preface
Recently, the new issue of the "Global 5G Standard Essential Patent List" was released, which is based on the patent rights holdings of global companies for 5G technology as the evaluation standard, so the announcement of this list is also considered to be the official release of the results of the "5G battle" in recent years.
In this list, Huawei from China topped the list, and there are 5 other companies from China on the list. Correspondingly, in this list, only two of the top ten companies are from the United States, less than half of China's, and the ranking is not high.
After seeing this list, some people said that the United States has been sanctioning Huawei for many years in an attempt to hinder the development of China's 5G technology. Today, U.S. sanctions do not seem to be working. Some people directly said that the United States had completely lost this game.
In fact, since the United States chose to sanction Huawei, it has embarked on a road of no return that harms others and is not conducive to itself. Over the years, the United States has been bent on preventing China from developing 5G technology, but has forgotten that its own development is the most important thing.
Therefore, this wave of "ineffective sanctions" operation of the United States is actually expected by many people.
1. Sanction Huawei
The US sanctions against Huawei can be traced back to 2019, starting from the first round of US sanctions against Huawei in May, and so far, the United States has successively imposed four rounds of sanctions on Huawei.
In mid-May 2019, then-U.S. President Donald Trump signed a presidential decree and asked the U.S. Department of Commerce to strictly comply with it.
On the same day, the US Department of Commerce announced specific measures in response to this presidential decree, adding Huawei to the "Entity List". This list is similar to the black and white lists, and if American companies want to trade with companies on this list, they must first obtain the approval of the relevant US authorities.
In this way, if Huawei wants to cooperate with some companies in the United States, it is not as convenient as before.
The following year, in the third round of US sanctions against Huawei, companies such as "TSMC" in Taiwan, and "Samsung" in South Korea were also included in their ranks.
Also in mid-May, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security amended FPDs, a rule that directly led to U.S. regulation of semiconductor products based on U.S. technology and software, even if those products were owned by companies that were not subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
Affected by this round of sanctions, Huawei can no longer buy chips from "Samsung" and "TSMC" and other channels, and chips can be described as one of the core components for Huawei. Therefore, the United States believes that this time Huawei will inevitably not be able to turn over.
But Huawei has long expected that there may be such a day, so as early as 2019, Huawei has gradually reduced its purchases with related companies in the United States, reducing its dependence on the United States.
Three months later, the United States quickly imposed a fourth round of sanctions on Huawei. In this round of sanctions, the United States has included all companies related to Huawei on the "Entity List" and expanded the scope of restricted products to all products.
In response to the US policy, a number of companies, including Google and AutoNavi issued statements terminating all cooperation with Huawei.
Google is not a popular search engine for Chinese mainland users, so it doesn't matter much to them whether Google comes pre-installed or supported on their phones. Users in Europe and the United States are different, as their most common search engine, Google is almost a must-have in their mobile phones.
Therefore, after Huawei no longer supports the use of Google Engine, many European and American users have abandoned Huawei and chose other brands, which has greatly hit Huawei's overseas markets.
In addition, Google's Android system components are the most important component of almost every mobile phone, once Google no longer provides Android system components, Huawei is likely to be unable to produce new products, which may also be the idea of the United States from the beginning.
But the United States underestimated Huawei. Huawei has long understood that in order to truly become a competitive enterprise, core technologies such as systems must be firmly in its hands.
Therefore, as early as 2019, Huawei began to develop its own system, and demonstrated its Hongmeng operating system at the new machine conference in October 2020.
In fact, the reason why the United States sanctioned Huawei in this way is simply because it is afraid that Huawei will one day have more advanced technology than it.
In other related fields, the United States can still say that there is no opponent, but in the field of communication technology, Huawei's 5G technology is obviously beyond the United States.
Therefore, the US sanctions against Huawei are largely intended to hinder the development of Huawei's 5G technology. It's just that now it seems that the U.S. plan has clearly failed.
