英国为何针对中国监控设备？海康威视安全争议背后的政治博弈
近期，英国政府要求拆除中国制造的监控设备引发广泛关注。据《金融时报》报道，这项禁令主要针对全球两大监控设备制造商——海康威视和大华公司。
Recently, the UK government's demand to remove Chinese-made surveillance equipment has attracted widespread attention. According to the Financial Times, the ban mainly targets the world's two largest surveillance equipment manufacturers - Hikvision and Dahua Technology.
英国媒体炒作"中国监控设备威胁国家安全"已持续两年。数据显示，海康威视在英国安装了超过100万个摄像头，英格兰和威尔士至少1/3的警察部队使用其产品。
UK media has been hyping up the "Chinese surveillance equipment threatens national security" narrative for two years. Data shows that Hikvision has installed over 1 million cameras in the UK, with at least one-third of police forces in England and Wales using its products.
市场选择：海康威视连续8年蝉联全球视频监控行业第一，市场份额近30%。其产品以高质量、合理价格赢得全球150多个国家和地区的客户。
Market Choice: Hikvision has ranked first in the global video surveillance industry for eight consecutive years, with a market share of nearly 30%. Its products have won customers in more than 150 countries and regions with high quality and reasonable prices.
安全争议：海康威视声明其产品不存储用户数据，完全符合英国法律法规。专家指出，仅凭生产商国籍判断设备安全性极其荒谬。
Security Controversy: Hikvision stated that its products do not store user data and fully comply with UK laws and regulations. Experts point out that judging equipment safety solely based on the manufacturer's nationality is extremely absurd.
政治背景：今年以来，英国政府多次发表对华强硬言论，将中国定位为"划时代挑战"。分析认为，此次禁令是经济问题政治化的典型表现。
Political Background: This year, the UK government has repeatedly made tough remarks about China, positioning it as an "epoch-defining challenge". Analysts believe this ban is a typical case of politicizing economic issues.
英美关系：英国首相苏纳克多次在访美期间发表对华强硬言论。观察人士指出，英国可能希望通过配合美国政策来换取英美自贸协议的进展。
UK-US Relations: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has repeatedly made tough remarks about China during visits to the US. Observers point out that the UK may hope to exchange progress on a UK-US free trade agreement by aligning with US policies.
经济困境：脱欧后，英国经济面临巨大压力。专家质疑，在需要价廉物美产品的时期，英国政府为何要与市场作对。
Economic Dilemma: After Brexit, the UK economy faces tremendous pressure. Experts question why the UK government would go against the market at a time when affordable, quality products are needed.
中国成语"疑邻盗斧"恰能形容当前局面——当自己心存偏见时，看什么都像有问题。英国对华政策正陷入这种非理性思维的困境。
The Chinese idiom "suspecting one's neighbor of stealing an axe" aptly describes the current situation - when one is prejudiced, everything seems problematic. The UK's China policy is trapped in this irrational thinking dilemma.
