Huawei has made its first equity investment in a British technology company as the Chinese networking and telecommunications group looks to grow its operations in the UK while facing hostility in other markets around the world.
The Chinese company is among a group of corporate investors that includes Bosch, the German industrial supplier, and Xilinx, an American technology maker, which has taken a "strategic" stake in XMOS, a Bristol-based semiconductor company.
The trio has joined in a $26m funding round in the chip designer. People familiar with the deal said the investment values XMOS at over $100m. The company declined to comment. One person familiar with the Chinese group said it has created a team dedicated to seeking similar investment opportunities with the aim of making two such deals a year in Europe.
Huawei’ s expansion plans have often been met with suspicion around the world. In October 2012, a US congressional report branded Huawei and ZTE, its smaller Chinese peer, a threat to national security.
Huawei has struggled to gain a greater foothold in some countries because of concerns over the military background of its founder, Ren Zhengfei, a former People’ s Liberation Army officer. Authorities in India have voiced concerns while it has been blocked from bidding on some contracts in Germany and Australia. Huawei has always maintained it is independent from the Chinese government.
Britain has provided a warmer welcome. In 2012, David Cameron, prime minister, said that Huawei’s commitment to invest £1.3bn into its operations in the country proved that the UK is "open for business".
Huawei has previously bought two European companies—CIP Technologies in the UK in 2012 and Belgium’s Caliopa in 2013—though financial terms for those deals were not released.
This year, the company said it will invest £ 10m in UK university research and has plans to open a research and development centre in Bristol.
XMOS, a semiconductor designer founded in 2005, has particular expertise in high-performance chips used for products in the "internet of things", such as personal electronics and home appliances which are embedded with sensors able to connect to the internet.
Nigel Toon, XMOS chief executive, said that the new investment would allow it to establish strong ties with companies like Huawei and Bosch, groups that are also likely to be large customers in the future. "This is a massive opportunity to have close contact with these companies and build a big business," said Mr Toon.
Steven Chu, chief strategy officer and vice-president at Huawei’ s silicon division, said: "We have a very high regard for the team at XMOS and will be working closely with diem on a number of exciting new projects."
The best title of the passage may be______.
选项
A、Huawei Cooperates with XMOS
B、Huawei Backs British tech company XMOS
C、Huawei is to Expand its Market
D、Huawei Invests in Britain
答案
B
解析
主旨题。本文主要讲述了华为向英国科技公司XMOS进行了首次股权投资,接着讲到当华为的扩张计划经常在世界各地遭到猜疑时,英国则给予了更为热情的欢迎,因为英国“向商业开放”,该项投资也益处颇丰。综合来看。本文的关键词为“华为”“英国”“XMOS”,B项包含这些关键词且符合文意。因而选择B。
