Under the severe situation of Western technology blockade, Huawei has always become a dark horse on the battlefield of science and technology with its strong independent innovation capabilities. However, Huawei has faced a series of recent challenges, the most notable of which is the theft of chip technology. Zunpai Communications, founded by former Huawei executive Zhang Kun, is suspected of stealing Huawei's technology patents and using 40 process nodes similar to Huawei's HiSilicon in the research and development of WiFi-related chips, with a 90% similarity. Huawei was highly vigilant about this and promptly reported the case to ** and investigated. The results of the investigation showed that Zunpai Communications not only stole Huawei's technology, but also used improper methods in employee recruitment. This behavior seriously infringes Huawei's intellectual property rights and poses a threat to its technical security.
In response to this problem, Huawei did not back down or react passively, but actively strengthened internal security measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the enterprise through legal means. Huawei has made significant progress in the investigation and detection of those involved in the case, successfully arresting 14 criminal suspects and seizing seven servers that store infringing chip technology. This action is sending a strong belief in upholding technological innovation and intellectual property rights to the whole society.
However, just after Huawei's chip technology was stolen, Huawei's self-developed chip road encountered a new dilemma. Foreign media broke the news that the United States is targeting Huawei, and one of the reasons is that the United States has been pressuring ASML to prohibit it from supplying China's oldest DUV lithography machine. Although ASML has completed the delivery of orders until 2023, its shipments are uncertain for new orders in 2024. While opposing the U.S. restriction of DUV lithography machines to China, ASML is also facing the dilemma of not being able to fully guarantee the independent and controllable sales. In fact, ASML has long announced that it has conquered 2nm lithography machine technology, and plans to officially ship it in 2024. However, since the four major shareholders in ASML's shareholding structure are U.S. capital, the U.S. requires ASML to give the first batch of 6 2nm lithography machines** to Intel to suppress TSMC and help Intel achieve overtaking in advanced processes. This has further exacerbated the technology blockade faced by Huawei.
At present, Huawei's predicament in the technology field not only comes from the continuous counterattack of the Western technology blockade, but also needs to be vigilant against abnormal competition in the internal industrial chain. Overall, although the theft of Huawei's chip technology has caused certain losses, Huawei still has huge R&D strength and innovation capabilities, and is able to independently develop competitive chip products. However, Huawei's challenges are not only technical difficulties, but also pose a severe challenge to the stability and security of its industrial chain. The theft of Huawei's chip technology has triggered a scrutiny of all links in the industry chain to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again, and to strengthen internal security measures to maintain the security of core technologies.
In the global competition for semiconductor technology, Huawei's challenges also reflect the delicate relationship between the global semiconductor industry chain. The United States is trying to maintain its dominant position in the global semiconductor industry by suppressing China's development in the semiconductor field, especially breakthroughs in manufacturing equipment and advanced processes. As an important part of China's semiconductor industry chain, the success of Huawei's independent research and development of chips will also affect the competitive landscape of the entire industry. Huawei's Kirin 9000s chip is an important attempt to catch up and surpass. However, the United States not only blocked the technology chain, but also tried to further limit Huawei's R&D capabilities by controlling key technologies such as lithography machines.
In the face of technological blockade and external pressure, Huawei undoubtedly needs the support and cooperation of many parties at home and abroad. In China, China and relevant departments should actively provide policy support and assistance to Huawei to provide stronger support and promote technological innovation and industrial development. Huawei and other Chinese technology companies should also strengthen cooperation to jointly develop next-generation chips and technologies to enhance the competitiveness of the industry. In addition, cooperation with international partners is crucial to create a joint force to tackle technological blockades through open collaboration, sharing innovations, and creating a synergy.
At the same time, Huawei also needs to strengthen its own security measures internally, especially in the areas of personnel recruitment and intellectual property protection, and strengthen the supervision and education of internal employees to ensure that similar leaks do not occur again. In addition, we will increase investment in independent R&D and innovation, improve our own technical strength and competitiveness, and reduce our dependence on external technology.
Overall, although Huawei is facing severe technological blockades and challenges from the external environment, as an enterprise with strong innovation capabilities and technical strength, Huawei has the ability to cope with and overcome these difficulties. By strengthening internal security measures and actively seeking support and cooperation at home and abroad, Huawei can protect its technological innovation and intellectual property, continue to win on the technological battlefield, and make greater contributions to the rise of China's technology.
