Huawei is under siege. Google is restricting parts of its Android operating system to the Chinese telecoms tech giant. US chipmakers are poised to suspend supplies too. The US move to put the Chinese telecoms flagship on its so-called Entity List — requiring American companies to obtain a government licence to sell to it — is a pivotal moment for the global technology industry. It represents an opening salvo in an emerging new US-China cold war. It is also a serious miscalculation.
華為(Huawei)正在受到圍困。谷歌(Google)禁止這家中國電信科技巨擘獲得Android操作系統的某些部分。美國芯片制造商也準備暫停供應。美國政府將中國的這家旗艦級電信設備制造商列入其所謂的實體名單(要求向其銷售產品的美國企業先申請獲得政府許可證),標志著全球科技產業的一個轉折點。它代表著正在顯現的新的美中冷戰的第一槍。此舉也是一個嚴重的誤判。
