Communication technology originated in Europe and the United States, and has been dominated by them from the 2G-4G era, but when the 5G era arrived, it was overtaken by China, and Huawei became the only communication equipment manufacturer in the world that can achieve 5G end-to-end services. The European region, which is willing to accept high technology, has become the first choice for the promotion of 5G technology.
Now, with the advancement of science and technology, Huawei has made major breakthroughs in a number of high-tech fields. For example, 5G technology, Kirin chip research and development, HarmonyOS innovation, and Ascend AI computing capabilities have all developed by leaps and bounds. These achievements also represent China's strength, but they also make the United States feel threatened like never before.
As a great power and a leader in the global field of science and technology, the United States naturally does not want any country to shake its international status. Seeing the rise of China, the United States has carried out all-round suppression. Among them, Huawei has been the most severely suppressed, and any technology related to the United States has been completely blocked without any permission.
For this reason, the United States has also been cracking down on Huawei's equipment, claiming that Huawei's equipment has great security risks. It's no secret, and the U.S. has asked its allies to dismantle and disable Huawei's 5G equipment. With such a request from the United States, many European countries have terminated their 5G contracts with Huawei.
The development of Huawei's 5G technology
As one of the most important and high-quality markets in the world, Huawei has been deeply involved in the European market for many years before the development of 5G, which is to lay the groundwork for 5G orders. Two years ago, even the United States did not expect that China's network communication technology would develop so quickly.
Although facing the suppression of the United States and the vacillation of Europe and other countries, Huawei did not choose to give up, but more firmly devoted itself to independent research and development. After the return of the Kirin 9000S chip, Huawei's Mate60 series mobile phones regained the top spot in the Chinese mobile phone market, an achievement that is obviously the best response to the United States.
But Huawei's goal has never been more than just 5G. In the four years since the national 5G was put into commercial use, it has continued to lead value creation, and 5.5G is the inevitable path of 5G network evolution. Although it is constantly improving, the 5G coverage rate is uneven across countries, and the global 5G population coverage rate is only 29%, which is far from the 92% 4G population coverage.
The 5G network has improved the communication speed, and the download speed can reach hundreds of Mbps, which greatly shortens the transmission time. In addition, the latency of 5G networks is also lower than that of 4G networks, with a latency of only 1 millisecond, which enables more efficient communication. Among them, Huawei's 5G technology is in the leading position.
Huawei's 5.5G solution will increase network capabilities tenfold and provide a more efficient network experience. For operators, this means greater network capacity, more stable network connectivity, and better operational efficiency. And users can also experience a better online experience.
Although the United States has always advocated the openness and fairness of the global communications market, and does not want to see huge interests being carved up by Chinese companies like Huawei, its suppression of Huawei's various interests is essentially due to the competition of economic interests and the unequal distribution of benefits.
The U.S. continues to crack down on Huawei equipment
Since 2019, the United States has used its global clout to demand that its allies completely sever ties with Huawei and to force allies in North America and Europe to remove Huawei communications equipment. With the pressure of the United States, European and American countries have torn up the 5G contracts signed with Huawei.
In France, for example, Huawei had a long-standing relationship with France, but due to pressure from the United States, they had to plan to remove more than 3,000 Huawei base stations in 2020. Although France received threats from the United States, France quickly realized that there was no equipment that could replace Huawei.
In the past four years, France has also realized the importance of Huawei, and even though 3,000 antennas have been removed, its attitude towards Huawei has never changed. The attitude towards Huawei is always a state of acceptance, and it can be seen from here that France attaches great importance to Huawei.
But just when France suffered huge losses, Huawei had a direct showdown to build its first overseas factory in France to produce 5G base station parts. The total investment will exceed 200 million euros, and it is expected to be officially put into operation in 2025, with an annual output value of 1 billion euros, mainly producing modules and parts for communication base stations for the European market.
Although Huawei is already a world-class enterprise, and there are more than 100 countries in the world that use its products, Huawei did not have an overseas factory before. In a communications market like Europe, Huawei is still cooperating with France, which is also the first step to break the US blockade.
Although France is facing pressure from the United States, France's attitude towards Huawei has always been inclusive. Why did France reject pressure from the United States, and why did China insist on being stationed in France?
In fact, the biggest reason is caused by the suppression of the United States, which often suppresses other countries in order to consolidate its position in the international community. Among them, Huawei has become the biggest threat to the United States, but if you understand it, you will find that the United States is the biggest hidden danger to network information security.
Huawei's economic impact on France is like a big tree, standing quietly under the blue sky. This is not just an ordinary tree, but a tree that produces technological achievements, and its roots are deeply rooted in the French economy.
Huawei enters France
In fact, Huawei began planning as early as 2020, and Huawei also won a large number of 5G orders from European countries. France welcomes the establishment of a factory in France to be able to provide mobile network technology products and solutions to European customers.
Huawei will live up to France's expectations after setting up a factory in France. Huawei has brought many benefits to France in the past, and now that Huawei continues to increase its investment in France and make France a research and development base for the European market, France will see more benefits. This is also so that the two countries can continue to cooperate.
At present, the network layout of European countries has lagged behind China, and it will be difficult to catch up with China even if it takes ten years of development. Although there was previous suppression by the United States, European countries still realized the importance of cooperation with Huawei, and Huawei's establishment of a factory in France further confirmed the recognition of Huawei equipment by European countries.
After all, France's previous dismantling of Huawei's communication equipment seems to be a "point of no return", and the technology of European countries has fallen behind. It has also caused huge economic losses to European countries, and this unilateral destruction of the contract is obviously "lifting a stone to shoot itself in the foot".
Huawei's choice to set up a factory in France is also due to the good cooperative relationship between China and France, which also reflects the importance and trust in the European market. Such a decision will open up new opportunities for Huawei, which will also be able to provide a position in the European market through this factory.
Huawei's first overseas factory has landed in France and is expected to start production by the end of 2025. The construction of this project not only reflects Huawei's investment in the European market and its high confidence in future development, but also injects strong impetus into the company's future development.
If France does not allow Huawei to build factories there, Huawei has nothing to do. From the current point of view, France allows the construction of local factories on the seabed, which shows that Huawei equipment is very recognized in the hearts of France. On the other hand, the United States has so far failed to come up with alternative technologies and solutions, and many European countries have begun to cooperate with Huawei.
This also shows that many countries are very recognizable to Huawei's equipment and 5G technology, and now even with the suppression of the United States, it still cannot stop the development of 5G technology, and many countries are also aware of this, so it is reasonable for Huawei to enter France, and only close cooperation between countries can have better development.
Then again, even if France does not cooperate with China, it is France itself that suffers. If China wants to occupy a place in the world, it is the most important thing to continuously strengthen its own strength, and "weak countries have no diplomacy" This is an eternal law.
France is an important part of the European market, and Huawei is definitely facing a lot of pressure to put it into production, but for China, it has grown under pressure every time, and there are amazing breakthroughs. Despite the difficulties it faced, Huawei has always believed that it will succeed in the French market and achieve its goal of globalization.
