程度副詞

This, at first glance, is just a smartphone.

乍一看，這只是一款智能手機。

But once you know what's inside, it becomes clear

但是，一旦你知道里面有什麼，就會明白

What really changed  everybody's view of this device

真正改變大家對這一設備看法的是

the microprocessor that was designed  and manufactured in China.

在中國設計和製造的微處理器。

between the world's  two biggest economies.

The phone, made by  Chinese tech giant Huawei,

這款手機由中國科技巨頭華為製造、

Beijing as it tries to escape Washington's controls on its access to technology

北京試圖擺脫華盛頓對其獲取技術的控制

and establish a  self-sufficient chip industry.

If those US controls had been successful,

如果美國的這些管制措施取得成功、

simply should not be possible without importing key components.

如果不進口關鍵部件，就根本不可能實現。

中國現在比以往任何時候都更有能力

who are more concerned about advanced chips

going into military equipment than smartphones.

US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo's visit to Beijing

美國商務部長吉娜-雷蒙多訪問北京

in late August was supposed  to calm a standoff

that has set China and the US at odds with each other

從地緣政治到貿易，無所不包。

Her department has spent the past few years making it harder for China

她所在的部門在過去幾年裡一直在增加中國的難度

to buy or manufacture the advanced semiconductors

needed to fuel the upcoming technology revolutions.

為即將到來的技術革命提供動力。

US hawks say it's about restricting China's military capabilities.

美國鷹派說這是為了限制中國的軍事能力。

The Chinese side say it's more  to do with restricting the

中方表示，這更多地是為了限制

when it comes to protecting Americans' national security.

在保護美國人的國家安全方面。

Her visit was quickly  overshadowed by this.

她的訪問很快就被這件事掩蓋了。

Instead, it was quietly  released for sale online.

相反，它卻悄悄地在網上發售。

It still managed to sell out within hours.

在幾個小時內，它還是被搶購一空。

What it made the timing of that device look like was though

它使該裝置的時間安排看起來像是

that Beijing was trying to send a significant signal to the US

北京試圖向美國發出一個重要信號

to say, “Hey, look, you've taken all of these steps, you've tried to hold us back,

說："嘿，聽著，你已經採取了所有這些措施，你試圖拖我們後腿、

but here we are, this is what we can do.”

但我們來了，這就是我們能做的"。

My colleagues in Asia commissioned what's called a teardown.

我在亞洲的同事委託我進行了一次所謂的拆解。

Literally, you pull the phone apart and then you point a microscope and other

從字面上看，你可以把手機拆開，然後用顯微鏡和其他

pieces of technology at  the innards of the phone.

Huawei's new smartphone is powered by a self-designed chip

華為新款智能手機採用自主設計的芯片

中芯國際是中國最大的芯片製造商、

a contract manufacturer that makes semiconductors

And that shows that the two companies are now making certain progress

這表明兩家公司目前正在取得一定進展

The chip industry distinguishes chips by referring to them

以納米或十億分之一米為組織、部門。

Basically, the smaller you  can make a transistor,

the better you can  make the capabilities of a chip.

If you're looking at Samsung's latest Galaxy or obviously Apple's iPhone,

如果你正在關注三星最新的 Galaxy 或蘋果的 iPhone、

these devices are going to be based upon chips that are using

US export controls were  aimed at keeping China's

美國的出口管制旨在防止中國的

tech capabilities 8 to 10 years  behind the US.

技術能力比美國落後 8 到 10 年。

But the Kirin 9000s chip found  in the Mate 60 Pro

但 Mate 60 Pro 中的麒麟 9000s 芯片

demonstrated that it may only  be four or five years behind

This chip was made with seven nanometer production and that

該芯片採用 7 納米生產工藝，而且

is a lot closer to where the  industry is to the state of the art

So how did Huawei  and SMIC pull this off?

那麼，華為和中芯國際是如何做到這一點的呢？

In recent years, the majority of the world's

most advanced chips  have come from here, Taiwan.

And there's one single company that makes most of them.

而其中大部分都是一家公司生產的。

In the past, the Huawei unit HiSilicon was able to design

過去，華為組織、部門海思能夠設計出

chips that it delegated TSMC to manufacture and import.

它委託臺積電生產和進口的芯片。

China does seem to be able to find its way to find alternatives

when there is a lack of Western technologies available.

The single most important  piece of equipment

for making the most advanced chips is what's known as an

用於製造最先進芯片的是所謂的

extreme ultraviolet lithography  or an EUV machine.

It took decades to develop and each one costs more than $100 million.

它的研發耗時數十年，每臺耗資超過 1 億美元。

They're able to etch patterns into chips as small as three nanometers.

它們能夠在小至三納米的芯片上蝕刻圖案。

Only one company in  the world makes them,

ASML hasn't been allowed to export its EUV machines to China.

ASML 一直未獲準向中國出口其 EUV 機器。

It has been allowed to  export something called DUV,

它被允許出口一種叫做 DUV 的東西、

a different type of technology,  an older type of technology.

一種不同類型的技術，一種更古老的技術。

It was thought that by basically limiting them to that type of technology

人們認為，如果基本上將他們限制在這種技術範圍內

that they'd never get  beyond a certain stage.

What we've found and this chip would appear to indicate, is that actually

我們發現，這塊芯片似乎表明，實際上

they were able to squeeze the capabilities of this DUV machinery

他們能夠榨乾這種 DUV 設備的能力

to get way more advanced lines in those pieces of silicon than the US had hoped.

在這些硅片中獲得比美國所希望的更先進的生產線。

Bloomberg reporting  discovered that SMIC did

彭博社的報道發現，中芯國際確實
