In mid-May 2020, Lao Mei, in order to strangle Huawei, issued a “chip ban” that shocked the world, and banned 10% of global semiconductor companies from using US technology. Cooperate with Huawei without permission.
However, what Lao Mei did not expect is that although the chip ban has caused some of Huawei's business development to be in trouble, it has not knocked Huawei down, but put itself in an extremely embarrassing situation.
According to the latest data released by the American Semiconductor Association, since reducing cooperation with Chinese companies in the field of science and technology, American semiconductor companies have accumulated losses of up to 420 billion U.S. dollars, and a large number of companies have closed down and are unemployed. More than 500,000, , such as , which acquired , NVIDIA, and Xilinx, were acquired by NVIDIA last year. You must know that Xilinx’s main customer was the Chinese company Huawei!
In addition, Lao America’s chip sanctions on Huawei have also awakened all countries and must build an autonomous and controllable semiconductor industry chain to reduce dependence on MMIC: China builds "Oriental Chip Port",More than 90 domestic high-quality semiconductor companies such as Huawei have established the "China Chip Alliance", 17 European countries have jointly established the "European Chip Alliance", and South Korea has created the world's largest semiconductor IP.
The changes in the semiconductor industry in the world have made Lao Mei realize that will not work to restrict Huawei chips. In the end, he is the saddest person!
In order to avoid being completely isolated, Lao Mei began to relax its chip restrictions on Huawei last year, allowing all chip suppliers to sell to Huawei all chips that cannot be used for the development of 5G. , Huawei can already be equipped with 4G chips from American companies such as , Qualcomm, etc.
However, what everyone did not expect is that after half a year, Lao Mei broke her promise again, and completely broke her promise!
According to media reports, many chip suppliers of have obtained licenses from the United States to sell automotive chips to Huawei, valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.
As we all know, new energy vehicles are the mainstream development trend in the future, and powerful technology companies in the world have begun to deploy in the new energy field.Huawei is no exception, especially after the development of the mobile phone business was blocked, Huawei shifted its focus to the automotive field.
So, will Huawei, which "help car companies build good cars", accept the kindness of the United States? After all, Huawei's ability to obtain chips from suppliers will greatly promote the development of Huawei's enterprise business.
What surprised Lao Mei is that Huawei does not intend to accept the olive branch thrown by Lao Mei!
Huawei said: Huawei’s positioning is very clear, not to build cars, to help traditional car companies build good cars, only to be a intelligent networked car new parts supplier.
It is not difficult to see from Huawei’s response that Huawei has tactfully rejected Lao Mei’s kindness!
Regarding Huawei’s euphemistic rejection, many domestic and foreign industry insiders have expressed their views: China has the ability to manufacture automotive chips, and the overall performance should be better than that of MMIC. In addition, Huawei intends to join forces with domestic semiconductor companies to promote the development of China's chip industry chain.
In the past few decades, Chinese semiconductor companies just rely too much on foreign companies, too much focus on the development of the asset-light industry, focusing on chip design, while ignoring the importance of asset-heavy industries such as chip manufacturing. The tragedy of the neck.
The ancients once said that if stumbles, one must gain wisdom. If you stumble upon the same stone, it is not a problem with your brain. Therefore, it is a very wise decision for Huawei to reject the olive branch thrown by the United States.
chip, the food of modern industry, in order for domestic enterprises to eat full, healthy and vigorously move forward, we must realize localization, and we must not let the tragedy happen again!
