中国通讯巨头华为在北美已经有了长足的发展,得到了本土运营商像Leap的合同.但很明显,参与投标为第四大运营商提供硬件努力的触动了一些立法者的神经。8名美国参议员签署了一封信中表示了对华为的质疑:华为曾经于无数他们看不惯的东西有联系—从萨达姆侯赛因到伊朗到中国人民解放军。他们说“这样的公司就不应该在美国做生意的”。你已经知道了,同样质疑让华为失去了购买3Com的机会。考虑到中美的政治关系,这无疑是给希望在美国有所发展的中国大企业的当头一棒。
Chinese telecom giant Huawei already has a pretty big (and growing) presence in North America, having previously signed deals with regional carriers like Leap (better known by its Cricketbrand) and MetroPCS — but apparently, a bid to supply one of the Big Four with equipment is hitting a little too close to home for some legislators. A group of eight US Senators has filed a letter with the Treasury Department expressing concern over Huawei’s alleged ties with everything from Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to present-day Iran to China’s own People’s Liberation Army, saying that such a company “should not be able to do business” in the country. Of course, similar concerns ended up dooming Huawei’s attempted buyout of 3Com not long ago — and considering the political climate in US-China relations, this is the kind of lukewarm response Huawei and other major Chinese firms might need to keep dealing with as they try to grow their Western presence.