2.5G development status
5G technology is the fifth generation of communication technology, with the advantages of high speed, low latency, and wide connection. At a time when mobile communication is becoming more and more important, 5G technology has become a technology that countries around the world are competing to develop.
China's development in 5G technology has always been among the best, and in recent years, a large number of enterprises and institutions have emerged that have made outstanding contributions to 5G technology, among which Huawei is the most prominent.
Huawei's development has been hindered by US sanctions in recent years, but its research progress in 5G technology is not inferior to others, and it ranks first in the list of 5G standard essential patents recently announced.
Not only that, among the top ten listed in this list, 5 Chinese companies are among them, of which Xiaomi is in the top ten for the first time.
You know, Xiaomi is not a traditional communication company, as a rising star, compared with those predecessors, Xiaomi began the research and development of related technologies almost a full decade.
In order to catch up with what has fallen in the past ten years, Xiaomi's technicians have been working hard and never giving up any opportunity to learn from others, which has achieved the current "latecomer" achievement.
Not only Huawei, Xiaomi, but some of the other Chinese companies on this list are worth learning from everyone.
From this list alone, Chinese companies have achieved quite good results in the field of 5G technology in terms of quantity and quality.
As for the United States, in this list, two American companies have entered the top ten, and these two companies have been supported by the United States in recent years. It is worth noting that although both companies are in the top ten, they are not at the top.
It can be seen that in the field of 5G technology, the United States no longer has an advantage, and whether the future 5G technology field will be China's world depends on China's next performance.
3. Future prospects
Over the years, the United States has been busy sanctioning China and restricting Huawei, but has forgotten that no matter how the outside world develops, its own progress is the most important.
According to the current trend, the United States has unsurprisingly lost the best opportunity for the development of 5G technology, and naturally will lose most of the 5G technology-related markets.
Although the US sanctions policy has slowed down the development process of China's 5G technology, it cannot really cut off China's 5G road. Perhaps the United States should reflect on what it has done in recent years and calm down to conduct its own research on 5G technology.
Although the United States has probably lost its advantages and competitiveness related to 5G technology, China can never be taken lightly.
On the one hand, the United States is, after all, an established technological power, and its technological advantages are not something that other countries can easily surpass overnight. Therefore, while adhering to the path of independence and self-determination, China can also appropriately learn some of the previous scientific research methods and scientific research spirit of the United States.
On the other hand, although China's 5G technology development is already at the forefront of the world, many other technologies in China are still in the initial stages of development. Because of the U.S. eye, these technologies could be sanctioned by it at any time.
In order to cope with the interference of the United States and other external factors, China can never slack off and never stop moving forward, otherwise it may be "shot to death" by the world's tide at any time.
It is precisely because of the blockade and suppression by the United States that China's various technologies can continue to make progress. In the near future, China will inevitably have more advantageous technologies. China should bear in mind the lessons of the United States, not be arrogant because of technological superiority, and use its own technology to effectively benefit the entire human society.
epilogue
To sum up, with the results of the "5G controversy", the US sanctions against China's 5G technology have completely failed. While being proud of the national enterprises represented by Huawei, we should also be clear about the true intention of the United States to constantly sanction Huawei in recent years.
Although the United States fears that the world will not be chaotic, it is ultimately for its own development interests. Huawei has made quite good progress in all aspects of technical research, which has given the United States a huge sense of crisis.
However, the way the United States responded to the crisis was not to strengthen itself, but to frantically suppress the research of other countries that are still in the development stage, which led to the four rounds of US sanctions against Huawei.
However, Huawei and other national enterprises adhere to the road of independence and self-determination, and have achieved satisfactory results in the "5G battle", while the relevant achievements of the United States are not enough. This result shows that in order to maintain the advantage, you must keep moving forward, not suppressing your opponent.
With the unremitting efforts of relevant researchers, 5G technology has become China's dominant technology. It is believed that in the future, there will be more other technologies to become China's advantages, when China no longer has to fear US sanctions and blockades, and China's all walks of life can develop steadily.
