In recent years, the US government can be described as "focused" on Huawei, mainly because Huawei is China's most well-known technology leading enterprise, in the eyes of the United States, after it is defeated, it is easy to target other technology companies, but the United States has taken such great pains to sanction Huawei, but Huawei's EDA tools are speeding up the localization of tools, and there are foreign media: sanctions are lonely!
U.S. sanctions against Huawei failed
When Huawei announced its achievements in 5G, Huawei was targeted by the United States.
Huawei has become the "target" of the United States on the front line of competition, which is actually a microcosm of the suppression of some Chinese high-tech enterprises by the United States.
Angry, whenever a company surpasses a US company, the United States will secretly suppress and sanction.
For Huawei, the United States has tried to suppress Huawei through a series of national forces such as supply cuts, technology blockades, and entity lists to make Huawei submit.
However, all kinds of means have failed to achieve the goal, Huawei would rather lose its glory and lose the high-end mobile phone market, than compromise with the United States.
In just three years, Huawei has completed the development of more than 13,000 devices and the development of more than 4,000 circuit boards.
This time, the US plan fell through, and Huawei, which withstood the pressure, finally made a comeback after two years of silence. As some foreign media said: the United States sanctioned Huawei sanctions a loneliness!
Fortunately, after its own efforts, Huawei still survived under the sanctions of the United States, not only that, but Huawei seems to have a trend of turning over against the wind.
Many people only know that Huawei has invested a lot of research in the field of chips in order not to let the United States get stuck in the neck, but they do not know that in addition to the two major fields of communications and chips, Huawei has been silently contributing to domestic products.
Recently, Xu Zhijun, rotating chairman of Huawei, said; Huawei's chip design EDA tool team and EDA companies within the United Nations jointly build EDA tools required for processes above 14nm, basically localizing EDA tools above 14nm, and will complete comprehensive verification in 2023.
EDA tools are the mother of chips and an indispensable part of chip IC design, and Huawei has overcome some of the key links of autonomous substitution, and if autonomy is achieved, it can basically achieve the prerequisites for semiconductor autonomy.
The dream of semiconductor autonomy becomes a reality. It is estimated that it is really a huge improvement to see domestic 14nm chips within two years.
But in 2023, 14nm process chips are already low-end, and in front of them, there are 10nm, 7nm, 5nm and the 3nm process that TSMC announced mass production just a few days ago.
There is still a big gap between mainland independent chips and advanced, but with the support of national policies, Chinese companies have increased investment in self-developed chips, and more scientific and technological talents have stood out.
The United States may not have imagined that the sanctions would fail.
Why can't the United States get along with Huawei?
As we all know, Huawei is a global 5G leader and super influential in the industry.
In the 2G, 3G, and 4G era, communication patents are in the hands of American companies, and Chinese companies must pay huge patent fees if they want to use these technologies.
But in the 5G era, China's Huawei has sprung up, far surpassing the United States Qualcomm in terms of technology and patents, which makes Biden unable to sit still.
In 2021, Qualcomm's patent fee revenue in the United States reached $6.3 billion.
Relevant data shows that Huawei has accumulated more than 200,000 invention patent applications worldwide, far exceeding Samsung, Qualcomm, Nokia and Apple.
With high-intensity R&D investment, the number of patent applications in the past two years ranks first in the world.
Some people say, you can not buy Huawei equipment, but you should always build 5G! With other technologies, even if it's inefficient.
But in the field of communications, there is a type of patent called a standard essential patent, which is a mandatory patent.
And this patent, Huawei accounts for the largest share of the world.
In other words, if the United States wants to use this patent, it must pay Huawei.
But for the United States, sanctioning Huawei is not just because of money.
Most importantly, Huawei equipment is too secure, and in the eyes of the US government, any Huawei technology will affect the US surveillance plan.
In the field of chips, Huawei, as a communication equipment manufacturer, serves the public and benefits consumers, the equipment prices are relatively low, the quality is getting better and better, the price is getting more and more affordable, and the market share is getting bigger and bigger.
Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm and other equipment manufacturers have reduced profits, seeing Huawei getting bigger and bigger, the United States cannot tolerate this.
As a result, the United States began to use various smear sanctions in an attempt to strangle Huawei in the cradle.
Under the malicious rendering of the United States, Huawei's 5G orders were canceled in large numbers, and during that time, Biden's suppression purpose was indeed achieved.
The United States is most afraid of mobile devices, and at its peak, Huawei's mobile phone sales once surpassed Apple, ranking second in the world, and the first is Samsung.
