Another twist in the long-running saga of what is going to happen to Huawei.

又一次可能讓華為未來發展方向改變的轉折。

This time, it was Donald Trump meeting Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the G20 in Osaka, where the two presidents discussed bringing an end to their long-running trade war.

這次是川普和習近平在大阪的 G20 峰會會議期間，中美的雙邊晤談，商討欲結束雙方長期以來的貿易戰爭。

Investors were pleased to see the warm words the two men spoke following the meeting, thinking that it might mean that there will soon be an end to the escalation in tariffs.

投資者樂見會談中雙方釋出的善意，他們認為這可能代表著關稅戰爭即將結束。

But what really delighted Silicon Valley, in particular, was what Donald Trump said about Huawei.

但特別讓矽谷感到開心的是川普對華為態度的轉變。

He said that American companies would be allowed to sell to the Chinese telecom's equipment maker, after all, just weeks after his administration announced there would be a ban on them doing exactly that.

就在川普政府公布禁止中美電信業者貿易幾週後，他說美商仍然可以和中國電信業的設備製造商進行買賣。

Since then, however, confusion has reigned over what the president meant.

然而自從那時起，大家開始對川普真正的意思感到困惑。

His economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, was on the television the very next day saying there will be no blanket amnesty for American companies, but there might be a few additional exemptions to the ban granted.

他的經濟顧問，Larry Kudlow，在會談的隔天於電視上表示所有的美國公司都不會獲得集體的赦免，但有可能會有一些額外的特例不用被禁止。

What's clear, talking to people here in Washington, is that the president didn't necessarily know exactly what he meant, either.

很顯然地，和華盛頓這裡的人聊過後，總統也不知道他自己到底在講甚麼。

Mr. Trump will meet senior officials over the coming days, here in DC, to discuss how they might go about easing restrictions on American companies selling to Huawei, while not undermining their central argument that the Chinese company poses a threat to US national security.

川普先生會在接下來幾天在華盛頓特區和政府高層見面，討論他們如何放寬限制美國公司與華為的買賣，同時不削弱他們的中心思想，即中國公司對美國國安是一種威脅。

Most people in the technology industry expect that they will eventually be able to sell consumer goods to Huawei, but perhaps not items for super-fast 5G broadband networks.

科技界的多數人期待他們最終可以賣消費品給華為，但也許超快的 5G 寬頻網路商品除外。

Good news, perhaps then, for Google with its Android operating software on Huawei phones, but less so for Intel and other makers of sophisticated 5G microchips.

好消息是，也許到時候，在華為的手機上會看到 Google 和其安卓操作軟體，但比較不會看到其他生產精密的 5G 微晶片廠商，像是 Intel。
