美国中西部地区亦称为美国腹地/心脏地带,指的是美国地理中心、与东西海岸均不相接的内陆地区,被视为传统价值观最根深蒂固的区域,以传统农业、制造业为主要代表产业。该地区包含了自五大湖至墨西哥湾间的20个州,财富1000强企业中有430家总部位于腹地区域的84个城市,全美最大的100个城市中有37个在该地区,其重要城市包括德克萨斯州的奥斯汀市(Austin),俄亥俄州的哥伦布市(Columbus),德克萨斯州的达拉斯-沃斯堡地区(Dallas-Forth Worth),艾奥瓦州的得梅因市(Des Moines),德克萨斯州的休斯敦市(Houston),印地安纳州的印地安那波利斯市(Indianapolis)以及田纳西州的纳什维尔市(Nashville)。该地区支持自由贸易,曾发起“关税伤害美国腹地”的游说行动,呼吁不要向更多中国输美商品加征关税,并警告加征关税将严重破坏全球供应链,伤害美国企业和消费者利益。
The Midwest is a region of the United States known as “America’s Heartland”, which refers to its primary role in the nation’s manufacturing and farming sectors as well as its patchwork of big commercial cities and small towns that, in combination, are considered the broadest representation of American culture. It covers 20 states that stretch from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. 430 Fortune 1000 companies are headquartered in 84 of the cities within the Heartland region. 37 of the 100 largest cities in the United States are in this region.
