In the past three months, the mood of the Chinese people has also been ups and downs, and I believe that many people are very worried about Huawei's situation.
Just entering 2023, Huawei officially announced good news and has turned the crisis into safety. But it didn't take long for foreign media to break the news that "a new round of sanctions from the old United States will land in May". Wave after wave, the amount of information is too large, it is really difficult to calm down, can Huawei still bear it?
Recently, Shanghai Jiao Tong University released an article about Ren Zhengfei's speech, which seems to give the answer. According to Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's technology research and development expenditure in 2022 reached 164 billion yuan, and it will continue to increase investment in scientific research in the future. It can be seen that Huawei's determination is great, and it has not been affected by the US suppression and continues to go its own way.
It is reported that in order to achieve a breakthrough in "China Chip" as soon as possible and break the blockade of chip technology, Huawei "burned" 110.5 billion yuan in the first three quarters of 2022, that is, in just 9 months. What is this concept?
Moutai's total revenue in 2022 will be 136.4 billion yuan, and the sum of scientific research investment in the entire Internet industry, including Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and other enterprises, may barely be able to "equal" with Huawei's scientific research investment. There is no doubt that Huawei is determined to develop its own chips and completely get rid of its dependence on Meixin.
In fact, after Huawei was suppressed, the central media could not sit still, and the People's Daily spoke out many times and emphasized the importance of independent research and development. And issued a reminder to Chinese enterprises - completely abandon the illusion of "science and technology without borders", stop pinning hopes on "compradors", only self-developed core technologies can bring a sense of security to Chinese enterprises. There is only one way to go in front of Chinese enterprises, adhere to independent research and development + diversified layout, only in this way can we accelerate "de-beautification" and complete the transformation.
One thing is that the People's Daily is right, in addition to Huawei, other temporarily safe Chinese technology companies cannot be taken lightly, must have a sense of crisis, start self-research as soon as possible, lay out more fields, and use scientific and technological "weapons" to protect themselves and "arm" themselves. As long as you master more core technologies in the field of cutting-edge science and technology, you can have the right to speak and not be afraid of being suppressed by Western countries.
At present, Huawei has made some breakthroughs in 5G, cloud computing, chips and other fields, and also has a sense of patent protection. According to the report "Number of Invention Patent Authorizations in China", Huawei holds 7,630 core patented technologies, ranking first in China. On the world stage, China also applied for the largest number of patents in 2022, surpassing the United States.
Over the past few decades, U.S. technology giants have used technological advantages to continuously erect barriers for Chinese companies, thereby charging "sky-high" patent fees. And when Huawei seized the opportunity in the 5G field and gained the lead, Laomei also began to be afraid. Perhaps it is worried that Huawei will also rely on the 3000+ core 5G patents in its hands to "counter" European and American technology companies.
But this is completely "with the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman", Ren Zhengfei said, Huawei has no time to charge patent licensing fees. But since Lao Mei cut off Huawei's overseas business through the "stuck neck", this is equivalent to creating a "gap" for Huawei, and there is every opportunity to collect patent licensing fees from Western countries.
It is foreseeable that under the suppression of the United States, Chinese enterprises not only have a sense of crisis, but also know how to use patented technology to protect their rights and interests, which is a good thing for the development of Chinese science and technology, I hope that more Chinese enterprises can attach importance to scientific research, what do you think about this?
