SYDNEY, Australia — Already essentially shut out of the United States, the Chinese technology giant Huawei is scrambling to salvage its reputation in another country where growing worries over spying and security could hurt its chances at a big chunk of business. 澳大利亚悉尼——已基本被美国拒之门外的中国科技巨头华为,正在另一个国家忙着挽救自己的声誉。在这里,对间谍活动和安全的担忧日渐加剧,可能会损害华为在大量业务上的机会。 In an unusual letter to politicians in Australia made public this week, Huawei defended its status as a longtime supplier of networking gear and other equipment to the country’s biggest telecommunications companies. The letter came after news reports that Australian politicians were likely to shut the firm out of a potentially lucrative contract to upgrade the nation’s mobile network over security concerns. It also followed growing concerns among Australian leaders about Chinese influence in the country. 在本周公开的一封写给澳大利亚政界人士的信中,华为替自己长期为澳大利亚最大的电信公司提供网络设备和其他设备的身份进行了辩护。在这封不同寻常的信出现之前,有资讯报道称,出于安全考虑,澳大利亚政界人士可能会将该公司排除在一份利润可能会相当可观的合同之外。该合同涉及的项目是升级澳大利亚的移动网络。同时,此前澳大利亚领导人对中国在该国的影响力的担忧日渐加剧。 |
