「That’s a lot of applications — it’s frankly more than we would』ve thought,」 Ross was quoted as saying. 「Remember too with entity lists there’s a presumption of denial. So the safe thing for these companies would be to assume denial, even though we will obviously approve quite a few of them.」

「申請量很大，坦白地說，比我們預期的要多，」羅斯說。

「不過還是要提醒下，實體列表也存在否認的假設。

因此，對這些公司來說，保險的預期是他們的申請被拒，儘管我們還是會批准相當一部分的申請。

羅斯沒有給出批准許可證的具體時間表，不過這些公司有望在年底之前獲批。

國外知名權威科技媒體AndroidAuthority指出，重要的是谷歌能不能獲得這個許可證。

One of the big questions is whether Google will receive a license to deal with Huawei. The Mate 30 series is the first major Huawei flagship to lack Google services, resulting in a severely limited Western launch thus far. If Google indeed receives a license, it means Huawei should be able to push out Google services to its Mate 30 phones. But it also means that Huawei’s early 2020 flagships and the Mate X foldable phone could receive Google support.

一個大問題是，谷歌是否會獲得向華為供貨的許可證。

Mate 30系列是華為首個沒有谷歌服務的旗艦產品，這導致該產品在西方市場推出時受到嚴重限制。

如果谷歌獲得了許可證，就意味著華為能向其Mate 30手機推出谷歌服務。

華為2020年初的旗艦產品和Mate X摺疊手機也可能會得到授權使用谷歌服務。

另據CNN報導，微軟在上個月就已經申請了許可證。

微軟總裁布拉德·史密斯(Brad Smith)在接受採訪時表示，他理解政府將華為設備排除在美國無線網絡之外的初衷，但他並不同意限制向中國公司銷售美國產品的決定。

"If somebody from the government believes that Windows on a laptop sold by Huawei would create a national security risk to the United States, then of course that's something that we want to talk about and think hard about. But we don't think that is the case," Smith said, adding that Microsoft had applied for a license.

史密斯說：「如果政府有人認為華為筆記本電腦上的Windows系統會給美國帶來國家安全風險，那麼這當然是我們要認真考慮的事情。

但實際情況並非如此。

」他補充說，微軟已經申請了許可證。

"Right now, there is not a Chinese competitor in the PC operating system space. Is it really in the United States' economic interest to create not only an incentive, but the necessity to go create a Chinese operating system? Because once it's created, it will compete with us around the world," Smith said.

史密斯說：「目前，在個人電腦作業系統領域還沒有出現來自中國的競爭對手。

一個中國研發的作業系統真的符合美國的經濟利益嗎？一旦它被研發出來，將在世界各地與我們競爭。

」

史密斯的擔心不無道理。

世界這麼大，替代品那麼多，實在沒有替代品，那就自己研發。

上個月任正非在談及美國禁令的時候就講過，「當美國政府對我們實行斷供以後，我們就啟動了自研晶片規模化的使用」，雖然這不是突然冒出來的決定，是多年的準備，但這表現出華為絕對有自力更生的能力。

有網友也看出了美國禁令實際產生的效果，不但沒有拖住中國進步的腳步，相反還把它往前推了一步。

The US realises that restricting sales would only mean that Huawei would substitute/source them elsewhere or develop them themselves freezing out the US supply chain altogether. And they realise an embargo never succeeded in stopping China from progressing and developing at all.

美國意識到，限制銷售只會意味著華為將在其他地方替換/採購這些產品，或者自己開發這些產品，完全摒棄美國供應鏈。

他們意識到，貿易限制從未能阻止中國進步和發展的步伐。

Gosh I wonder why they are going to grant licenses. Could it have to do with Huawei going ahead with plan B and cutting the American firms out of their supply chain. Or possibly that there is an election one year from today and US politicians need the money from these 260 firms. Perhaps a mixture of both.

天哪，我還在想他們為什麼要頒發許可證。

這是否與華為繼續實施B計劃並切斷美國公司的供應鏈有關？或者是選舉在即，美國政客需要這260家公司的資金。

也許兩者兼而有之。

有網友諷刺道，這會兒美國不計較國家安全了嗎？

and here I thought they said Huawei was a security risk

我記得他們不是說過華為是有安全威脅麼。

Are they a security threat or not? Need to get the story straight

他們到底會不會造成安全威脅？得把話說清楚啊。

what about national security??? lol joke

那國家安全怎麼說？？？哈哈哈，真是個笑話。

還有人表示不管你禁還是放，我在乎的只有5G。

Looking forward to Chinese 5g, at least that works.

很期待中國的5G技術，至少這個很好用。
