’s production is exported overseas, including significant sales in North America.
The company has even been advertising in Times Square.
China already accounts for roughly 30% of global manufacturing output overall, and that’s expected to rise to almost 50% over the next four years.
According to Chen, Chinese manufacturing has more to offer Western markets than products, however.
“Gree is not only capable of manufacturing high-quality air conditioners, but also high-quality factories,” he told CBS News.
A factory the size of Gree’s would typically employ around 10,000 workers. But the dark factory only needs 1,000, a third of whom are engineers. It is real-world evidence of the dramatic rate at which machines are replacing humans in the workforce.
“I think in the future, physical work will get less and less,” Chen told CBS News. “But the skills and workers to maintain AI equipment will grow. … artificial intelligence has transformed the way businesses operate.”
Chen’s assessment is that factories around the world will move “toward high levels of automation,” with robots doing more and more of the work, but “as a result, future production lines will require a large number of engineers to design, plan, install, inspect and maintain them. This will create a significant number of job opportunities.”
“Our workers are transitioning and upgrading in this direction,” he added.
The question is, will America’s?
