中国是不是也要禁止思科、惠普、摩托罗拉在中国境内运营？
思科、惠普、摩托罗拉以及其它美国主要高科技公司都应该被禁止在中国进行商业活动
——这是我(Rick Merritt, eetimes记者)从八名美国参议员写信要求奥巴马政府对华
为公司进行调查所得到的逻辑推论。
在纽约时报披露的这封信中，共和党参议员建议禁止华为向Sprint/Nextel供应电子通
信设备。他们还建议政府对让华为收购美国公司进行谈判。(在过去，华为曾试图收购
3Com和2Wire。)
对美国工程师而言，华为并不陌生。事实上，在本周于斯坦福大学举办的热门芯片大会
上，在组织者和讲解人员中就能看到华为技术人员的身影。华为公司在美国硅谷设有一
个显眼的办事处。
这些参议员指出华为曾经试图并已经获得来自中国军方的资助经费。我的天(这也算？)
！当然，也许的确有极少数几家美国高科技公司没有参与美国国防高级研究项目署的几
百万美元的项目(而此外有大批美国高科技公司都参与了美国国防高级研究项目署的项
目)。
这些参议员还提出，华为曾经向萨达姆侯赛因在位时期的伊朗和伊拉克提供了通信系统
。当然，(难道)美国就没有支持过现在已经在中国大陆的对手中蓬勃发展高科技企业？
这些参议员在信函中表示，华为实际是计划来盗取美国政府的机密。我想有可能有些人
可能会从中看到这种机会的存在，但对我来说，这仍然是对冷.战主义。并且我假定美
国情报局中不曾有人就窃听北京的电脑、基站或路由器而打入思科、惠普和摩托罗拉。
也许我也很偏执。但我认为，搞清楚华为的某些竞争对手给了这些参议员一些什么好处
会是件有趣的事。

Why China should bar Cisco, Moto and HP
by Rick Merritt
Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola and other major U.S. high tech
companies should be barred from doing business in China. That's the logical
conclusion I would draw from a letter from eight U.S. senators to the Obama
administration asking it to investigate Huawei Technologies.
In the letter obtained by the New York Times, the Republican senators
suggest Huawei is bidding for a deal to supply communications equipment to
Sprint/Nextel. They also suggest the Administration may be negotiating to
let Huawei acquire U.S. companies. (In the past, Huawei tried to buy 3Com
and 2Wire.)
Huawei is not a new name to U.S. engineers. Indeed, its technical people are
among the organizers and presenters at this week's Hot Chips conference at
Stanford, and the company maintains a prominent office here in Silicon
Valley.
The senators note Huawei has ties to and has received funding from China's
army. OMG! Of course there are probably few U.S. high tech firms that have
not participated in multimillion dollar programs at the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency.
They also suggest Huawei has supplied communications systems to Iran and to
Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Of course the U.S. has had no role in fostering
the high tech businesses now flourishing among China's adversaries such as
Taiwan.
The senators' letter suggests Huawei's agenda is to spy on the U.S.
government. I suppose it's possible some people may see opportunities here,
but to me this still smacks of Cold War era commie paranoia. And I suppose
no member of the U.S. intelligence community has ever approached Cisco, HP
or Motorola about bugging a PC, basestation or router in Beijing.
Perhaps I am paranoid, too. But I think it would be interesting to trace
what donations certain Huawei competitors have made to these senators. |
