Tsinghua professor Huawei stopped independent research and development of chips, export restrictions

"Tsinghua professor Huawei stopped independent research and development of chips, export restrictions or lifted! "!

Huawei has always been China's most popular product, and few people have dared to speak out against it, but a professor at Tsinghua University has dared to openly criticize Huawei in an international forum.

Dong Yang, a professor at Tsinghua University and an influential figure in China's automotive industry, said at the automotive forum that Huawei should not independently develop chips, cut off cooperation, and if Huawei is not patriotic, it cannot independently develop chips.

He also said that the United States is willing to share it with us if we do not study.

As soon as this statement came out, many people blamed the teacher, demanded his resignation, and others suggested that the teacher's identity should be investigated in-depth.

Whenever I talk about Chinese fries, I feel very uncomfortable and powerless.

Looking at everything from design to chip manufacturing, from EDA to semiconductor equipment and semiconductor materials, China can no longer find a decent rival other than Huawei.

Huawei's chip design company, HESI, ranks among the top four in the world, behind Broadcom, Qualcomm and NVIDIA, with the Kirin 9000 chip beating Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 chip and on par with Apple's Bionic chip.

But you have to realize that Huawei's core business is not just chips, its core business is still communications.

From the perspective of other chip manufacturers, SMIC ranks fifth in the domestic chip industry, followed by TSMC, then Samsung, and finally GF.

However, SMIC does not have the strength to compete with TSMC: this cannot be blamed solely on SMIC, as the company does not have the EUV lithography equipment to overcome this obstacle.

Empyrean is a powerhouse in the EDA space, but it still lags far behind companies such as Kadant Electronics, Synopsys, and Siemens. Any company would choose these three big companies to produce chips below 7 nanometers.

In the field of semiconductor components, Shanghai Microelectronics represents a 600 lithography machine with a resolution of 600 nanometers to 90 nanometers, while ASML in the Netherlands produces an EUV lithography machine with a resolution of 8 nanometers.

How many generations have it taken to go from 90 nm to 8 nm? How many years did it take? I can't do it in 10 years.

There are many types of semiconductor materials. Japan has 19 major raw materials, 14 of which account for more than 50% of the market share, and has an absolute monopoly in extreme ultraviolet photoresists.

The gap is too big.

However, Professor Dong Yang of Tsinghua University has a different view, he does not approve of all chips and systems being produced by ourselves, on the contrary, he believes that the United States will definitely share with us what we cannot do on our own.

Professor Dong Yang is also the secretary general of the China Association of China (CAAM), and his words are also very weighty, especially when it comes to the development direction of China's first industry, Professor Dong Yang has always insisted on using the market to exchange cutting-edge technologies.

He spoke like Wennink!

Winnick said angrily"China is destroying the entire chip industry in the world by developing its own lithography technology.

But what are the facts? Our EUV lithography technology and A100 chips have received a sales ban from NVIDIA.

And this is not even about high tech, because even the A100, which is classified as a second category, cannot be exported.

This is the grand plan of the United States, which wants to build a complete industrial chain in the world, roughly like this:

First of all, the United States is the creator of the world economy, can develop and print better products, and can do whatever it wants.

Industrialized countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and South Korea, as well as the United States, have highly qualified labor forces active in high value-added manufacturing.

Tier 3: Asia, Africa, and Latin America, centered on the commercialization of minerals, agricultural production, clothing, etc.

If it were the plans of the Americans, we would probably be in the third echelon, ** some resources, grow some agricultural products, make some clothes, work hard, but not make much money.

Ren Zhengfei recognized this when he introduced his research direction, and he said something very touching:"I didn't start Huawei to make money, I didn't start Huawei to make a fortune, I founded Huawei to contribute to the country and the nation"。The scars of the Chinese people are even deeper. Some time ago, we ushered in the opportunity for development. Hard-working Chinese get up early and are greedy for darkness, and their monthly salary is only about 100 yuan, while European and American companies make a lot of money! Why is that? Because we don't have the necessary technology, we become the world's factories and cheap labor.

We grassroots workers all know that our wages are the lowest from morning to night, why? If you don't ask yourself to take a cut, who can you ask for?

How to change the status quo? Only with independent research and development capabilities can we have the right to speak. That's what Ren Zhengfei said, and that's what he did.

Take Huawei as an example, through hundreds of billions of yuan in R&D investment every year (I don't know how much), Huawei has become a technology powerhouse.

Huawei is already a world leader in 5G, and domestic chip developers are making progress in multiple industries such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and intelligent driving.

In the field of communications, it beats Cisco; In the 5G space, it beats Qualcomm; In the field of artificial intelligence, it became Nvidia's main competitor. Even Nvidia's founder, Jensen Huang, is full of praise for Huawei.

Taking 2022 as an example, Huawei will pay an annual dividend of 7708.5 billion, calculated based on the stock ownership plan for 142315 employees, Huawei will benefit 140,000 people this time, with an average dividend of 540,000 yuan per person.

What does $540,000 mean? Many part-time workers may have to work for 10 years to earn that much money.

Huawei's workers were honored and got what they wanted, which was the advantage of having basic technology. As far as the country as a whole is concerned, Huawei has transformed from a labor-intensive economy to a technology-innovative economy.

The technological innovation economic system is considered to be the most promising to rise at the top of the industrial chain, Apple Inc. is like this, it occupies the largest share of iPhones, harvesting 85% of the world's profits, which is not only an astonishing number, but also reflects Apple's dominance in the mobile device market.

What about Foxconn's screws? It's a world of difference.

As a result, Huawei has usurped its underlying technology and replaced the interests of American companies. They believe that Huawei is not only carrying out technological innovation, but also trying to subvert the entire global industrial chain.

As a result, the U.S. Department of Commerce listed Huawei as:"Publicly traded companies", imposing all-round sanctions on Huawei.

A professor at Tsinghua University even said that if Huawei does not produce its own chips, the United States will share them with us.

Obviously, blaming Huawei is actually trying to make us abandon research on chips and systems. In this case, we had to import second-rate materials from the United States, produce 10,000 t-shirts to buy a chip, and it was a real torture for us.

Thankfully, in the face of changes in the global economic situation and technological advancements, many companies have not followed Huawei's advice and have gone their own way, and Huawei is no longer alone.

In the future, China's science and technology will continue to develop, China's influence on the international stage will continue to increase, and people's lives will undergo tremendous changes. Don't be afraid of the technological blockade of us by some foreign countries. We must strive to do a good job in our scientific research work and dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky.
