The racketeering conspiracy trial against Huawei Technologies began in New York on Wednesday, with federal prosecutors accusing the Chinese tech company of committing a series of crimes, including stealing technology from American companies, abusing the U.S. financial system, and helping Iran surveil its citizens.

針對華為技術公司敲詐勒索共謀審判週三在紐約展開聯邦檢察官指控這家中國科技公司犯下一連串罪行包括竊取美國公司的技術濫用美國金融體系以及協助伊朗監視其公民

Huawei is the world's largest supplier of wireless telecommunications network equipment, but it has been barred from selling equipment to American telecom carriers due to concerns that it poses a security risk.

華為是全球最大的無線電信網路設備供應商,但由於外界擔心其構成安全風險,華為被禁止向美國電信業者出售設備

It has also been blacklisted by other Western allies, including Canada and the United Kingdom.

它也已被加拿大和英國等其他西方盟友列入黑名單

In his opening statement to a Brooklyn jury, US Department of Justice lawyer Taylor Stout said that the government would prove that Huawei had committed multiple crimes over a period of twenty years.

美國司法部律師泰勒·斯托特在開庭陳述中向布魯克林陪審團表示,政府將證明華為在二十年間犯下多項罪行。

However, defence lawyer Brian Heberlig rejected these allegations, arguing that prosecutors had portrayed the company and its three subsidiaries as a corrupt criminal enterprise based merely on isolated anecdotes and the misconduct of a handful of people among Huawei's roughly 200,000 employees in 170 countries.

然而,辯護律師布萊恩·赫伯利格駁斥這些指控,主張檢察官僅憑零星軼事,以及華為在170個國家約20萬名員工中少數人的若干不當行為,便將該公司及其三家子公司描繪成腐敗的犯罪企業。

Herbellig said, "There is no criminal blueprint."

赫伯利格說:「不存在犯罪藍圖。」

He pointed out that jurors should bear in mind that "there are real people in this case whose careers and integrity are at stake."

他指出陪審員應記住,「本案中是真實的人他們的職業生涯和正直品格都面臨風險。」

The first witness called by the prosecutor was Parham Bakhshti.

檢察官傳喚的第一名證人帕勒姆·巴赫什提

He grew up in Iran, later moved to the United States to study, and became an American citizen in 2000.

在伊朗長大後來移居美國求學並於2000年成為美國公民

Bakhshti moved back to Iran in 2003 in order to be closer to his wife's family; he testified that in 2009, while working for a small but fast-growing company that was bringing the internet to remote corners of Iran, he learned of this tech giant, and afterwards provided the U.S. government with secrets about his dealings with Huawei.

巴赫什提2003年搬回伊朗以便與妻子的家人更近他作證說2009年他為一家規模不大但快速成長正把網際網路帶到伊朗偏遠角落的公司工作時得知這家科技巨頭之後便向美國政府提供有關他與華為往來的秘密

Bakhshti said that at first he was excited to try to bring internet access to small cities in Iran, but later he began to believe that Huawei would not help.

巴赫什提說,他起初很興奮能嘗試把網際網路接取帶到伊朗小城市,但後來開始相信華為不會幫忙。

He said, "They seem completely indifferent to that matter.

他說道:「他們似乎對那件事毫不在意

They have their own agenda."

他們自有其盤算。」

He stated that during a meeting with Huawei employees, he realised that this Chinese company was pitching a system for "analysing (Iranian) people and their online behaviour", which left him feeling "furious".

他表示,在一次與華為員工的會議中,他意識到這家中國公司正在推銷一套「分析(伊朗)人民及其線上行為」的方案,這讓他感到「憤怒」。

Bakhshti stated that he left Iran after learning in 2011 that he was under investigation.

巴赫什提表示,他在2011年獲悉自己正遭到調查之後,便離開了伊朗。

In his opening statement, Haberlig told the jurors that they would see through what he described as the prosecution's unreliable witnesses and would find that "the government's case does not hold up."

赫伯利格在開庭陳述中告訴陪審員他們會看穿他所形容的檢方不可靠證人並會發現政府的說法站不住腳」。

He also said they would find that some of the testimony against the company was motivated by "old grudges."

他還說他們會發現一些針對該公司的證詞是出於舊怨」。

He mocked the prosecutors' intention to present evidence in court to prove that a Huawei employee had photographed a competitor's products at a trade show, and pointed out that the government had failed to mention that Huawei had promptly fired the employee for this "foolish act."

他嘲諷檢察官打算在法庭上出示證據,以證明一名華為員工在商展活動中拍下競爭對手公司產品的照片,並指出政府未提及華為已迅速以這項「愚蠢行為」解雇該員工。

Herbellig pointed out that this was not evidence of a "company-wide conspiracy"; he attributed Huawei's astonishing growth to its achievements in engineering, investment, innovation, and competition.

赫伯利格指出,這並非「全公司共謀」的證據;他將華為驚人的成長歸功於其在工程、投資、創新與競爭方面的成就。

Huawei not only manufactures phones and other consumer electronics; its other business lines have also been cut off.

華為不僅製造手機其他消費電子產品其餘業務線遭切斷

Recently, as the artificial intelligence boom has driven up demand for microprocessors, Huawei has expanded further into the field of chip manufacturing.

近來隨著人工智慧熱潮帶動微處理器需求華為更進一步拓展晶片製造領域

During US President Donald Trump's first term, his administration raised national security concerns about Huawei and began lobbying Western allies not to include the company's products in their next-generation high-speed wireless networks.

在美國總統唐納·川普的首個任期內其政府對華為提出國家安全方面的擔憂並開始遊說西方盟友不要將該公司的產品納入其下一代高速無線網路

The United States announced related criminal charges in early 2019 and subsequently expanded them.

美國於2019年初宣布相關刑事指控此後又擴大了這些指控

Chinese officials stated that the United States engages in "economic bullying" and improperly uses national security as a pretext to "suppress Chinese companies."

中國官員表示,美國從事「經濟霸凌」,並不當地以國家安全為藉口,「打壓中國企業」。
