U.S. ban helping Huawei to achieve self-reliance in chip tech: Rotating Chairman

Xu Zhijun – the Rotating Chairman of Huawei believes that the tough U.S. ban is ultimately helping the company to grow in the chip tech field. Such challenges push the firm to become self-reliant in AI, computing power, and the semiconductor field.

On September 20, Huawei hosted the Connect 2024 conference to shed light on digital productivity. During the event, the Rotating Chairman of the company Xu Zhijun also made a few points about the chip section, U.S. ban, and AI power.

Shedding light on the chip tech importance, Xu said AI sustainability relies on computing power. Whereas, the computing power efficiency depends on a strong chipset technology.

Directly or indirectly, a powerful chip architecture is quite important for the AI and computing power progress. However, the reality is that China lags in the chipmaking field following the U.S. sanctions. Yet, Huawei has a good response to it.

Xu says that the U.S. won’t remove its sanctions on China and Huawei for a long time due to so-called security concerns. This would surely impact the chip manufacturing tech in the region as it is also bound by the tough restrictions.

But Huawei sees these challenges as both possibilities and opportunities. The U.S. ban is helping Huawei to slowly become self-reliant in the chip and AI tech.

Huawei hit by the U.S. sanctions in 2019. The ban restricted the OEM from accessing advanced chipmaking tools in the foreign market. After a struggle of four years, the company reintroduced its self-developed chip Kirin 9000s with Mate 60 Pro.

And the rest of the achievements are in front of us!

Xu Zhjiun notes that advanced chip manufacturing could be limited for now. Although Huawei is making efforts to build more efficient chips with better performance.

Huawei aims to make structural changes and create an independent and reliable computing industry, using its key component – innovation. This will ultimately make the company replace foreign components with self-developed parts for its AI products.

If not immediately, Huawei will definitely achieve advancements in both chipset and AI fields. The company has embarked on the path of “self-reliance” and may soon accomplish its goal of breakthroughs in the chip and AI sector.