More importantly, Huawei is not like other domestic brands, it also has self-developed Kirin chips, and its performance level is also not inferior to Qualcomm, which has been immersed in the field for many years.
It can be said that this is the fundamental reason why the United States is afraid, because the more Huawei mobile phone sales, the more US chip exports have been greatly reduced, which seriously affects the core interests of US companies.
The Biden administration has proposed a "technology first" strategy aimed at promoting U.S. scientific and technological research and development and leadership. Huawei is at the forefront of 5G and has become one of the most competitive chip manufacturers in the United States, and the United States will of course stop at nothing to restrict Huawei's development.
In order to advance technological innovation in the United States, the Biden administration must take measures against Huawei. One way is to restrict the use and development of Huawei chips to weaken Huawei's hard-established advantages in the chip field.
To put it bluntly, Huawei, which is getting bigger and bigger in the international market, has become a strong competitor of American companies, because Huawei provides a complete set of products and solutions from communication base stations to terminal equipment.
Moreover, Huawei is not currently listed, it is only a private company, so the United States cannot achieve the purpose of acquiring and controlling Huawei through capital injection.
To put it simply, Huawei does not have a win-win relationship with US capital to form interests, so suppressing Huawei is an inevitable choice for the United States.
The United States decoupling from China pits its own misery
In order to maintain its technological hegemony, the United States has imposed multiple rounds of sanctions on Huawei, which has also brought serious disasters to the global chip industry chain.
Banning TSMC from manufacturing Kirin chips to Huawei and prohibiting Qualcomm from selling 5G chips to Huawei are all thunder operations of the United States.
However, what people did not expect was that the US sanctions against Huawei had the opposite effect.
Due to sanctions against Huawei, it is difficult for the US chip industry to find partners with the same demand as Huawei.
As one of the world's largest chip exporters, the United States has seen a sharp decline in chip prices due to a sharp decline in market demand and a rapid decline in exports.
According to data from the U.S. semiconductor industry, the U.S. chip market lost at least $1.1 trillion.
In 2022, smartphone sales declined, many companies have a backlog of chip inventory, in order to obtain cash turnover, and even began to "liquidate" at low prices, Qualcomm and Intel have also tasted the "bitter fruit"!
Of course, the tragic situation is not only Qualcomm and Intel, NVIDIA's revenue has also declined to varying degrees.
Even Japanese and South Korean chip companies, which have always followed the United States, have also declined.
As the sanctions further intensified, Huawei's pace also slowed down significantly, in 2021, as the sanctions further intensified, resulting in Huawei not having 5G chips available, only from the perspective of smartphone shipments, Huawei has fallen from the top of the list at its peak, all the way out of the top five, and now the market share can only be classified as "other".
The global semiconductor industry then entered winter.
On the surface, the global chip industry has encountered a cold winter, but sooner or later the cold winter will pass, and at present, the consumer electronics market other than mobile phones has begun to replenish.
Some netizens said: The loss of the United States is not big at all, first of all, Huawei has not brought a large number of jobs to the United States, and secondly, after Huawei's mobile phone was sanctioned, the domestic high-end market was basically monopolized by Apple, and it was American companies that enjoyed this wave of dividends.
Although the low-end market is divided by domestic brands, from the system to the chip, the core components still come from the United States, so for the United States, local companies not only have no impact but "blood earn".
The analysis of netizens is impeccable, but the reality is not like that.
Careful friends may find that even if the chip market shrinks, it will not lead to a thunderstorm in the US chip industry, in fact, it is very important that the United States loses China, a large buyer, sales backlog and loss of revenue sources.
On the other hand, the sanctions and blockade of the United States have made the mainland technology industry deeply aware of the importance of self-developed chips.
The United States is not allowed to sell high-precision process chips to us, so we will focus on the low-end field first and strengthen our strengths.
With the continuous efforts of the mainland, 19 of the 20 fastest-growing chip companies in the world are from China, although we are developing slowly, but it has also made the United States feel a crisis.
With the continuous development of Chinese companies, American chip giants Qualcomm and Intel are having a harder time.
Due to the lack of 5G chips and the downturn in the smartphone market, Huawei's situation is still not optimistic, and Huawei's terminal business is still full of challenges.
However, with the breakthrough of technology, Huawei mobile phones will also return to the normal rhythm, Huawei's mobile phone business, will definitely be able to wait for the day of high-end domestic chips.
With the implementation of sanctions and blockades, mainland enterprises have also invested in independent research and development, and no one wants to encounter anything like Huawei, and no one wants to be influenced by the United States and stuck in the neck of others.
Huawei's turnaround has also set a good example for Chinese companies, and from Huawei, many companies see the light, hope and light.
