英國宣佈禁用華爲5G設備 華爲迴應
當地時間7月14日，英國首相鮑里斯·約翰遜就華爲參與英國5G建設的問題作出最終決定，正式宣佈移除華爲5G設備時間表。華爲當天迴應稱，這一決定令人失望，對英國所有手機用戶來說都是個壞消息，可能會“讓英國落入數字發展的慢車道”。
Chinese technology company Huawei said Tuesday that the British government's move to ban the company's involvement in the country's 5G networks is a "disappointing decision" which "threatens to move Britain into the digital slow lane, push up bills and deepen the digital divide."
中國科技公司華爲本週二（7月14日）表示，英國政府禁止華爲參與5G網絡的決定“令人失望”，可能會“讓英國落入數字發展的慢車道，增加消費者的通信開支，並加深數字鴻溝”。
"This disappointing decision is bad news for anyone in the UK with a mobile phone," said Edward Brewster, a spokesperson for Huawei UK in a statement.
華爲英國發言人愛德華·布魯斯特在一份聲明中表示：“這一令人失望的決定對英國所有手機用戶來說都是個壞消息。”
"Instead of 'levelling up', the government is levelling down and we urge them to reconsider. We remain confident that the new US restrictions would not have affected the resilience or security of the products we supply to the UK," Brewster said.
布魯斯特說：“此舉非但不能提高，反而會降低英國的發展水平，我們敦促政府重新考慮這一決定。我們有信心，美國的新管制措施不會影響我們爲英國提供的產品的韌性和安全。”
"Regrettably our future in the UK has become politicized, this is about US trade policy and not security.
“遺憾的是，華爲在英國的未來發展被政治化，此舉源於美國貿易政策，而不是安全問題。”
"We will conduct a detailed review of what today's announcement means for our business here and will work with the UK government to explain how we can continue to contribute to a better connected Britain," said Brewster.
布魯斯特說：“我們將仔細審視今天的聲明對華爲未來英國業務的影響，並與英國政府溝通，闡明我們會如何繼續助力英國構建更好的網絡聯接。”
The British government announced on Tuesday that the UK will ban Chinese telecommunications company Huawei from supplying kit for 5G networks from the end of this year.
英國政府本週二宣佈，從今年年底起，英國將禁止電信運營商購買華爲5G設備。
UK Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Oliver Dowden said that the government has also committed to the removal of existing Huawei equipment from British networks by 2027.
英國數字化、文化、媒體和體育大臣奧利弗·道登表示，政府還承諾在2027年前將現有華爲5G設備從英國網絡中移除。
"This has not been an easy decision, but it is the right one for the UK telecoms networks, for our national security and our economy, both now and indeed in the long run," he said.
他說：“這不是一個容易的決定，但對於英國電信網絡、我們的國家安全和我們的經濟來說，無論是現在還是長期而言，這都是一個正確的決定。”
Because the US sanctions only affect future equipment, the government has been advised there is no security justification for removing 2G, 3G and 4G equipment supplied by Huawei.
由於美國的制裁只會影響未來的設備，英國政府得到建議稱，沒有任何安全理由移除華爲提供的2G、3G和4G設備。
China's ambassador to the UK said the decision was "disappointing and wrong".
中國駐英國大使劉曉明表示，這一決定是“令人失望和錯誤的”。
"It has become questionable whether the UK can provide an open, fair and non-discriminatory business environment for companies from other countries," tweeted Liu Xiaoming.
劉曉明在推特上寫道：“英國能否爲其他國家的企業提供一個開放、公平、非歧視的商業環境，這值得商榷。”
The move comes as United States sanctions on Huawei, set for activation in September, threaten to disrupt the Chinese company's supply chain.
美國針對華爲的制裁措施將於今年9月啓動，這可能會破壞華爲的供應鏈。
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson held a meeting with his national security council on Tuesday morning, where he was advised that the sanctions would impact the reliability of Huawei as a 5G provider.
英國首相鮑里斯·約翰遜本週二上午主持了國家安全委員會會議，會上有人認爲，美國的制裁措施將影響華爲作爲5G供應商的可靠性。
"The UK can no longer be confident it will be able to guarantee the security of future Huawei 5G equipment," Dowden said in Parliament.
道登在議會表示：“英國不再有信心保證未來華爲5G設備的安全。”
"From the end of this year, telecoms operators must not buy any 5G equipment from Huawei."
“從今年年底開始，電信運營商不得從華爲購買任何5G設備。”
Dowden conceded that the move would come at great cost to the UK's economy and would significantly hold up 5G development. He estimated that the ban will delay the roll out of 5G in Britain by two to three years at a cost of 2 billion pounds.
道登承認，此舉將給英國經濟帶來巨大損失，並將嚴重阻礙5G網絡的發展。他估計，此舉會導致英國5G的推出延後兩到三年，並付出20億英鎊（約合人民幣176億元）的代價。
Shadow Digital Secretary Chi Onwurah said the government had created a "car crash for the digital economy" in its handling of Huawei.
影子內閣數字大臣齊·昂烏拉表示，政府對華爲的有關決定造成了“數字經濟的車禍”。
昂烏拉直批政府對華爲的有關決定是“令人難以置信地疏忽”，形容這對英國數字經濟發展的影響“如同車禍現場”，“即便從外太空也清晰可見”。她還要求政府擔保，移除華爲5G設備的費用不會由消費者來承擔。
