庫克說了句大實(shí)話:中國從未要求我們解鎖iPhone,但美國要求了

當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間11月20日,蘋果得克薩斯州新工廠破土動工(break ground),蘋果CEO蒂姆·庫克接受美國廣播公司新聞網(wǎng)(ABC News)采訪,中國再次成了“話題中心”。

眾所周知,美國總統(tǒng)特朗普上臺后,每天嚷嚷著要美國公司把工廠“搬回美國”。
當(dāng)記者問到為什么iPhone手機(jī)還要在中國制造時(shí),庫克表示,iPhone是全球供應(yīng)鏈下的產(chǎn)品。
“The iPhone is the product of a global supply chain.”
至于什么時(shí)候才能把蘋果手機(jī)生產(chǎn)線“搬回美國”,庫克坦言這事還“沒影兒”(not on the horizon)。
Ultimately they're assembled in China, and, Cook said, assembling them in the U.S. is not "on the horizon."
ABC News報(bào)道指出,對于蘋果來說,中國可不光是該公司產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)地,更是“錢”景廣闊的市場(a very?lucrative?market)。
China remains one of Apple's most important markets, with approximately 20% of the company's sales now coming from China.
中國仍是蘋果公司最重要的市場之一,該公司約20%的銷售額來自中國。
注:lucrative?[?lu?kr?t?v]:利潤豐厚的

一直以來美國有言論稱“中國政府會要求蘋果公司解鎖iPhone,提供信息”,對此庫克回應(yīng)稱:“中國政府從未要求我們解鎖過一臺蘋果手機(jī),但美國要求了。”
Cook said they have never been asked in China by authorities to unlock an iPhone, but added, referring to the U.S., “I have here. And we stood up against that, and said we can’t do it,” he added.
庫克稱,他們從未被中國政府要求解鎖蘋果手機(jī),但補(bǔ)充道:“美國要求了。我們對此表示反對,說我們不能這么做。”
至于美國挑起的中美貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)是否會影響iPhone價(jià)格,庫克稱不想去“猜測”("speculate"),但他希望中美能達(dá)成協(xié)議(come to an agreement),這符合雙方的利益。
"I'm so convinced that it's in the best interest of the U.S. and best interest of China, and so if you have two parties where there's a common best interest there has got to be some kind of path forward here. And I think that will happen," said Cook.
“我堅(jiān)信這符合中美雙方的利益,所以如果雙方發(fā)現(xiàn)存在共同最佳利益,一定會找到解決途徑。我認(rèn)為這會發(fā)生的?!?/span>
記者問,在當(dāng)前中美關(guān)系緊張的局勢下,蘋果是否擔(dān)憂與中國的關(guān)系時(shí),庫克稱“中國從未向我們施壓,所以我沒有這種擔(dān)憂”。
"China really hasn't pressured us, and so I I don't envision that," he added.
