Huawei's rise in the communications sector has indeed put tremendous pressure on giants such as Qualcomm in the United States, Ericsson in Sweden, Nokia in Finland and Samsung in South Korea. Huawei became the first company to release 5G technology, and its 5G technology, 5G chips, and devices have been a huge success in the market.
However, Huawei's rise has not been without its challenges. The United States has created a series of 5G security issues in an attempt to exclude Huawei from the construction of global 5G networks. In addition, the United States has joined other countries to form the "Quad Alliance" and the "6G Alliance" in an attempt to limit Huawei's influence in the development of 5G services.
Despite the siege from many sides, Huawei has not flinched. Huawei firmly believes that 5G without Huawei will be the biggest loss for other manufacturers. With the gradual acceleration and improvement of Huawei's 5G construction, some European countries that initially followed the United States have also begun to turn around. German authorities have made it clear that Huawei's 5G equipment is the most advanced and secure equipment available. As a result, countries such as France, Italy, and Portugal have lifted restrictions on Huawei, and even actively supported their own operators to cooperate with Huawei. Huawei's 5G technology is gradually gaining recognition in these countries.
According to the data, Huawei currently has 6,583 core 5G patents, accounting for 14% of the world's total59% share, ranking first in the world. However, even with such a strong force, Huawei still faces rejection from some countries. Sweden, for example, announced in October 2020 that it would ban 5G equipment from Huawei and ZTE, and plans to remove all communications equipment from the two Chinese companies by 2025.
Sweden, a small, relatively neutral country, has taken a tough stance on the issue of banning Huawei's 5G equipment. Sweden's Supreme Court has ruled that all communications equipment from Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE must be dismantled by 2025. This decision can be said to be a major blow to Huawei.
However, Sweden did not expect the sanctions to be launched so soon. Since Sweden announced the ban on Huawei's 5G equipment, local communications giant Ericsson has been boycotted by a large number of netizens. Ericsson originally had a 10% revenue share in the Chinese market, but now** it has reached less than 5%, and its revenue in Q2 and Q3 2023 has also exceeded 60%, with most of the losses coming from the Chinese market. Ericsson's share of the Chinese market has reached 6%, far behind Huawei and ZTE. According to the current development trend, Ericsson may lose the Chinese market completely.
In addition, Huawei also has the largest number of patents in the world in the field of 6G, which means that in the future 6G market, Ericsson may not be able to obtain orders from the Chinese market. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Ericsson. In fact, Ericsson's revenue and market share** had a huge impact on Sweden's economic development and global communications position.
As a leading global provider of communications equipment, Huawei is facing enormous challenges and pressures. However, Huawei will not be deterred, on the contrary, it will continue to pursue innovation and strive to push the boundaries of technology. Huawei's technology accumulation and the number of patents in the 5G field are unmatched by other manufacturers, which provides a strong guarantee for Huawei to maintain its competitive advantage in the global market.
Despite being rejected by some countries, Huawei remains customer-centric and committed to providing high-quality communication solutions to users around the world. Huawei's technologies and products have not only achieved great success in the 5G field, but also in the 6G field. Huawei will continue to invest heavily in technology research and development to promote innovation in the communications industry.
Huawei's rise is not only the rise of a Chinese company, but also the rise of China's communications industry. Huawei's success represents not only the rise of China's technology, but also the rise of China's manufacturing industry. Through its own efforts and innovations, Huawei has proved to the world the strength and competitiveness of Chinese enterprises.
Overall, Huawei has made remarkable achievements, and its 5G technology is widely recognized around the world. However, Huawei has also faced exclusion and restrictions from some countries. As an industry leader, Huawei needs to continue to work hard to improve its technical capabilities and promote the innovation and development of the industry. Only cooperation and win-win results can bring real progress, and I hope that Sweden can recognize the situation and not make wrong decisions again.
