& nbsp: Last week, while US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was in Beijing, she saw a spontaneous celebration among the Chinese people. The joyful outburst, however, had nothing to do with her meetings with Chinese authorities; rather, it was a loud clap for the resurgence of Huawei’s cellphone business.
Huawei slowly informed Chinese customers that it had re-entered the portable phone market by announcing the Mate 60 Pro‘s availability on the company website.
On China’s cultural media, expression of the Mate 60 Pro spread like wildfire. The original reservation of the new phone was sold out on the first day, despite Huawei providing essentially no background information on it. & nbsp,
Visitors to the website can see that the Huawei smartphone has similar efficiency but costs a little less than the Apple iPhone 14. The main distinction is that Huawei’s phone is faster and complies with 5G handset requirements.
The Mate 60 Pro was instantly disassembled by outside parties, who claimed that there was no sign of US technology in. The phone runs on Huawei’s own operating system, HarmonyOS, and is powered by a Kirin 9000S check that was created and manufactured in China.
Another professional distinctions exist between Huawei’s most recent smartphone and its rivals. The fact that Huawei is again after three years in the wilderness, however, is what matters most to me. & nbsp,
The US started imposing a number of restrictions on the business in 2019, denying it entry to cutting-edge chip designs and the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s( TSMC ) ability to produce the chips for them. Each new restraint was put in place to prevent Huawei from entering the smartphone market.
Message for the Biden administration
In a way, Raimondo’s attend had something to do with what Huawei did. According to reports, the company delayed the Mate 60 Pro’s introduction to accommodate her visit. Many Chinese internet users perceived it as Huawei’s way of reminding her and the Joe Biden administration that no US obstruction did keep Huawei over for very long. & nbsp,
Huawei has never made it clear how it has made the necessary technical advancements, but one thing is certain. Without lovers in China and without developing a local supply chain, the company would not have been able to make all the advancements, from design applications and silicon fabrication to basic chemicals and substances. & nbsp,
What Huawei has accomplished will have an impact on the silicon sector in China. Huawei’s practice does make it easier and more inspiring for others to do the same. China’s semiconductor industry self-sufficiency may only grow.
China recently accounted for nearly one-third of the global market for semiconductors. It was more practical for China to get them than to create its own before the US started the business war. As a result of being forced to fend for itself, China is no longer importing as much, and full import is falling by two digits every year.
Leading US companies of chip-making products like Applied Material and Lam Research will lose money as a result of America’s foolish plan to detach from China, including Nvidia and Qualcomm. & nbsp,
These businesses will notice their quantitative benefits disappear. They are not permitted to sell to China in the near future. China won’t need to purchase from them in the long run.
Washington’s decision-makers failed to recognize that China is not a droop in terms of technology. When confronted with a challenge, China will support its national interests with the resources and expertise required to get past any barrier.
Washington needs to come to terms with the fact that trying to suppress China is a waste of time and harmful to the interests of the country. We Americans may regret the day when our emphasis on making China our enemy materialized.
