In this case it means encryption that the company doesnt have the key for, any encryption is breakable given enough time and a fast enough computer, but the government wants companies to be able to break the encryption without needing time or a computer.
Any encryption that can be udecrypted and read is eventually crackable. (theoretically at least, it may not be feasible or realistic, but it is doable).
Obviously its possible to encrypt something to the point where it can never be decrypted, but then it would not be worth anything neways.

Any asymmetric encryption, you mean. Unless there's a flaw in your random number generator, a one time pad is uncrackable.

Well it is crackable, but it's no fun with a key space that size
