产业空洞化，打个比方，我们中国出口产品给美国，由于我们的产品太便宜了，所以使得美国本土的产品失去了竞争力，大批工人失业、下岗。对美国来说这就是产业空洞化。不知道对不对？

其实还有另外一个思考面：当我们的附加值低、物美价廉的产品出现在美国市场，虽然他们的工人失业，但是从另一面可以促使他们发展服务业，集中了人才可以发展附加值高、科技含量高的产品，始终走在产品生命周期的前端。从这个方面说，美国人应该谢谢我们，不应该总喊着逆差！！！

Simply speaking, "hollowing out of industry" is the transfer of domestic factories and jobs to other countries.

An example is Japan. Due to the rapid yen appreciation after "Plaza Accord" in 1985, the competitiveness and profits of Japan's manufacturing sector suffered a lot. Thus, many manufacturing production bases were swiftly transferred overseas, such as to Southeast Asia. The large amount of Japan's outward investment not only resulted in the decline of domestic employment directly, but also induced the great concerns about the possible downward turn of technology levels. That's the so called "hollowing out of industry".

execllent answers. i can't agree with you more.

　产业空洞化，指一个国家或地区的已有产业处于衰退阶段，而新的产业还没有得到发展，或者新的产业发展的不够充分不能弥补已有产业衰退的影响，造成经济陷入不断下降甚至萎缩的现象。在一种经济结构向更高的经济结构转变的过程中，如果新旧产业衔接工作做的不好，一般都会出现产业空洞化现象。

谢谢大家了
