overweight suppression can only damage the global industry chain will be forced to stand in line

On the afternoon of May 18th, Huawei issued the "Media Statement on the Modification of Direct Product Rules by the US Department of Commerce against Huawei" (hereinafter referred to as the "Declaration") at the 17th Global Analyst Conference, denounced "the US government has further curbed Huawei's Development, disregarding the concerns of many industry associations and enterprises, and expanding and revising the direct product rules without a bottom line. "
On May 15, the first anniversary of the US listing of Huawei on the entity list, the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued new regulations for Huawei.
The regulation proposes that products produced outside the United States, such as the direct use of technology or software regulated by the United States ’Export Administration Regulations, or the equipment and plants producing the product, directly use the technology regulated by the United States’ Export Administration Regulations or Software should be subject to the regulations and need to be licensed before it can be exported.
According to the explanation of Huawei employees, as long as there is a trace of American technology in the production chain, it may be affected by the export ban. Even if a US-made screwdriver is used to export products to Huawei, it is considered to use US technology.
At the same time, the regulation gives a 120-day time limit for products that have already begun production on May 15 and are temporarily not subject to the ban.
During this period, it is difficult to predict how the international situation and industrial environment will develop. Therefore, the impact of the United States on this regulation also remains to be seen.
Huawei stated in the "Declaration" that it is conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the incident and promised to do its best to find a solution. It is hoped that customers and suppliers will work with Huawei to eliminate the adverse effects of this discriminatory rule.
Zhang Guobin, a well-known expert in the field of semiconductors and founder of the Electronic Innovation Network, told a reporter from Science and Technology Daily: "Huawei is a banner in China's high-tech field. The United States is precisely attacking Huawei. It is against China's high-tech industry and the global industrial chain. A family matter. "
The unlimited traceability of software and hardware in this supply chain will inevitably affect Huawei's business. More than 2,000 Huawei suppliers have been pushed to the stage by the United States. Under different geopolitical pressures and considering their own business interests, different companies may have to face the choice of "stand in line".
Guo Ping, Huawei ’s rotating chairman, said that in the past year, under the circumstances where a large number of industrial technologies were not available, Huawei struggled to survive and strive to move forward. In today's world, an integrated coordination system has been formed, and this system should not and cannot be reversed. Standards and industry chain fragmentation are not beneficial to any party, and will have a serious impact on the entire industry.
The "Statement" pointed out, "In the long run, the trust foundation for global cooperation in industries such as chips will be destroyed, and conflicts and losses in the industry will be further intensified. The United States will use its own technological advantages to suppress other countries’ enterprises, which will certainly weaken the use of the United States by other countries ’enterprises. Confidence in technical elements ultimately hurts America ’s own interests. "
Zhang Guobin said that the US Department of Commerce's actions can be said to kill 1,000 enemies and injure 800. The first round of US bans allowed a group of American companies to evaporate billions of dollars in market value, and broke the maintenance of equipment for a large number of small operators.
Zhang Guobin said that the United States does not meet the requirements of the current international general trade rules, which has hit the industry chain unprecedentedly. However, artificial barriers cannot prevent market demand and commercial profit. China is the most important participant in the world economy and an important engine for the development of global companies, especially technology companies. Related US companies have expressed deep concern about the chain reaction caused by this regulation.
This was a blow that Ren Zhengfei had long anticipated.
In today's deeply globalized world, hardly any high-tech enterprise can survive without American technology, and no matter how much Huawei is prepared, it is impossible to use American technology.
In 2009, when Ren Zhengfei was traveling in Sichuan, he wrote in the article "Deep Ambience, Low Zuoyan" that there is a sentence that is still outdated: "The future competition will be a competition between an industrial chain and an industrial chain The overall robustness of the downstream industrial chain is the foundation of Huawei's survival. "
Unprecedented long-arm jurisdiction and suppression, although Huawei's business has been affected to a certain extent, but overall still healthy and upward.
