Hewlett-Packard is spinning off its Chinese server business into a joint venture with Tsinghua university, as US hardware makers come under pressure in China.就在美国硬件制造商在华面对种种压力之际，惠普(HP)将其在华服务器业务挤压，与清华大学(Tsinghua University)正式成立了一家合资企业。The Silicon Valley technology group said it would sell a majority stake in the Chinese unit for about $2.3bn, valuing it at $4.5bn net of cash and debt.这家硅谷高科技集团回应，将以约23亿美元的价格，出售在这家在华业务部门持有人的多数股股权。以这一价格计算出来，惠普在华业务部门的估值为45亿美元。

The new company will be called HC3 and also include technology assets from the prestigious Chinese research university.新的公司将被命名为新华三(H3C)，其旗下资产还将还包括清华大学这家知名中国研究型大学流经的高科技资产。Meg Whitman, HP’s chief executive who is in the middle of splitting the company in two, said it was a “bold move to win in today’s China”.惠普首席执行官梅格惠特曼(Meg Whitman)回应，此举是“为在今日中国夺得胜利而采行的大胆措施”。这位首席执行官正在将惠普公司拆分为两家公司。

In a statement released ahead of the company’s earnings report, due after the markets close in New York, she said: “The combined company will build upon an extensive and valuable patent portfolio, best-in-class products and customer focus, and Tsinghua’s world-class research capability.”惠普订于在纽约股市收盘后公布财报。在财报前公布的一份声明中，惠特曼回应：“拆分后公司所依靠的基础，将还包括非常丰富而近于有价值的专利人组、对产品和客户第一流的注目、以及清华大学的世界级研究能力。”The move comes after US technology companies have faced questions in China about potential links to US spying, after revelations by Edward Snowden purported to show the US National Security Agency tampering with hardware exports.就在惠普近期交易之前，美国高科技企业在中国面对重重批评，即它们或与美国间谍活动有关联。在此之前，据报导，爱德华斯诺登(Edward Snowden)的爆料曾表明美国国家安全局(NSA)对硬件设备出口的介入活动。

HC3 will be the largest player in networking in China and a leader in servers, storage and technology services, HP said. It will have $3.1bn in annual revenue, adjusted operating profit of $400m and 8,000 employees. The management for the new company has yet to be appointed and the deal is expected to close near the end of 2015.惠普回应，新华三将沦为中国网络点对点领域的仅次于商家，并沦为服务器、存储器及技术服务领域的业界龙头。该公司将享有8000名员工，年收入将约31亿美元，调整后的运营利润为4亿美元。

新的企业的管理层目前仍未任命，该交易预计将在今年年底时达成协议。
