Chinese telecommunications and mobile phone manufacturers have appeared at the World Mobile Communications Conference in Barcelona. Among them, Huawei's foldable 5G mobile phone has caused a sensation. Its appearance and performance, as well as its $2600 pricing, have made the Western media exclaim, deepening the impression that Huawei has become the leader of 5G communication technology in the world.
Other major mobile phone manufacturers in China also showed their 5G mobile phones at the conference. It seems to be an indisputable fact that China's 5G technology has come to the forefront of this field as a whole.
After being severely suppressed by the United States, Huawei seems to have changed its low-key attitude and emphasized its irreplaceability to the world, especially to its allies. Its famous new slogan is that without Huawei 5G is like without Manchester United in the Premier League.
Western public opinion, including American public opinion, began to make some obvious or subtle changes against Huawei. The British and German governments have publicly stated that the risks of using Huawei's equipment can be controlled, while media and experts have emphasized that Huawei's 5G technology is one to two years ahead of Western companies. President Trump recently tweeted that the United States needs to compete rather than blockade technology to gain the leading position in mobile communications, especially with the possibility that the United States may relax its allies and boycott Huawei.
We believe that the trend of Huawei and other Chinese companies facing the 5G era will remain complex, and some Western media predict that the United States will lead the way.“Anti-Huawei Alliance”Huawei is falling apart. It is suggested that Huawei should not take it too seriously. The elites of the United States and some Western countries are far from forming the mentality of accepting a Chinese company to lead the world in communications. All kinds of unfair competition against China's telecommunications giants will change patterns and recur in the future, which will be high probability.
Huawei and others need to be aware that although they can achieve specific breakthroughs leading the world, the areas of these breakthroughs are still very narrow. Some of the elements supporting these breakthroughs are still constrained by the United States and the West, so these breakthroughs still have certain vulnerabilities. The United States and the West still hold most of the conditions for high-tech incubation, and the comprehensive ability of the United States to compete in cutting-edge technologies will continue to be the strongest in the world for the foreseeable future.
Over the past few months, Huawei has shown that the most effective leverage for breaking through the blockade and restrictions imposed by the United States is its genuine effort to technologically lead its Western counterparts by a large margin. The United States does have the ability to press its allies to cooperate with its policy towards Huawei, and Huawei's leading technology does have an irresistible attraction to European countries. This containment and attractive game situation will largely determine how far Huawei can go in the western market.
Of course, the Chinese government needs to make efforts for Huawei to be treated fairly. To see that such a fair treatment involves China's major interests, it is worthwhile for us to use all kinds of resources for this purpose. The argument that Huawei is a private enterprise and the Chinese government has no reason to shelter it is naive and shallow, which is incompatible with the common practice of protecting domestic enterprises of various countries.
China's companies in the field of communications technology have done a great job, but we need to be clear that the rise of China's information industry is thin, and there must be more in other areas.“HUAWEI”。 China's high-tech enterprises have only come into being“Forest”Only in order to survive vigorously, a single tree always has to experience“Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind”Encounter.
Barcelona Mobile World Congress should promote the Chinese experience, not complacency. China's development conditions in various fields should not be too bad. Why did a number of competitive mobile communication products emerge, and why did Huawei emerge? What has given birth to China's competitiveness and growth of its leaders in this field, and how can we replicate those conditions to other areas of China?
Analyzing these questions thoroughly and solving them properly is probably a tough battle to deepen China's reform and opening up in an all-round way.
