由于全球互联网需求的助推，2014年上半年中国电信集团华为(Huawei Technologies)的营收同比跃升19%，升至1358亿元人民币。
Huawei Technologies, the Chinese telecommunications group that has been the subject of international security concerns, saw revenue in the first half of 2014 jump 19 per cent year-on-year to Rmb135.8bn fuelled by global network demand.
就在华为出现更为强劲的销售之前，华为最大的几家客户——中国移动(China Mobile)、中国联通(China Unicom)及中国电信(China Telecom)——在中国加大了在4G设备上的开支。
Stronger sales at Huawei, founded in 1987 by ex-military officer Ren Zhengfei and self-styled as an “employee-owned company”, follow a ramp-up in spending in China on 4G equipment by its biggest customers: China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, the big three telecoms providers.
华为表示，尽管这一增长幅度超出了前一年10.3%的增长幅度，它仍与华为的预期一致。
Huawei’s efforts to clinch deals in the US have been blocked over what Washington sees as security concerns, something the company denies.
中国电信设备制造商的增长在很大程度上源于中国升级4G网络的努力。在最新的招标中，华为赢得了其中31%的份额，总部同样驻深圳的中兴(ZTE)赢得了34%，而包括爱立信(Ericsson)和阿尔卡特朗讯(Alcatel-Lucent)在内的西方企业则各自赢得了9%的份额。
The growth, which outpaced the 10.3 per cent achieved in the previous year, was in line with Huawei’s expectations, the company said.
在今年5月举行的招标中，比起其外国竞争对手，华为和中兴偷偷占得了先机。这一由国有企业中国移动提出的招标是2014年上半年全球最大规模的4G设备招标，该公司打算通过招标修建10万座4G/LTE基站。
“Driven by increasing investments in LTE [4G] networks worldwide, Huawei has further solidified its leadership position in mobile broadband,” said Cathy Meng, chief financial officer.
中国政府计划在2020年以前投资2万亿元人民币（合3230亿美元），用于充分改善宽带基础设施，以便让几乎全部13亿人口上网。出于这个原因，中国国内企业很可能会继续从中分得绝大部分份额。
Chinese telecoms equipment makers have been boosted most from China’s push to upgrade its networks to 4G – Huawei won 31 per cent of the latest tender and ZTE, also based in Shenzhen, won 34 per cent. Western companies such as Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent each secured shares of 9 per cent.
总体上说，中国移动计划在2013年和2014年在中国建设50万座4G LTE基站，这差不多占了同期全球4G资本开支的一半。此外，中国联通和中国电信也分别计划修建5万和6万座基站。
Huawei and ZTE stole a march on foreign rivals at the May tender, the world’s biggest tender for 4G equipment during the first half of 2014 that sought bids to build 100,000 4G/LTE bay stations by state-owned China Mobile.
此外，作为全球五大智能手机生产商之一，华为表示其所有部门都取得了增长。该公司今年上半年的运营利润率是18.3%，比2013年的12.2%大大提高。
Domestic companies’ share of the spoils is likely to remain dominant as the government plans to invest Rmb2tn ($323bn) by 2020 to improve broadband infrastructure sufficiently to put virtually the entire 1.3bn population online.
