西沙、南沙群島被標註中國領土 越南消費者怒抵制中製手機

因天氣應用程式將黃沙群島與長沙群島標註為中國領土,越南通路商下架多個中國手機品牌產品

Quick Look

越南通路商因中國手機預裝天氣APP將黃沙群島與長沙群島標註為中國領土,引發主權爭議,緊急下架小米、華為等品牌產品。涉事APP供應商AccuWeather已進行系統修正,部分手機廠商亦配合調整。

Why It Matters

中國與越南長期對南海諸島存在主權爭議,任何涉及該區域的地理標註均極為敏感。

由於中國生產智慧手機預先安裝的天氣應用程式(APP)將越南領土黃沙群島(西沙群島)、長沙群島(南沙群島)錯誤標註為中國領土,引發越南消費者強烈抗議,越南3C產品通路商採取緊急應變措施,包括下架小米、華為等中國智慧手機品牌,氣象資訊企業也修改了APP。

《越南快訊》(VnExpress)、《青年報》(Tuoitre)等媒體報導,本月4日下午,越南主要3C產品通路商下架了陳列的華為、OPPO、小米、榮耀、vivo、傳音、努比亞、魅族等中國智慧手機品牌的部分產品。部分通路商還指示員工,在問題解決前,不僅下架展示用的產品,二手智慧手機銷售與以舊換新交易也先暫停。

這場爭議源自於智慧手機預先安裝的天氣應用程式AccuWeather,其地圖與位置資訊標註出現錯誤。在這款APP搜尋越南聲稱享有主權的黃沙群島與長沙群島,發生被標記為中國領土的錯誤。

這2個群島都位於南海,中國稱黃沙群島為西沙群島,稱長沙群島為南沙群島。長久以來,中國與越南都聲稱擁有這2個群島主權,因而屢屢出現衝突。中國主張對南海享有廣泛主權,越南的立場則是這2個群島均為本國領土。對越南國民而言,這2個群島的主權不單純是地理資訊,更是直接關乎國家主權的敏感議題。

但這次錯誤似乎與中國手機廠商自行開發的地圖服務無關,問題出自外部供應商提供的數據。AccuWeather是1家美國氣象資訊服務企業,目前為多家智慧手機廠商提供天氣預報數據。在接到問題報告後,AccuWeather已聯手合作方停止了出錯的服務,並著手更新系統。

智慧手機廠商也採取了緊急應變措施。小米與榮耀表示,確認外部服務中發生的錯誤,已完成技術調整與軟體修改。小米表示,完全尊重並遵守越南法律,並向及時回饋問題的用戶表示感謝。另有部分廠商臨時關閉了引發爭議的服務,修改了位置搜尋功能。

另一方面,OPPO宣稱,該公司產品並未發現該問題。OPPO解釋稱,該公司的天氣APP使用的是美國氣象資訊服務企業The Weather Channel的數據,與本次錯誤無關。部分3C產品通路商下架產品單純是出於防範目的,在確認商品完成修改後,將重新上架恢復陳列。

這已經不是全球科技企業第一次因為地圖上的領土標註錯誤,而在越南引發爭議。 2022年12月,蘋果因iPhone、iPad、MacBook等搭載的蘋果地圖未標註黃沙群島、長沙群島而遭到指責。因越南用戶持續抗議,越南資訊通信部門要求蘋果添加2處群島的地名與位置資訊。蘋果承認有技術錯誤,並依照要求修改了地圖資訊。

Meta也曾經歷過類似的問題。2018年,在臉書廣告製作功能中,黃沙群島、長沙群島被標註為中國領土,越南政府提出抗議,臉書聲稱是使用錯誤的地圖數據所致,並修改了相關標註。2020年,臉書地圖確認漏掉這2個群島的訊息,最後修改並道歉。

包括中華民國(台灣)、越南和中國均聲稱擁有黃沙群島(西沙群島)的主權。此外,包括中華民國(台灣)、越南、中國均聲稱擁有長沙群島(南沙群島)完整的主權,馬來西亞、菲律賓、汶萊則宣稱擁有部分島嶼的主權,而印尼則是宣稱擁有200海里專屬經濟區。
