华为供应商聘请前美国官员担任政府事务和公共事业副总裁

台湾联发科技公司（MediaTek Inc）聘请了一位前美国商务部商务联络办公室主任Patrick Wilson担任联发科技美国公司主管政府事务和公共政策的副总裁。Wilson此前曾在美国半导体产业协会工作，并领导该贸易集团与联邦政府打交道。所以，这家台湾晶片生产商也是希望能够借此帮助其度过中美关系日益恶化的难关。据分析师预计，在台积电表示9月15日之后将不再对华为提供HiSilicon设计的新芯片后，联发科技或将成为华为今年发布的新款旗舰手机所需晶片的供应商。

MediaTek Inc. has hired a former U.S. Department of Commerce official to help the Taiwanese chipmaker navigate worsening U.S.-China tensions that have already ensnared its customer Huawei Technologies Co. Patrick Wilson, who most recently served as director of the Office of Business Liaison for the Department of Commerce, will be appointed vice president of government affairs at MediaTek USA and lead its public policy initiatives. Wilson previously worked at the Semiconductor Industry Association, where he led the trade group’s dealings with the federal government. Analysts are expecting Huawei to rely on MediaTek for more orders after TSMC said it will not ship new chips designed by HiSilicon after Sept. 15. MediaTek may supply its chips to Huawei for a flagship handset that may be introduced this year as the U.S. export controls impact supply from Qualcomm Inc. and TSMC, Sanford C. Bernstein analysts including Mark Li wrote in a July 23 note.  source
