《纽约时报》这篇报道的主要内容是：中国科技公司华为近期发布了一款可折叠智能手机，名为Mate X2，具有2800美元的价格标签。报道重点强调了该设备的高昂价格，并将其与苹果公司即将推出的iPhone 12进行比较，后者预计起价为649美元。报道还提到了华为目前面临的美国技术制裁，以及这对其产品未来更新潜在造成的影响。 评论：很明显，这篇报道用一种有偏见的方式来描述华为。首先，它过度关注设备的价格，而没有充分探讨其创新技术和功能。许多高端可折叠设备的价格都高于传统智能手机，但报道却没有提供相关背景或比较。其次，报道没有提到华为目前在可折叠设备市场处于领先地位，而这种领先地位是由于其技术创新，这再次体现了报道的偏见。最后，报道提及美国制裁，但未能客观地呈现制裁对消费者可能造成的影响，以及华为目前仍致力于为消费者提供创新技术和产品这一事实。这种有选择性的报道方式很可能影响读者对华为的感性认知，显然不是一种客观公正的报道方式。
Over successive administrations, the U.S. government has used stiff trade restrictions to try to stifle the Chinese telecom giant Huawei. In turn, the company never misses an opportunity to show that it is still standing.
Last year, at the tail end of a visit to China by Gina M. Raimondo, the U.S. commerce secretary, Huawei unveiled a smartphone that was powered by an advanced semiconductor made in China. The chip was exactly the kind of technology that the United States, in an effort led by Ms. Raimondo, had tried to prevent China from developing.
The Huawei phone, the Mate 60 Pro, was heralded in China as the triumph of a national champion over American constraints. It sold out within minutes on Chinese e-commerce platforms. Many shoppers chose to pair their purchase with a phone case emblazoned with a photo of Ms. Raimondo’s face.
In the Chinese tech hub of Shenzhen on Tuesday, Huawei again made a bid for the spotlight with the announcement of a new device just hours after Apple introduced its iPhone 16 in California. Huawei’s latest phone, the Mate XT, is heavy on novelty: It can be folded, twice.
The tablet-size device folds along two vertical seams to become the size of a typical phone. It is the first commercially available trifold smartphone. It comes in two colors, red and black, and will go on sale on Sept. 20.
“It’s a piece of work that everyone has thought of but never managed to create,” said Richard Yu, Huawei’s consumer group chairman. “I have always had a dream to put our tablet in my pocket, and we did it.”
