“중국산 부품 쓰다 이익 6조 증발” 순이익 84% 급감 터진 BMW, 미국서 수천 대 압류당하며 무너지는 진짜 이유

BMW, the pride of German automobiles that had been riding high earning an annual net profit of 19 trillion won, saw its net profit plummet by 84% in the third quarter of 2024, effectively wiping out 6 trillion won. Amidst a slump in the domestic market of China—its largest market—and a recall of 1.5 million vehicles due to brake defects, the company suffered the unprecedented humiliation of having thousands of finished BMW vehicles seized by customs at a U.S. port. How on earth did things get to this point? It is because a single fingernail-sized electronic component (LAN transformer) among the 30,000 parts that go into a car was manufactured by JWD, a company linked to forced labor in China's Uyghur region, which the U.S. strictly prohibits. Even more devastating is the fact that BMW insisted on continuing imports for four months, claiming to the U.S. Senate that the company was "not on the list," even after being notified of this fact by its suppliers. Faced with the terrifying blade of the 'Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA),' following the past seizure of thousands of Porsches, BMW, caught red-handed while attempting to conceal its operations, has now faced an irreversible rift in trust. However, this chilling supply chain control law is a terrible bill looming over South Korean companies that send more than half of their automobile exports to the United States. Amidst U.S. customs crackdowns skyrocketing by over 15 times and a rejection rate of 77% for Chinese shipments, we have thoroughly analyzed what survival strategies are needed to seize hegemony in the U.S. market.
