The United States will allow domestic companies to cooperate with Huawei to develop 5G network standards. The new regulations of the us department of commerce have made provisions for this. It is said that this new regulation is not to relax the sanctions against this China company, but to maintain the competitiveness of American manufacturers.
Not only businessmen, but also some American politicians, including anti-China hawks Kyle Lu Biao and Tom Cotton, are worried that the blacklisting of Huawei by the US Department of Commerce may have a negative impact on American companies. They sent letters to the Ministry of Trade, the State Council and the Pentagon, in which they emphasized the need to enact relevant laws to ensure that the United States can participate in the formulation of global standards for 5G. They also reminded the Ministry of Commerce that sanctions against China companies should not prevent the United States from taking the lead in setting international technical standards. Since Huawei was blacklisted by the United States last year, American companies began to refuse to cooperate with Huawei to avoid secondary sanctions. As we all know, the strict regulations of the US Department of Commerce are aimed at restricting the transfer of any American technology and other intellectual property rights to China. However, the formulation of international standards requires the disclosure of technical information, so the cooperation between Chinese and American companies in standard formulation has actually been suspended.
As a result, the victims were not China people, but American companies. China has a strong position in the international organization for standardization. In less than 10 years, the number of China representatives in the secretariat of ISO Technical Committee of the International Organization for Standardization has increased by 73%. At present, there are 1 10 China companies with voting rights participating in the mobile phone specification 3GPP. This is more than twice the number of voting members in the United States. China heads four specialized agencies of the United Nations: FAO, ICAO, ITU and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. You know, no country is responsible for more than one specialized organization of the United Nations.
Therefore, the termination of cooperation with China will only lead to the exclusion of the United States from the process of formulating world standards, including the process of formulating the rules of the 5G network. At present, China holds about 35% of all 5G patents. American companies only hold 13% of the patents. Xu Haohao, an associate professor at the School of Computer Science and Technology of Soochow University, stressed in an interview with the satellite news agency that the United States allowed domestic companies to cooperate with Huawei in China to formulate standards, which meant that the fifth generation of world telecom could not be established without China's participation. Expert Xu Haohao said: "At present, Huawei has a very high proportion of 5G patents and its own core patents. Basically, the current 5G standard has been established. Unless the United States wants to start a new stove and establish a new 5G standard. However, this workload is huge and obviously an impossible task. " Of course, other standards are sometimes adopted in the United States, including in the field of mobile communication. For example, Europe adopts GSM 900/ 1800, and the United States adopts GSM 850/ 1900. In addition, American mobile operators have been actively formulating CDMA standards for a long time, but they were almost immediately replaced by GSM in Europe. However, the 5G network should not only ensure the normal operation of mobile communication, but also bring great leap to the development of Internet of Things, augmented reality, driverless cars, artificial intelligence and other related industries. Therefore, unified standards are the key to the successful development of global digitalization.
China, however, is willing to carry out international cooperation even in areas where it has strength. For example, although China's technology giants Huawei and ZTE can provide competitive solutions in this field, China Unicom has provided Nokia with the opportunity to build about 65,438+00% 5G root networks, and its equipment has been used in the development of global 5G networks. For another example, Huawei has signed more than 90 commercial contracts with other countries to supply 5G equipment. Xu Xianhao believes that the process of establishing the fifth generation network is truly global, and no country can successfully complete this task. Expert Xu Hao explained: "I think the most critical issue is international cooperation. At present, it is impossible for any country or company to complete all the 5G related things alone. The 5G network construction project is huge, in which not only Huawei plays an important role, but also cutting-edge companies such as ZTE, Samsung, Nokia and Ericsson have many core patents, which are also an indispensable part. Therefore, international cooperation is crucial. No company can seize all markets, and the construction of 5G networks cannot be separated from any company. " It seems that the United States is finally beginning to realize this. The U.S. Department of Commerce explained that those companies that could enjoy Huawei's technology and other intellectual property rights without permission before blacklisting Huawei can now cooperate with their China partners without obstacles, but only in the formulation of international standards. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United States intends to maintain its leading position in global technology in the next generation network. However, at least for now, Washington is late. China plans to build 600,000 5G base stations by the end of 2020. According to the prediction of Bernstein Research Company, the United States can build up to 10000 such base stations at the same time.
