余承東堅持將消費者利益放在首位。

中國公司華為表示，其支持蘋果（Apple）首席執(zhí)行官蒂姆?庫克拒絕為美國政府破解一部iPhone手機的立場，但它并未表明該公司是否會采取同樣的立場。

在巴塞羅那召開的世界移動通信大會（Mobile World Congress）上，華為消費業(yè)務(wù)部門首席執(zhí)行官余承東對媒體表示：“這很重要，我們同意蘋果的作法。”

“隱私保護對華為非常重要，我們在隱私保護方面進行了大量投資。信息安全保護是其中的關(guān)鍵，對消費者非常重要?！?/p>

去年12月份，里茲萬?法魯克和他的妻子塔什芬?馬利克在圣貝納迪諾的節(jié)日聚會上槍殺14人，并造成22人受傷。美國政府要求蘋果解鎖法魯克使用的一部iPhone手機，但遭到了蘋果公司的拒絕。

余承東表示：“蒂姆?庫克表明了對（隱私保護）的態(tài)度……對我們而言，隱私保護非常重要。”

“我認為讓政府部門理解我們?yōu)槭裁床荒茏瞿承┦虑椋@是好事。我們應(yīng)當有所為有所不為?！?/p>

在被問到華為面對類似情況是否會采取相同作法時，余承東表示，華為將“堅持對消費者重要的事情?！?/p>

他引用了解鎖一款加密安卓設(shè)備的例子稱：“政府要求廠商做到的某些事情，我們做不到。

因為這些事情涉及隱私保護，對消費者非常重要?！?/p>

此前，華為發(fā)布了華為Matebook，該款平板電腦與可拆卸鍵盤二合一設(shè)備，瞄準商業(yè)市場，旨在與蘋果、三星（Samsung）和聯(lián)想（Lenovo）等競爭對手展開競爭。

余承東表示，新產(chǎn)品采用英特爾酷睿M處理器，運行微軟Windows 10操作系統(tǒng)。

據(jù)高德納（Gartner）統(tǒng)計，華為是中國市場的領(lǐng)先者，也是世界第三大智能手機制造商，其去年出貨的1億多臺智能手機均采用谷歌的安卓操作系統(tǒng)。

余承東表示，華為有信心繼續(xù)推動增長。他表示，一月份通常是電子產(chǎn)品銷售的淡季，但華為的出貨量超過了1,200萬臺。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

Richard Yu insists on putting the consumer first.

China’s Huawei said it backed Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook in his stand-off with the United States government over breaking into an iPhone, but stopped short of saying explicitly it would adopt the same stance.

“It is very important, we agree with that,” Richard Yu, chief executive of Huawei’s consumer business group, told reporters in Barcelona gathered for the Mobile World Congress.

“Privacy protection is very important for Huawei, we put a lot of investment into privacy, and security protection is key, it is very important for the consumer.”

Apple is resisting U.S. government demands that it unlock an iPhone used by Rizwan Farook, who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, shot and killed 14 people and wounded 22 others at a holiday party in San Bernardino in December.

“Tim Cook spoke up for that (privacy) … for us it is really very important,” Yu said.

“I think it’s good letting the government understand why we cannot do some things. There are some things we can do, but there are some things we cannot do.”

Asked directly if Huawei would take the same approach in similar circumstances, Yu said Huawei would “insist on the important things for consumers”.

“Some things the government requires from vendors we cannot do,” he said, citing an example of unlocking an encrypted Android device.

“These are important things for the consumer, for privacy protection.”
