Huawei Technologies, a major Chinese technology firm, faces a criminal extortion trial in New York, having been indicted on charges including technology theft, conspiracy to steal U.S. trade secrets, and wire and bank fraud.

中国の大手テクノロジー企業である華為技術(ファーウェイ)は、技術窃取米国の営業秘密を盗むための陰謀電信および銀行詐欺などの罪で起訴されニューヨークで刑事恐喝裁判に直面している

The jury selection process commenced on Tuesday afternoon.

陪審員の選任手続火曜日の午後に開始された

Opening statements are not expected to take place until Wednesday at the earliest.

開廷陳述は、早くとも水曜日になるまで行われない見通しである。

The indictment further alleges that, in addition to the theft of trade secrets, Huawei and some of its subsidiaries conducted business with North Korea despite U.S. sanctions, and installed surveillance equipment to aid the Iranian government, which had engaged in espionage during the 2009 anti-government protests in Iran.

起訴状は営業秘密の窃取に加えてファーウェイとその子会社の一部が米国の制裁にもかかわらず北朝鮮と取引し2009年のイラン反政府デモ中にスパイ行為を行ったイラン政府を支援するために監視機器を設置したと主張している

Huawei's legal representatives are seeking the complete dismissal of this sweeping criminal case, arguing in documents submitted to the court that the US allegations are far too vague and constitute an attempt to improperly extend American jurisdiction overseas.

ファーウェイの法務担当者はこの広範な刑事事件の全面的な却下を求めており裁判所に提出した文書において米国側の告発はあまりに漠然としており米国の管轄権を海外へ不当に拡大しようとする試みであると主張している

In a statement, the company asserted that the narrative put forward by US prosecutors is "patently false."

同社は声明の中で米国検察当局が展開する言説は明白に虚偽であると述べた

"Long-term investment in innovation, grounded in the utmost respect for intellectual property, has been the driving force behind Huawei's business success," the company stated.

知的財産最大限に尊重した上でイノベーションへの長期的な投資ファーウェイビジネス成功原動力となってきた」と同社述べた

Although Huawei is the world's largest supplier of wireless telecommunications network equipment, it is barred from selling its devices to US carriers due to concerns that it could pose a threat to national security.

ファーウェイは世界最大の無線通信ネットワーク機器サプライヤーであるものの安全保障上の脅威を及ぼす可能性があるという懸念から米国の通信事業者への機器販売を禁じられている

Furthermore, it has been blacklisted by other Western allies, including Canada and the United Kingdom.

さらにカナダや英国をはじめとする他の西側同盟国からもブラックリストに掲載されている

While the company manufactures smartphones and other consumer electronics, it has been shut out of other business sectors.

同社はスマートフォンやその他の民生用電子機器の製造を手掛ける一方他の事業分野からは締め出されている

In recent years, as the artificial intelligence boom has spurred demand for microprocessors, the company has also expanded into chip manufacturing.

近年人工知能ブームがマイクロプロセッサーへの需要を喚起するなか同社はチップ製造にも進出している

The administration of former President Donald Trump raised national security concerns about Huawei and began urging Western nations to exclude the company's products from next-generation high-speed wireless networks.

ドナルド・トランプ前大統領の政権は、ファーウェイに対する国家安全保障上の懸念提起し次世代高速無線ネットワーク同社の製品含めないよう西側諸国働きかけ始めた

The United States announced criminal charges in early 2019 and has since expanded the scope of those allegations.

米国2019年初め刑事告発発表しその後告発内容を拡大してきた。

The Chinese government contends that the U.S. administration is engaging in "economic bullying" and improperly exploiting national security as a pretext to "suppress Chinese enterprises."

中国政府は米国政府が「経済的いじめ」に従事し国家安全保障を「中国企業を抑圧する」ための口実として不当に利用していると主張している

US prosecutors allege that Huawei sold equipment to Iran through Skycom, a shell company registered in Hong Kong, thereby violating US sanctions.

米国検察当局はファーウェイが香港に登記上の本拠を置くペーパーカンパニーであるSkycomを介して米国の制裁措置に違反しつつイラン向けに機器を販売したと告発している

Furthermore, they indicted the chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, on fraud charges for allegedly making false statements to HSBC regarding transactions in Iran.

さらに最高財務責任者である孟晩舟(メン・ワンチョウ)についてはイランにおける取引に関してHSBC銀行に虚偽の説明を行ったとして詐欺罪で起訴した

Ms. Meng is the daughter of Huawei's founder and was arrested in Canada at the end of 2018 at the request of the United States for extradition.

孟氏はファーウェイ創業者の娘であり2018年末にカナダで米国の引き渡し要求により逮捕された

However, in September 2021, she was released through a high-risk prisoner exchange that enabled the release of two Canadians detained in China and her own return home.

しかし2021年9月中国に拘束されていたカナダ人2人の解放自身の帰国を可能にするリスクの高い捕虜交換によって解放された

As part of this arrangement, the United States announced its intention to withdraw the extradition request and refrain from prosecuting Ms. Meng on fraud charges.

この取引の一環として米国は引き渡し要求を撤回し、孟氏に対する詐欺罪の起訴を見送る方針を表明した

Huawei, the world's largest manufacturer of networking equipment, is struggling to maintain its market share as a result of sanctions that cut off its access to most US-made processor chips and other technologies.

世界最大のネットワーク機器メーカーであるファーウェイは、米国製プロセッサーチップその他の技術の大半へのアクセスを遮断する制裁措置によって市場シェアの維持に苦心している

These constraints have served as a driving force, compelling the company to accelerate the development of its own computer chips and other cutting-edge technologies.

こうした制約が同社に自社製コンピューターチップその他の先端技術の開発を加速させる原動力となったのである
