100 Families Help Program Huawei's Dilemma and the Road to Independence.
In recent years, Huawei has encountered layers of suppression and resistance from Western countries. However, in this predicament, Huawei did not give up, but chose the path of independent R&D and innovation, and finally realized the rebirth of the enterprise.
Since 2018, the United States has completely banned Huawei from purchasing American technology and components on the grounds of the so-called "**". Since then, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and other Western countries have followed suit, formulating various policies to restrict Huawei, trying to expel Huawei from their own communication network market. This has had a huge impact on Huawei, with key components and software** being cut off, and the smartphone business also being hit hard.
In the face of difficulties, Huawei chose to be self-reliant and increase R&D investment. Through the "1+8+N" strategy, Huawei has made independent innovations in key areas such as chips and operating systems. The Kirin 9000 mobile phone chip released this year is a successful example, and its performance is comparable to that of top foreign chips. In addition, Huawei's self-developed Harmony OS also provides the software foundation for its smart device business. Although it still faces difficulties, Huawei has achieved self-sufficiency in key areas and the company has been reborn. This reflects the determination and potential of Chinese enterprises to innovate independently when facing difficulties.
Sweden's disassembly has caused a backlash
Sweden dismantled a large number of 5G equipment supplied by Huawei, which triggered a backlash for Ericsson to move out of Sweden. In recent years, Sweden has been dismantling a large number of 5G base station equipment provided by Huawei. Despite the fact that Huawei equipment passed a security review by an international testing agency, Sweden insisted on the action under pressure from the United States. They plan to complete the complete dismantling of Huawei equipment by 2025.
The move sparked strong discontent from local Swedish companies. Ericsson, Sweden's communications equipment giant, has publicly stated that it wants to move out of Sweden and transfer more business and resources to other countries. Statistics show that Ericsson's market share in China has fallen sharply, with a year-on-year increase of 74% in the third quarter, due in part to Chinese consumers' resistance to Sweden's exclusion of Huawei.
It is clear that the Chinese market, with a population of 1.4 billion, is more important to Ericsson than Sweden's small market. To punish Sweden for discriminatory practices, Chinese consumers have expressed a preference for domestically produced equipment. As a result, Ericsson suffered huge losses in its home market in Sweden. Moving out of Sweden was a reluctant move by Ericsson, and it also reflected the negative backlash effect of Sweden's dismantling of Huawei equipment.
Recognize problems and promote cooperation
In view of Huawei's experience in Sweden, we need to rationally understand the causes of the relevant problems, so as to promote the equitable development of international science and technology cooperation.
First of all, we should understand that there is a contradiction between what Sweden is doing and its international image as a neutral country. Sweden has long been known as one of the "permanently neutral countries" and advocates an independent foreign policy. But in the Huawei case, Sweden clearly chose to side with the United States, ignoring the facts and directly banning Huawei equipment. Such a tendentious approach is very different from the image of a neutral State.
Second, we need to recognize the huge potential of the Chinese market and the enhancement of China's scientific and technological strength. China has a very large market of 1.4 billion people, which is an opportunity for any multinational company that cannot be ignored. This is reflected in Ericsson's declining market share in China. At the same time, Chinese high-tech companies such as Huawei have also made great strides through independent innovation, and have leading advantages in many fields, which makes it difficult to rely on imports.
Finally, we should rationally recognize the complexity of the problem and see the interests behind it, rather than simply sitting on the sidelines. Only on the basis of rational judgment can the international community truly reach a consensus on cooperation and put scientific and technological exchanges back on the right track. We can express our attitude towards Sweden's choice through economic means, but we should also keep an open and inclusive mind. Because all countries in the world are a community with a shared future after all, it is necessary to strengthen communication and dialogue on the basis of equality, rather than confrontation.
To sum up, in response to the injustice that Huawei has encountered in Sweden, we must not only understand the cause of the problem, but also maintain a rational attitude. Only in this way can we promote the healthy development of scientific and technological cooperation and enable enterprises of all countries to be treated fairly in the international market. We have reason to believe that through the efforts of all parties, Huawei and other Chinese companies will eventually be respected and recognized as they deserve.
