獨家:華為員工聯名上書要求公平競爭
????本人目前在華為公司工作。該公司總部位于中國,是一家年營業收入達280億美元、擁有120,000名員工的跨國電信公司。公司為全球140多個市場提供信息與通信技術解決方案。全球50大電信服務提供商中,有45家采用了華為的信息與通信技術。 ????盡管華為在美國已經取得了一定的發展,但是由于華為的中國背景引發的所謂的“國家安全顧慮”,公司在美國開展業務的能力不時遭到挑戰。但實際上,類似的顧慮從未有過任何實證,而且華為也從未從享受到正當法律程序帶來的保障。華為無法理解公司受到的種種指控,也無從為自己辯護。 ????2011年11月17日,美國眾議院情報委員會宣布,將對中國電信設備制造商提供給美國運營商的解決方案進行調查,查證它們是否為間諜行為打開了方便之門,是否威脅到美國的關鍵基礎設施。該委員會主席明確提出,華為將成為此次調查的目標。 ????針對網絡安全的顧慮確實存在,但是鑒于所有供應商提供的電信解決方案都是全球性的產物,不僅包含中國,還包括世界其他地區的數據源和代碼,因此,安全考慮應當針對所有電信解決方案供應商。就這一點而言,情報委員會應對全球供應鏈所帶來的威脅進行開放的、全面的、基于事實的考慮,而不是僅僅針對集成商或終端解決方案供應商。而且,這樣的方式可以催生一個真正非政治性的解決方案,為美國的網絡、數據和聽信服務連續性提供安全保護,同時維護市場競爭。 ????作為您的選民<若收件人為不在同一選區的情報委員會會員,則可用“一名美國公民”>,我吁請您敦促情報委員會利用公眾和私營企業專家在電信、安全、競爭和貿易方面的知識,以公平、透明的方式展開審查,進而得出符合事實的結論。 ????誠摯的問候 ????<插入姓名> ????譯者:阿龍/汪皓 |
????I work for Huawei Technologies, a $28 billion, 120,000-person multinational telecommunications company based in China which provides information and communications technology solutions to 45 of the world's top 50 telecommunications service providers in over 140 markets across the planet. ????While Huawei has made modest inroads in the U.S., due to concerns related to our Chinese heritage, our ability to do business in the U.S. has occasionally been challenged due to unspecified "national security concerns." Such concerns have never been substantiated and Huawei has never had the benefit of due process or to know or understand the charges against it or to otherwise defend itself. ????On November 17, 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee announced an investigation into whether China-based telecommunications equipment providers supplying solutions to U.S. operators might somehow facilitate espionage or threaten America's critical infrastructure. The Committee Chairman specifically named Huawei as a target of the investigation. ????Network security concerns are very real, but, given that all telecommunications solutions from every vendor contain global - including Chinese - inputs and code, the concerns apply to each and every vendor. In this regard, the Intelligence Committee investigation offers a unique opportunity for an open, full and fact-based consideration of the threats presented by global supply chains, regardless of the integrator or end-solution provider. Indeed, such an approach will serve to foster true and non-political solutions to securing American networks, data, and communications service continuity, while preserving competition. ????As your constituent <or, "as an American," if addressed to an Intelligence Committee Member not from your District> ????Best regards ????<insert name> |
