Huawei Technologies, a preeminent Chinese technology conglomerate, has been indicted on charges encompassing technology theft, conspiracy to purloin American trade secrets, wire fraud, and bank fraud, and now confronts a criminal racketeering trial in New York.

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窃取するための陰謀電信詐欺および銀行詐欺などの罪状で起訴されニューヨークにおいて刑事恐喝裁判に直面している

The jury selection proceedings 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 anticipated to take place until Wednesday at the earliest.

開廷陳述は、早くとも水曜日までには行われない見通しである。

The indictment alleges that, in addition to the theft of trade secrets, Huawei and certain of its subsidiaries engaged in transactions with North Korea despite U.S. sanctions, and installed surveillance equipment to aid the Iranian government, which had conducted espionage during the 2009 anti-government demonstrations 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 counsel has moved for the wholesale dismissal of this sweeping criminal indictment, contending in filings submitted to the court that the allegations leveled by the United States are profoundly nebulous and betray a calculated endeavor to extend American jurisdiction extraterritorially with impunity.

ファーウェイの法務担当者はこの広範にわたる刑事訴追の全面的棄却を求めており裁判所に提出した書面において米国側の告発は極めて曖昧模糊としており米国の管轄権を海外へ不当に拡張せんとする企図を露呈していると主張している

In an official statement, the company categorically dismissed the narrative advanced by U.S. prosecutors as an "egregious fabrication."

同社は公式声明において米国検察当局が展開する言説は「明白なる虚偽」であると断じた

The company asserted that it is precisely the sustained investment in innovation, predicated upon an unwavering respect for intellectual property, that has served as the propulsive force behind Huawei's commercial ascendancy.

同社は知的財産の全面的な尊重を前提としたイノベーションへの長期的な投資こそがファーウェイのビジネス上の成功を牽引してきた原動力である」と述べた

Huawei, though preeminent as the world's foremost purveyor of wireless telecommunications infrastructure, finds itself proscribed from vending its equipment to American carriers owing to apprehensions that its operations engender exigent security vulnerabilities.

Moreover, it has been consigned to blacklists by other Western allies, including Canada and the United Kingdom.

Notwithstanding its involvement in the manufacture of smartphones and other consumer electronic devices, the company finds itself wholly ostracized from other spheres of enterprise.

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に携わってはいるものの他の事業領域からは完全に疎外されている

In recent years, as the artificial intelligence boom has galvanized demand for microprocessors, it has likewise forged a formidable incursion into the domain of semiconductor fabrication.

近年では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中半導体製造の分野にも進出を果たしている

The administration of former President Donald Trump articulated national security apprehensions vis-à-vis Huawei and commenced a concerted campaign to persuade Western nations to eschew the company's offerings in the context of next-generation high-speed wireless networks.

The United States unveiled criminal indictments in the early months of 2019 and has subsequently broadened the purview of these accusations incrementally.

The Chinese government contends that the United States administration is engaging in economic coercion, improperly invoking 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

The United States federal prosecutors allege that Huawei Technologies circumvented sanctions against Iran by interposing Skycom, a shell company with its registered headquarters in Hong Kong, through which it sold equipment to the Islamic Republic.

米国連邦検察当局は華為技術(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を介在させることにより対イラン制裁を潜脱して同国向けに機器類を販売したと主張している

Furthermore, with respect to Meng Wanzhou, who serves as the chief financial officer, they have proceeded to lodge criminal charges of fraud, contending that she made false representations to HSBC bank concerning the true nature of the transactions in Iran.

さらに最高財務責任者を務める孟晩舟(メン・ワンチョウ)についてはイランにおける取引の実態に関してHSBC銀行に対し虚偽の説明を行ったとして詐欺罪による刑事告発に踏み切った

As the daughter of Huawei's founder, Ms. Meng was arrested in Canada at the end of 2018 on the basis of an extradition request from the United States; however, in September 2021, she was released through a prisoner exchange transaction of exceptionally high risk, which simultaneously secured the liberation of two Canadians detained within China and her own repatriation.

孟氏はファーウェイ創業者の令嬢として2018年末にカナダにおいて米国による身柄引き渡し要求を根拠に逮捕されたが2021年9月には中国国内に拘束されていたカナダ人2名の解放自身の帰国同時に実現せしめた極めて高いリスクを伴う捕虜交換の取引によって解放されたのである

As part of this arrangement, the United States formally withdrew its extradition request and announced that it would refrain from prosecuting Ms. Meng on charges of fraud.

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旨を表明した。

Huawei Technologies, the world's preeminent manufacturer of networking equipment, is struggling to sustain its market share in the face of sanctions that sever its access to the preponderance of cutting-edge technologies, not least American-made processor chips.

華為技術この世界最大手のネットワーク機器製造企業は、米国製プロセッサーチップをはじめとする先端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占有率の維持に苦心している

Such constraints have, in consequence, impelled the corporation to accelerate the development of its own proprietary computer chips and other sophisticated technologies.

かかる制約は、同社自社製コンピューターチップその他の高度技術の開発を加速させるという帰結をもたらしたのである。
