| Huawei announces its position on the US chip freeze plan |
Huawei's manager said today that the US plan to restrict access of "Chinese" telecom equipment suppliers to chips worldwide is "unfortunate."
Last month, Reuters reported that senior Trump administration officials agreed to new measures to force foreign chip makers to use American equipment to obtain pre-shipment permits from the blacklisted Chinese company. Americans.
The source said: If the plan is approved, it may affect Huawei and the Taiwanese chip maker TSMC, one of the largest companies that supply the chips, as well as damage to US companies such as KLA, Lam Research and Applied Materials to supply the chip manufacturing to other companies . hardware.
Paul Scanlan, chief technology officer at Huawei's network business unit, regretted this in an online seminar, but at the same time he seemed to rule out that these measures could harm society in the long run.
"In fact, in terms of the US government's cut in chip exports to Huawei and other similar components and components, it is unfortunate that the world has to go down this path," Scanlan said. He added: "But we are studying and $ 20 billion has been spent on development, which could be the reason for earning a lot of money."
It is worth noting that last month Huawei recorded the lowest annual profit growth in 2019 in three years and expects the Chinese government to take revenge on the new US trade restrictions.
