Microsoft Says Trump Is Treating Huawei Unfairly
微軟說川普對待華為不公平

4.完整新聞內文:
Brad Smith, the company’s president, suggests the administration hasn’t ad
equately made the case for its moves against the Chinese company.
微軟總裁布拉德史密斯（Brad Smith）表示，美國政府還沒有充分說明對華為采取行動
的理由。

Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith says the way the U.S.
 government is treating Huawei is un-American. As far as he knows, China’s
leading maker of networking equipment and mobile phones should be allowed to
 buy U.S. technology, including software from his company.


Such actions shouldn’t be taken without a “sound basis in fact, logic, and
 the rule of law,” says Smith in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek,
adding that Microsoft has asked U.S. regulators to explain themselves. “Oft
entimes, what we get in response is, ‘Well, if you knew what we knew, you w
ould agree with us,’” he says. “And our answer is, ‘Great, show us what
you know so we can decide for ourselves. That’s the way this country works.
’” U.S. President Donald Trump has said Huawei, run by a former Chinese ar
my technologist, is a national security threat, and his Department of Commer
ce has added the company to an export blacklist scheduled to take full effec
t in November.


Trump should know better, Smith says, citing Trump’s experience in the hote
l industry. “To tell a tech company that it can sell products, but not buy
an operating system or chips, is like telling a hotel company that it can op
en its doors, but not put beds in its hotel rooms or food in its restaurant.
 Either way, you put the survival of that company at risk.”


Why, yes, Huawei is a key customer for Microsoft’s Windows operating system
, which comes loaded on its branded consumer laptops. Four years ago, Smith
and Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella hosted Chinese President
 Xi Jinping at Microsoft for a photo op with tech leaders including Apple CE
O Tim Cook and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. That probably won’t happen aga
in.


Tensions between the U.S. and China feature prominently in Smith’s new book
, Tools and Weapons: The Promise and the Peril of the Digital Age. While Hua
wei is its own case, Smith worries that broader and tighter strictures could
 soon follow. The Commerce Department is considering new restrictions on the
 export of emerging technologies on which Microsoft has placed big bets, inc
luding artificial intelligence and quantum computing. “You can’t be a glob
al technology leader if you can’t bring your technology to the globe,” he
says.


Microsoft has asked the Commerce Department to consider outlawing sales to p
articular customers or for particular uses that might pose national security
 risks, such as universities with ties to the Chinese military. Smith uses t
he analogy of the scalpel vs. the meat cleaver. The company also wants to ma
ke sure academic research can continue to cross borders, including from Micr
osoft Research Asia in Beijing.


A coalition of democracies should agree on standards for privacy and data co
llection and press China for better behavior, Smith says. Such privacy norms
, he says, should govern “appropriate” data sharing that can help contribu
te to AI development and keep pace with Chinese efforts. That’s an idea tha
t will likely alarm some privacy advocates.


Smith, who raised money for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016
, says the bigger concern should be America’s leadership on the world stage
, citing issues including gun violence and climate change. “The only way yo
u can manage technology that’s global is to have governments actually work
with each other,” he says.

微軟也憋不住了，直接出來懟川普了啊。這好像和廣大覺青的認知不太一樣啊？好像覺
