Behind the attention
American public opinion has recently continued to pay attention to Huawei Mate 60 Pro, a flagship mobile phone made in China. Some call this concern a slap in the face to the United States, but we should think deeply about the motivation behind it. Why can the release of a mobile phone attract so much attention and even set off heated discussions?
Behind the technology field
At the heart of this concern seems to be a surprise at Huawei's progress in technology. The United States has long believed that China cannot be self-sufficient in high-end chips, but reality tells us that China is rapidly closing this gap. The unveiling of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro is not an isolated event, it reflects the overall rise of Chinese technology.
Looking back over the past few years, China has made remarkable progress in many areas. For example, China's space technology has impressed the world. In 2020, China successfully brought Chang'e-5 back to Earth, the first lunar sample return mission with a human lunar mission since the 1970s. In addition, China's quantum communication technology has also made significant breakthroughs, hailed as the future of absolutely secure communication.
Rethink restrictions
The restrictions imposed by the United States on Huawei and other Chinese technology companies deserve deep rethinking. These measures were formulated out of concern that China's technological advances could pose a threat to the United States, but will they really achieve their desired goals? Have restrictions become devastated rather than effective deterrents?
U.S. restrictions are considered impractical in some cases. Trying to limit the development of Chinese tech companies, for example, is akin to trying to build a levee in the midst of rolling waves. Although the levee may block some waves for a while, eventually it will be washed away, leaving islands behind. The success of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro shows that China has the ability to move forward firmly in the face of these challenges.
China's technological rise
China's tech rise has surpassed the success of a single company, reflecting the growth and expansion of China's overall tech ecosystem. The Chinese government has been encouraging innovation and technological development, investing in high-end technology research and development, and this strategy is gradually succeeding.
China's semiconductor industry is a good example. Despite extensive U.S. restrictions on China's semiconductor industry, China has made important breakthroughs in this area. For example, Chinese chipmakers such as SMIC have made significant progress in high-performance chips. These achievements are not only beneficial to China itself, but also contribute to the sharing and development of global technology.
Technology sharing and win-win
In today's globalized world, technological progress is the well-being of all mankind. Both the United States and China should abandon the narrow concept of the state and give more consideration to the sharing and win-win of technology. If one country sees technological progress in another country as a threat, this in itself is an abnormal way of thinking.
China's scientific and technological progress is not only beneficial to China itself, but also to the world. China's high-speed rail technology, green energy technology and anti-epidemic experience have all had a positive impact on the world. Therefore, Washington should look at China's technological rise from a broader perspective, rather than trying to contain it.
epilogue
The success of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro is just a microcosm of China's technological progress. China is moving firmly towards the goal of high-level technological self-reliance, and this trend is irreversible. The United States and other countries should draw inspiration from this and pursue more technology sharing and win-win to promote global scientific and technological progress, rather than falling into the vicious circle of competition and restrictions. In the wave of technological progress, let us move forward together and achieve common prosperity.
