牛津大學停止華爲贊助 ！怎麼回事？

"Oxford University decided on January 8 this year that it will not pursue new funding opportunities with Huawei Technologies Co Ltd or its related group companies at present," an Oxford University spokesman said in a statement.

一位牛津大學發言人在聲明中表示：“今年1月8日，牛津大學決定將不再接受華爲科技有限公司及其目前關聯集團公司的贊助。”

"The decision has been taken in the light of public concerns raised in recent months surrounding UK partnerships with Huawei.

“近幾個月來，圍繞英國同華爲的合作關係而引發的民衆關注，是促成這個決定的一個因素。”

"The university will continue with existing research contracts where funding from Huawei has already been received or committed. We currently have two such ongoing projects, with a combined funding from Huawei of £692k."

“華爲已支付或已承諾贊助的現有研究合同，我校將繼續推進。目前有兩個正在進行的項目，共計接受華爲69.2萬英鎊的贊助。”

Huawei's latest setback in the west comes after Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said he had "very deep concerns" about the Chinese company's involvement in the UK's rollout of 5G.

國防部長加文•威廉姆森表示，他對於這家中國企業在英國5G首發中的參與程度表示“深深地擔憂”——這是西方給華爲的最新一記重拳。

A Huawei spokeswoman said: "We were not informed of this decision and await the University's full explanation.

一名華爲發言人表示：“由於並未被告知牛津大學的此項決定，我們將等待校方的充分解釋”。

"We have operated in the UK since 2001, employ 1,500 people here and have long standing collaborations with 20 other UK universities, working with them to research the technologies of the future."

“早在2001年，我們便進入英國，僱傭了1500名員工，也同20所其他英國的大學維持着長期的穩定的合作關係——共同致力於未來科技的研究。”
