BERLIN—The German government is leaning toward letting Huawei Technologies
Co. participate in building the nation’s high-speed internet infrastructure
, several German official said, the latest sign of ambivalence among U.S. al
lies over Washington’s push to ostracize the Chinese tech giant as a nation

柏林 - 德國政府傾向于讓華為參與建設國家的高速互聯網基礎設施，一些德國官員表示
，這是美國的盟友對華盛頓推動以國家安全理由排斥中國科技巨頭的最新回應。

A small group of ministries reached a preliminary agreement two weeks ago th
at still needs formal approval by the full cabinet and parliament, officials
 said. The final action isn’t expected for several weeks.
官員們說，政府部門的一個小組在兩周前達成了一項初步協議，仍需要全體內閣和議會
的正式批準。預計幾周內不會采取最終行動。

The Trump administration has been urging its allies for months to restrict H
uawei’s participation in their next-generation mobile infrastructure—and e
ven pull the company’s equipment from existing networks. But unwillingness
in those countries to delay the rollout of so-called 5G services, the potential additional costs of picking new vendors
 and a lack of evidence showing that Huawei can use its equipment to eavesdr
op on or disrupt communications have stymied U.S. efforts.

In the U.K., Washington’s closest ally in Europe, a review currently under
way is expected to conclude that Huawei products should still be allowed for
 less vulnerable parts of the country’s network, according to British offic
ials. And across Eastern Europe, where the U.S. has traditionally held consi
derable sway, governments have been hesitant to drastically restrict Huawei’
s access, partly out of concern about antagonizing China, a big investor in
the region.


Independent of the Huawei concerns, the German government has been drafting
changes to the country’s telecommunications laws in part to improve securit
y protections. While Berlin considered shaping the rules in a way that would
 make it hard for Huawei to bid for infrastructure contracts, officials said the stricter security requirements
for equipment vendors, including a no-spy pledge, shouldn’t be deliberately
 set so high as to rule out the Chinese company.



A recent probe by Germany’s cybersecurity agency with help from the U.S. an
d other allies failed to show that Huawei could use its equipment to clandes
tinely siphon off data, according to senior agency and other government offi
cials. An official at the Federal Office for Information Security, known as
BSI, and two cybersecurity experts at the interior and foreign ministries sa
id probes in allied countries in addition to Germany hadn’t uncovered any i
ndication ofwrongdoing by the Chinese company.


Germany lags behind the rest of Europe—and most of Asia—in internet speed,
 making a 5G rollout crucial to enabling a range of newservices such as auto
nomous vehicles and high-resolution video streaming. German industry represe
ntatives back a rapid rollout, displaying concern that Beijing could retalia
te for Huawei’s exclusion by cutting off German companies from the Chinese
market.



“We missed the boat here in Germany with regards to the broadband internet.
 We need fast internet, we need it quickly and we need it cheap,” said one
senior government official involved in the case.
“我們德國錯過了寬帶互聯網的機會。我們需要快速互聯網，我們需要快速，我們需要
它便宜，“一位參與此案的高級政府官員表示。

Huawei is a leading supplier of the network infrastructure components needed
 to build 5G networks, and its prices are often lower than those of rivals—
something German officials said factored into the government’s preliminary
decision not to ostracize it.
華為是構建5G網絡所需的網絡基礎設施組件的領先供應商，其價格往往低于競爭對手 -
 德國官員表示，政府初步決定不會排斥它。

Another official said conversations with U.S. and British services thought t
o have more insight into potential vulnerabilities built into Huawei’s equi
pment had proved inconclusive.
另一位官員表示，與美國和英國的相關部門進行的對話認為對華為設備設置了后門的觀
點已經證明是不確定的。

In Britain, government officials plan to complete their review of the teleco
mmunications supply chain by this spring. The goal is to determine whether B
ritish telecom networks are overly reliant on Huawei, said people familiar w
ith the review.
英國政府官員計劃在今年春天完成對電信供應鏈的審查。知情人士表示，其目標是確定
英國電信網絡是否過度依賴華為

U.K. officials share the American concern that Huawei could put its Western
rivals out of business and become the only option for telecom equipment in t
he near future, the people said. But unlike their U.S. counterparts, British
 officials believe they can allow some Huawei equipment in U.K. networks, th
e people said.


British officials are considering allowing U.K. wireless carriers to use onl
y cellular-tower equipment from Huawei, the people said. Such equipment, as
opposed to “core” network equipment that transfers calls and data, present
s minimal risk because a hacker would have access to only limited data, the people said. U.K. officials are also consid
ering requiring wireless carriers to use multiple suppliers, the people said
.


Huawei already cooperates closely with the German government. Last fall, the
 company opened a security lab near the BSI headquarters in Bonn, in which g
overnment officials can review the company’s products and source codes. A H
uawei spokesman said the company supported tougher telecom security rules an
d would sign a no-spy agreement.


This could put Huawei at odds with Chinese legislation. A 2017 Chinese law s
tipulates that all Chinese companies must cooperate with the country’s inte
lligence services upon request, something U.S. Vice President Mike Pence war
ned in a speech in Germany last weekend could compromise the security of com
munications in markets that accommodate Huawei.


Addressing the same event, Yang Jiechi, a Chinese foreign affairs official,
rejected the claimsand said Huawei was cooperating with European companies.
中國外交事務官員楊潔篪在同一事件發表講話時否定了這一說法，并表示華為正在與歐
洲公司合作。

“Chinese law does not require from companies to install backdoors…or spy,”
 Mr. Jiechi said,referring to system access granted to authorities.
“中國法律并不要求公司安裝后門......或進行間諜行為，”楊潔篪說，這里指的是授
予當局系統訪問權。

Berlin’s inclination to allow in Chinese vendors has sparked some pushback
from a small group of politicians and civil servants who think the governmen
t is underplaying the security risks because of short-term economic consider
ations.
柏林接受中國供應商的傾向引發一些政治家和公務員的一些擔憂，他們認為基于短期經
濟因素的考慮，政府正在低估安全風險。

The group is also concerned about opening another dispute with the Trump adm
inistration, adding to a list of flashpoints ranging from trade to the Iran
nuclear deal and Nord Stream 2, a German-Russian gas-pipeline project Washin
gton is determined to stop.
該組織還擔心與特朗普政府開啟另一場爭端，增加了從貿易到伊朗核協議以及德國 - 俄
羅斯天然氣管道項目Nord Stream 2問題的摩擦，華盛頓決心停止這一項目。

U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard A. Grenell said that German policy makers
 should consider the extraordinary scale of Beijing’s efforts to gather and
 exploit data.
美國駐德國大使理查德· 格雷內爾表示，德國政策制定者應該考慮北京收集和利用數據
的巨大規模。

“They leverage an array of legal tools and other mechanisms to exert contro
l and influencecompanies to cooperate with Chinese intelligence and security
 services. This applies to both state-owned enterprises and ostensibly priva
te firms,” Mr. Grenell said.
“他們利用一系列法律工具和其他機制來控制和影響公司與中國情報和安全部門合作。
這適用于國有企業和表面上的私營企業，“格雷內爾先生說。

Huawei’s founder, former Chinese army engineer Ren Zhengfei, told the Briti
sh Broadcasting Corp. on Monday that “there is no way the U.S. can crush us
…The world cannot leave us because we are more advanced. Even if they persu
ade more countries not to use us temporarily, we can always scale things dow
n a bit.”


“If the lights go out in the West, the East will still shine,” he added. “
And if the North goes dark, there is still the South. America doesn’t repre
sent the world. America only represents a portion of the world.”
