The United States has been courting European allies to persuade them to abandon 5G cooperation with Huawei. Based on this, the United Kingdom wants to dismantle Huawei equipment by 2027, and Sweden also excludes Huawei communication equipment.
These European countries are siding with the United States, but there are also some European countries that are open and cooperative to Huawei. In order to continue to cultivate the European market, Huawei officially announced that it would build its first overseas factory in France, and the United States did not expect this.
Huawei no longer has a business in the United States, and the United States has been-for-tat with it, and various restrictions have continued, so Huawei has no choice but to place its investment projects in Europe. Europe is Huawei's largest market base outside of China.
Huawei has established partnerships in many European countries to provide network infrastructure and technical support to local telecom operators to help them improve network performance and coverage.
Huawei's 5G technology is also widely used and recognized in Europe. Huawei's smartphone products are well received by consumers in the European market and provide strong sales support for Huawei's global smartphone business. Even if European countries stand behind the United States, Huawei has not given up its layout in the European market, but has increased its investment.
Especially in France, Huawei officially announced that its first overseas factory will be built in France, and it is expected to start operation by the end of 2025. The goal is to produce 1 billion devices per year, producing base station chips, communication components, and so on.
With an investment of about 200 million euros, equivalent to more than 1.5 billion yuan, the plant is expected to create 500 jobs and an annual output value of 1 billion euros, equivalent to 7.7 billion yuan. This will not only bring huge economic growth benefits to the French market, but also to the entire European market.
In fact, Huawei began planning this project as early as 2020, when Huawei planned to invest 1.6 billion yuan in France to produce base station chipsets and motherboard components, but for various reasons, the production plan was shelved. Now that Huawei has officially announced that it will be put into production by the end of 2025, it must be ready.
The United States has been encouraging European countries to keep their distance from Huawei, and once European countries want to cooperate with Huawei in 5G and have close exchanges in the field of communications, the United States will not be able to sit still. The United Kingdom originally planned to let Huawei participate in the construction of the 5G core network, but under the interference of the United States, the United Kingdom never let Huawei participate in the construction of the core network to completely exclude it, and the United States did not spend much effort.
But again, Huawei will not give up the European market easily, and will continue to strive to be recognized by more partners.
Building a factory in France is an important step, foreign media: the European market has abruptly changed.
On the one hand, Huawei, as the world's leading communications equipment manufacturer, will introduce advanced manufacturing technology and management experience in the construction and operation of its factories. This will help to improve the level of manufacturing technology in France and promote the development of related industries.
On the other hand, Huawei's establishment of factories in Europe means its investment and commitment to the European market. It will further strengthen Huawei's position in the European market and increase cooperation opportunities with partners and customers in Europe.
Rather than paying lip service to promises how to invest in cooperation, it is better to take concrete action to show European customers that Huawei can be trusted.
