If you can't compete with you, I will sanction you. This is the United States' consistent strategy for dealing with competitors that surpass itself.
Huawei is a private enterprise in China and a local high-tech enterprise in China.
Huawei’s 5G leads the world, breaking the U.S.’s dominance in the communications field for many years. Some people say that Huawei’s 5G is the first time since 1840 that China has taken the lead in the high-tech field. This evaluation is very high, but it is not. Not too much, this is indeed something we should be proud of.
Secondly, semiconductors have always been a flaw in our country. In particular, Chinese high-tech companies represented by Lenovo have always pursued the strategy of renting rather than renting while renting, so that they can develop rapidly in the short term and in the long term. If you don’t master the core technology, you will easily get choked. Huawei's Kirin chip is the first chip company in China that can produce it. It has entered the ranks of high-end chips. Huawei has also released the world's first 5G chip, leading the mobile phone chip giant Qualcomm by a full year.
Seeing Huawei’s leadership in 5G communications and chips, the United States has suppressed Huawei nationwide and revised its rules. Companies using American technology must provide services to Huawei through authorization from the U.S. Department of Commerce. Although Huawei can develop chips, the chip foundry needs to be completed by TSMC. TSMC's core chip manufacturing process technology comes from the United States. Huawei's chip supply chain has been interrupted and it cannot continue to produce chips. In terms of 5G, US allies are prohibited from using Huawei 5G equipment, even though Huawei's 5G equipment is the world's leader.
Huawei chips and 5G have been hit hard, which can almost be described as horrific.
Recently, the U.S. Department of Commerce added 77 domestic companies to the entity list, and DJI, the leader in drones, is on the list.
What does this restriction mean for DJI?
To answer this question, let’s first take a look at the core components of a drone.
1. Core technology aspects
UAVs can be roughly divided into six parts: fuselage structural parts, power system, flight control system, camera system, image transmission system, and remote control reception system.
Among them, the most core ones are the flight control system, camera system and image transmission system. The flight control system includes the flight control system (software algorithm), main control chip and sensor; the camera system includes the stabilized gimbal and camera; the image transmission system is the wireless communication system, and the remote control receiving system includes the remote controller and receiver
DJI has mastered the core technologies of flight control system, camera system, and image transmission system, and has widened the gap with other drone companies.
2. Market share
According to statistics, DJI has a 75% share of the global drone market, and an 85% share in North America, absolutely number one in the world. , there is no opponent, so some people say that "there are only two kinds of drones in the world, one is called DJI, and the other is called other." It can be seen that DJI has absolute strength in drones.
3. Patented technology
According to statistics, DJI has more than 4,000 patents on drones, including more than 900 public patents, 3,206 national patents, and more than 70 U.S. patents. A technical barrier to unmanned access has been formed. Therefore, DJI is not sanctioned. On the contrary, companies that want to make drones must obtain patent licenses from DJI and regularly pay high patent fees.
In the face of the United States’ attempted sanctions, DJI responded strongly: Every part of our products, including the underlying structure, is produced by itself.
Only by mastering the core technology can you say such powerful words.
There are only two types of drones in the world, one is called DJI and the other is called others.
DJI has set a good example for our national enterprises.
