Text/Literary Review Technology
In the field of global science and technology, the United States has always held great power, whether it is scientific research strength, invention patents or technology conversion rate, American companies and scientific research institutions are unparalleled in the world. However, with the development of China's economy and social progress, China's scientific and technological strength is also increasing day by day, and in many fields it can not only wrestle with its American counterparts, but even has a leading trend.
As the world's knowledge economy and high-tech "the first person to eat crabs", the United States knows better than anyone that a country's scientific development and leading technology can not only greatly help economic development, but also enable a country to be invincible in the fierce international competition at any time. What's more, China as early as 2011, has been the world's second largest economy, and the gap with the United States is narrowing year by year, in this regard, the United States can not sit still, began to frantically encircle and restrict China, first of all, China's communications and semiconductor industry.
The United States continues to escalate its blockade of Huawei technology
Starting from Huawei's supply cut, the United States has gradually set off a counterwave of blockades and restrictions against Chinese enterprises and related industries in the field of science and technology. The reason for choosing Huawei, it goes without saying that Huawei, as a leader in the field of domestic and even world terminal communications, has strong technical strength and industrial effects that have deeply stimulated the sensitive nerves of the United States.
In the past, the United States positioned its own companies as industry technology leaders, while Chinese companies were mostly advertised as cheap product foundries, and the reason why everyone has been at peace for so many years is because Chinese companies rarely have the core technology of a certain industry, let alone the strength to compete with the leading American companies. Americans are comfortably enjoying the huge dividends brought by technological leadership, and naturally sitting on the trade advantage of "200 million shirts for one Boeing aircraft". However, Huawei's rise indicates that this unbalanced technology situation and trade status is gradually being broken.
First of all, in the field of mobile terminals, since 2018, Huawei mobile phones have been far ahead of Apple in the Chinese market, occupying an absolute market advantage; In the same year, Huawei's 5G communication technology was unveiled and promoted on a large scale, relying on its strong technical strength and a surprising number of patents to press Ericsson, Cisco and other communication giants to the ground and rub it; Even in the traditional advantages of the United States, the semiconductor industry, Huawei's Kirin chips have triggered a new wave, even the chip giant Qualcomm, in the face of such a wave is gradually inadequate. In this regard, the United States could not sit still and began to unite its allies to block Chinese high-tech enterprises represented by Huawei all over the world.
Therefore, under the manipulation of the United States, Huawei's proud Kirin chip was rejected by TSMC, resulting in Huawei's Hisikong having design capabilities, but chip products could not land. At the same time, the United States began to restrict the supply of domestic companies to Huawei, first of all, Qualcomm, only willing to provide Huawei with 4G chips, and then Google also took the opportunity to attack, banning Huawei equipment from using Google ecology, which is equivalent to blocking the way for Huawei mobile phones to go to sea.
Even Huawei's 5G communication technology, which has led the world, has begun to disable or even dismantle Huawei equipment due to pressure from all parties in the United States, and Huawei's overseas promotion of 5G is particularly difficult.
In this way, Huawei fell from the peak of glory to the bottom of restrictions, and Huawei's long winter came ruthlessly.
Undaunted by the blockade, Huawei rose to the occasion and decisively fought back
I thought that with its own various suppression and blockade, Huawei was bound to collapse and let the United States slaughter, when the United States could enter the board of directors, split the main business, and then acquire and control it as it did with other rival technology companies in history. However, reality has given the United States a resounding slap in the face.
Just after the United States announced various measures against Huawei, Huawei seemed to know in advance, all spare tires turned straight overnight, the United States banned the Google system, and Huawei launched an alternative domestic Hongmeng system; If the 5G chip is cut off, then improve the communication connection efficiency and allow 4G mobile phones to run at high network speeds; The more the United States blockades, the more uncompromising Huawei is, the more it increases innovation investment, even if the chip is not foundry, Huawei HiSilicon is still promoted to a first-level business group, even in the most difficult 2021, Huawei still invests 22% of its revenue into research and development, which is definitely a big bet for Ren Zhengfei.
But as Huawei's official Weibo said, "since ancient heroes have many tribulations", in the face of unprecedented tribulations and twists and turns, although "the next to fall must be Huawei", but Huawei at this time, will definitely not fall.
Now two years later, Ren Zhengfei seems to have "won the bet", although Huawei was suddenly cut off from supply, resulting in profits, but in 2022 Huawei has stopped the downward trend of revenue, and the consumer business has gradually recovered, and the PC business has doubled. At the recently concluded Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Huawei made a stunning appearance after three years of silence, not only covering the largest exhibition hall, but also demonstrating Huawei's still leading scientific and technological strength in the latest technology field.
Huawei recently played the "king bomb" at the MWC 2023 conference in Barcelona, Huawei high-profile showed its latest research and development of 5.5G technology, according to Huawei data, the launch of 5.5G technology can reach 10Gbps peak speed, and compatible with both ten-carrier aggregation and millimeter wave technology. Even if Qualcomm took the lead in releasing the 5.5G chip X75, it also reached the world's highest speed of 10Gbps, but in the compatibility and reliability of intelligent connection, Huawei is ahead, thanks to Passive IOT Internet of Things technology, no need to plug in, Huawei 5.5G can achieve the connection of more than 10 billion smart devices, compared to 5G, Huawei 5.5G can achieve 10 times improvement in energy efficiency, latency, intelligence and stability. Therefore, on the whole, Huawei's 5.5G technology is still significantly ahead of Qualcomm.
In general, in the past, the United States has been quite jealous of China's 5G technology, although it also wants to make achievements in the field of 5G, but Huawei's strength in the 5G ruling level, the United States knows that it is hopeless to turn over, so it thinks that it can skip 5G and directly cross to 6G, and the province will be stuck in the neck of China in the future. However, what they didn't expect was that even in the 6G field, Huawei is still the company with the most patents in the world, and once we restrict the United States in the 6G and 5.5G fields, I am afraid that the United States will have to taste the taste of being stuck in the neck.
