蘋果將在華增設兩個研發中心 投入超35億人民幣

Apple is to set up two more research and development centers in Shanghai and Suzhou, following Beijing and Shenzhen, Apple CEO Tim Cook said at the China Development Forum in Beijing.

蘋果首席執行官蒂姆·庫克近日在北京舉行的中國發展高層論壇上稱，繼北京和深圳後，蘋果將在上海和蘇州再建兩個研發中心。

The California-headquartered company has committed to investing 3.5 billion yuan in these centers, which will seek graduates of China's leading universities including Peking University, Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

這家總部位於加利福尼亞的公司承諾向這些中心投資35億元人民幣，將招攬包括北京大學、清華大學和上海交通大學在內的中國頂尖高校的畢業生。

Apple's efforts to expand its operations in China show that the country is no longer just a big consumer market, but also an indispensable part of Apple's global R&D community.

蘋果在中國拓展業務的努力顯示，中國不再僅是一個龐大的消費市場，還是蘋果全球研發社區不可或缺的一部分。

By expanding research and development in China, the company looks forward to working collaboratively with more local partners and academic institutions, said Dan Riccio, Apple's senior vice president of Hardware Engineering.

據蘋果公司硬件工程高級副總裁丹·裏喬表示，通過擴大在中國的研發活動，該公司希望能夠和更多中國本土合作伙伴及學術機構合作。

Shanghai decided to transform itself into a global research and development center in 2014 while Suzhou in Jiangsu Province is also a popular destination for foreign enterprises to build the centers.

2014年，上海決定將該市轉變成一個全球研發中心，而外國企業也偏愛在江蘇省蘇州市建立研發中心。
