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."
Why did Huawei maintain it is independent from the Chinese government?
选项
A、Because Huawei don’t want to develop in China.
B、Because most employers of Huawei are not from China.
C、Because the military background of its founder has posed a negative effect.
D、Because Huawei worries about getting involved in political issues.
答案
C
解析
推断题。根据题干中的“Huawei maintain it is independent from the Chinesegovernment”可定位至第五段.根据该段第一句 “Huawei has struggled to gain agreater foothold in some countries because of concems over the military background ofits founder,Ren Zhengfei,a former People’s Liberation Army officer”,可知,因为华为创始人任正非曾任解放军军官,即与中国政府联系密切,于是很多国家拒绝与其合作,可见,华为始终坚称自己独立于中国政府,正是因为其创始人的解放军军官身份影响了它的发展。C项符合。
