中美貿易戰正式打響？美國將要限制華爲手機！

With its two biggest strategic rivals also being major tech providers, the U.S. government is trying to cut its dependence on Russian and Chinese technology firms.
因爲美國政府的兩個最大的戰略對手同時也是其主要的技術供應商，所以美國政府正試圖減少對俄羅斯和中國科技公司的依賴。

The latest move comes from the FCC. Its chairman, Ajit Pai, circulated a proposal for consideration at the Commission's April 17 meeting to ban certain companies from receiving government funds that subsidize low-income Americans’ access to phone and internet service.
最新的行動來自美國聯邦通信委員會。其委員長阿吉特·派安在該委員會於4月17日召開的會議上建議，美國政府應考慮禁止爲某些向低收入的美國人提供手機和互聯網服務的公司提供資金補貼。

“Hidden 'back doors' to our networks in routers, switches—and virtually any other type of telecommunications equipment—can provide an avenue for hostile governments to inject viruses, launch denial-of-service attacks, steal data, and more,” writes Pai.
“隱藏在我們的路由器、交換機以及其他通信設備網絡上的‘後門’可能會爲敵方政府提供一條通道，使其得以注入病毒、發起阻斷式服務攻擊、竊取數據以及進行其他行動，”派安寫道。

Pai didn't name specific firms, but Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE will likely be at the top of the list that Pai wants the FCC to draw up.
派安並未提及特定公司的名稱，但中國企業華爲和中興很可能是派安想讓美國聯邦通信委員會在擬定名單時優先考慮的公司。

The tech companies are already banned from use by the U.S. military, and this could provide a starting point for the FCC.
美國軍方已經禁止從這些科技公司採購物資，而且這可能會爲聯邦通信委員會打下一個基礎。

In December, Pai received a letter from 18 senators and representatives asking that he consider banning funding for purchasing products from ZTE and especially Huawei.
在12月，派安收到了18位參議員及衆議院議員的來信，他們請求他考慮禁止爲採購中興，特別是華爲的產品提供資金補貼。

The subsidies come from the $8.5 billion/year Universal Service Fund, which powers several programs for people who can’t afford digital access.
這些補貼來自每年85億美元的普及服務基金，而且它們已爲那些人們負擔不起的幾個數字接入服務項目提供了資金支持。
