Outright war?The UK's 83 billion yuan investment plan has been shelved, and foreign media said that it was a sanction on Huawei
Britain follows the United States to make a profit, but now Huawei has a complete showdown, in the face of British restrictions, Huawei's investment plan of 8.3 billion yuan in the UK will be shelved, foreign media comment: This is a sanction for Huawei in the UK.
Sanctions have always been the behavior of the United States, and now there are disputes between Chinese and British companies, so what reason does Huawei actually have to shelve its 8.3 billion yuan investment plan?How will the UK respond to Huawei's attitude?
The UK's containment of Huawei was the trigger for the incident.
The United States has imposed sanctions on China, and the United Kingdom has followed.
It was reported by American television news correspondents"The United States will completely ban Huawei's 5G equipment and restrict the use of 5G"。As American faithful"Followers"The United Kingdom followed suit, orchestrating a policy of restricting China with the United States.
The UK banned Huawei's 5G equipment, and the British "Daily Telegraph" revealed in the latest report that the UK has become another country after the United States to impose chip restrictions on China, and Huawei has also been affected.
In doing so, the UK banned not only Huawei's 5G technology, but also the export of 5nm chips to China.
This has also made Huawei's business unsustainable and has been hit in many ways, so not only has Huawei's mature 5G technology been limited by the UK, but Huawei's desire to continue to develop its own 5G technology has also been blocked because of the UK.
As the most powerful country in the European Union, the UK is an important partner of Huawei after losing its cooperative relationship with the United States, so the impact of the UK's decision on Huawei is naturally no less than the ban on American chips.
In particular, the UK also wrote directly in the document:"Huawei's products cannot be used in all construction projects in Ukraine"。
Huawei's cooperation with the UK has been hampered by British repression.
In 2021, when the epidemic was still in the epidemic, the semiconductor industry was developing rapidly, and it was also a time when the United States' restrictive policies on China were not very deep.
At that time, Huawei took a fancy to the favorable conditions of Cambridge, England, and the location factor was very suitable for the development of high-tech industries, not only with a good industrial foundation, but also with sufficient funds, and not enough high-tech talents.
Therefore, at that time, Huawei decided to establish its own overseas headquarters for photonics business in Cambridge, England, and develop in the UK.
This project is very ambitious, Huawei wants to build a top-level industrial park, this industrial park covering an area of 500 acres has cost Huawei 300 million yuan, of which 8.3 billion yuan has also been invested in other infrastructure construction and talent recruitment.
New World Biotech will also have an exchange with Huawei, and Huawei's 8,600 square meters of land will be leased for 20 years, which will also be part of the agreement, which shows that the ties between Huawei and the British company are deepening, and it is a deep cooperation.
However, the UK has adopted restrictive policies towards Huawei, which makes Huawei sad and makes it want to end this great cooperation.
Huawei's development in the UK has been politicized, and the project has been stymied.
Ending the $8.3 billion partnership was not Huawei's intention.
After all, Huawei invested more than 300 million yuan in the early stage, which is not a small amount, and it also came up with a project plan for cooperation with the United Kingdom, but now it is said that this plan has been suspended, so it can be said that this is not Huawei's original imagination.
The United Kingdom and the United States are similar"***"As an excuse to ban the use of Huawei's equipment, Huawei claimed in the Times and other British **, and promised not to harm the UK's***
But the UK still insists on using this policy against Huawei. If Huawei loses the initiative in the UK market, how can it continue to work hard?
Huawei's $8.3 billion termination was necessary.
You must know that the reason why Huawei wants to establish this campus in the UK is also because it has been deeply involved in the UK market for more than 20 years and already has a certain market foundation, which is more suitable for sustainable development and gradually replaces a cooperative relationship between the United States and China's Huawei.
But now the UK has completely banned Huawei's products, which is a huge challenge for Huawei, if this market is lost, only Huawei optoelectronic companies based in the UK, can be said to be isolated, this is undoubtedly under construction accident.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Huawei intends to phase out this plan.
Huawei's transaction cost 8.3 billion yuan, which is not a small amount for Huawei, and postponing the assessment is a necessary measure at present, but it is not what foreign media say is that Huawei is completely confrontational and wants to sanction the UK.
Will Huawei's plan continue?In the face of Huawei's attitude, will the UK change its policy to promote cooperation with Huawei?
