The racketeering conspiracy trial against Huawei Technologies commenced on Wednesday in New York, where federal prosecutors accused the Chinese technology behemoth of perpetrating a litany of offenses, such as purloining technology from American corporations, abusing the United States financial system, and aiding Iran in surveilling its own citizens.

針對華為技術公司敲詐勒索共謀審判週三於紐約揭開序幕聯邦檢察官指控這家中國科技巨擘犯下一連串罪行諸如竊取美國企業之技術、濫用美國金融體系,以及襄助伊朗監視其本國公民

Although Huawei stands as the world's largest supplier of wireless telecommunications network equipment, it has been barred from selling equipment to American telecom carriers owing to concerns that it might pose a security risk; moreover, the company has likewise been blacklisted by other Western allies, including Canada and the United Kingdom.

華為雖貴為全球規模最鉅之無線電信網路設備供應商然因外界憂慮其恐構成安全風險遂遭禁止向美國電信業者出售設備此外該公司亦已被加拿大英國等其他西方盟邦列入黑名單

In his opening statement to the Brooklyn jury, Taylor Stout, a prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice, asserted that the government would present evidence proving that Huawei had committed multiple crimes over a span of twenty years.

美國司法部檢察官泰勒·斯托特於開庭陳述中向布魯克林陪審團聲稱政府將舉證證明華為於二十年間犯下多項罪行

However, defense attorney Brian Heberlig rejected the aforementioned allegations, contending that prosecutors, relying on isolated anecdotes and the misconduct of a handful of individuals among Huawei's approximately 200,000 employees across 170 countries, had simply portrayed the company and its three subsidiaries as a corrupt criminal enterprise.

然而,辯護律師布萊恩·赫伯利格對上述指控予以駁斥,主張檢察官係憑藉零星之軼事,以及華為於170個國家、約20萬名員工中少數個別人士之若干不當行徑,即逕將該公司及其三家子公司刻畫為腐敗之犯罪企業。

Herbrugge stated: "No criminal blueprint exists."

赫伯利格表示:「犯罪藍圖並不存在。」

He stressed that the jurors ought to bear in mind that "all those implicated in this case are real people, whose careers and integrity hang in the balance."

他強調陪審員理應銘記,「本案所涉者皆為真實之人其職業生涯與正直品格均繫於此。」

Herbellig pointed out that jurors should bear in mind, "What is at stake in this case are real, living people, whose careers and integrity hang in the balance."

赫伯利格指出,陪審員應謹記,「本案中涉及的是活生生的人,他們的職業生涯和誠信正直都岌岌可危。」

The first witness called by the prosecution was Parham Bakhshti.

檢察官傳喚的首名證人帕勒姆·巴赫什提

He grew up in Iran, subsequently relocated to the United States to pursue his studies, and was naturalized as an American citizen in 2000.

此人於伊朗成長其後移居美國求學並於2000年歸化為美國公民

Bakhshti moved back to Iran in 2003 in order to be closer to his wife's family; he testified that it was not until 2009, while he was employed at a small yet rapidly expanding company that was bringing the internet to remote corners of Iran, that he first became aware of this technology giant, and that he subsequently furnished the American government with confidential information concerning its dealings with Huawei.

巴赫什提於2003年遷返伊朗以便與妻子家人更為鄰近他作證稱2009年任職於一家規模雖小卻快速擴張正將網際網路引進伊朗偏遠角落的公司始悉此一科技巨擘嗣後遂向美國政府提供其與華為往來之機密

Bakhsheti stated that he was initially deeply exhilarated by the prospect of endeavouring to introduce internet access to small Iranian cities, yet subsequently became progressively convinced that Huawei would not extend a helping hand.

巴赫什提表示他起初對於嘗試將網際網路接取引介至伊朗小城市一事深感振奮然而其後卻逐漸確信華為不會伸出援手

He remarked, "They appear utterly indifferent to the matter.

他說道:「他們似乎對那件事漠不關心

They have their own agenda."

他們自有其盤算。」

He recounted that during a meeting with Huawei employees, he was struck by the realization that this Chinese company was pitching a system for "analyzing (Iranian) people and their online behavior," a matter that left him deeply "angry."

他敘述道在一次與華為員工的會議中他赫然意識到這家中國企業正推銷一套分析(伊朗)人民及其線上行為的方案此事令他深感「憤怒」。

Bakhshti claims that in 2011 he learned he was under investigation and consequently left Iran without delay.

巴赫什提聲稱,他於2011年獲悉自己正遭受調查,遂旋即離開伊朗。

In his opening statement, Herbrig told the jurors that they would eventually see through the unreliable prosecution witnesses he had described and would conclude that "the government's case does not hold up."

赫伯利格於開庭陳述中向陪審員表示他們終將識破他所描繪之檢方不可靠證人的真面目,並會認定政府的說法站不住腳」。

He added that they would discover that some of the testimony against the company stemmed from "old grudges."

他復稱他們將會發現若干針對該公司之證詞係源於舊怨」。

He scoffed at the prosecutors' intention to present evidence in court purporting to show that a Huawei employee had photographed a rival company's products at a trade show, and observed that the government had omitted to mention that Huawei had promptly dismissed the employee for this "foolish act."

他譏誚檢察官擬於法庭上出示證據以證明一名華為員工在商展活動中攝下競爭對手公司產品之照片,並稱政府並未提及華為已迅即以此一「愚蠢行為」將該員工解職

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

赫伯利格指出,此並非「全公司共謀」之佐證;他將華為之驚人成長歸功於其在工程、投資、創新及競爭方面之卓越成就。

Huawei began as a manufacturer of mobile phones and other consumer electronics, yet its other business lines have been severed.

華為以製造手機及其他消費電子產品起家,其餘業務線已遭截斷

More recently, thanks to the artificial intelligence boom that has driven up demand for microprocessors, Huawei has expanded its reach into the field of chip manufacturing.

晚近人工智慧熱潮推升微處理器需求之賜,華為已將版圖拓展至晶片製造領域

During US President Donald Trump's first term, his administration raised national security concerns about Huawei and set about lobbying Western allies to exclude the company's products from the build-out of next-generation high-speed wireless networks.

在美國總統唐納·川普首屆任期內其政府即對華為拋出國家安全層面的疑慮並著手遊說西方盟邦促其將該公司產品排除於下一代高速無線網路建置之外

The US side announced related criminal charges in early 2019 and subsequently broadened the scope of those charges further.

美方於2019年初宣布相關刑事指控其後復進一步擴增指控範圍

Chinese officials assert that the United States is flagrantly engaging in "economic bullying" and is improperly invoking national security as a pretext for "suppressing Chinese enterprises."

中國官員聲稱,美國正肆行「經濟霸凌」,並將國家安全不當地援引為「打壓中國企業」之託辭。
