Why is the United States so afraid of Huawei?

1, the US government's fear of Huawei

/kloc-In the early morning of May 7, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce officially listed Huawei in the "Entity List". Later, as a chip company owned by Huawei, He Tingbo, president of Hisilicon, said in an internal letter to employees that Huawei had made the assumption of extreme survival many years ago, and Hisilicon would launch the "spare tire" plan to fulfill the company's commitment to continuous customer service, thus ensuring the strategic safety of most products.

No company has ever made America, the so-called global hegemon, so afraid. The global ban of 5G on Huawei's communication equipment and technology has forced system and chip manufacturers such as Google, Microsoft, Intel and Qualcomm to gradually block Huawei.

As you can see, of the $70 billion spent by Huawei in 20 18, about 1 10 billion came from American companies such as Qualcomm, Intel and Micron Technology. If the United States continues to sanction Huawei, it is conceivable that the income of these enterprises will disappear directly. At present, some enterprises have begun to be affected.

2. Huawei's high quality and low price annoyed Americans?

In the remote areas of eastern Oregon, Huawei is far from the "big bad wolf" from China described by American officials, but the lifeline of 2 1 century. Joseph Flannell, CEO and general manager of East Oregon Telecom, said that the largest technology company in China produces high-quality network equipment, and the price sold to rural telecom operators is 20% to 30% lower than that of competitors. Huawei's equipment also helps more than 20 American telecommunications companies provide landline, mobile service and high-speed data to many of the poorest and most remote areas.

In fact, some telecom companies, including Flannell's company, have no federal subsidies, and they have higher costs when providing services to remote and poor areas. But Huawei can work miracles. Huawei has become a world leader in network equipment manufacturing, and it is striving to dominate the "next generation wireless technology" of 5G.

"Their (Huawei's) equipment is very, very good," said Flannell, who is also the chairman of the broadband advisory committee of Oregon State Assembly. "We haven't found similar equipment in the market." It is precisely because of its high quality and low price, as well as its leading technology and favorable price that it is difficult to find substitutes in the market. Huawei worries the US government and tries to destroy this "miracle".

3. Network security has always been a false proposition.

For Huawei, another important reason why carrier equipment has been unable to enter the United States is the so-called "security issue." From 200 1 Huawei set up a North American branch in Texas, FutureWei, to 20 12, 10 was investigated by the US Congress and forced to withdraw from the US telecom equipment market. Huawei's business experience in the United States can be described as twists and turns.

Xu Zhijun, Huawei's rotating chairman, said in an interview that preventing Huawei from entering the 5G market means less competition, which may lead consumers to pay higher phone bills, while telecom companies have to increase spending. He said that political factors may have played a more important role than actual security issues.

"Why do U.S. government authorities always regard Huawei as a commercial company? If 5G will bring network security problems, I think these remarks are politically motivated and have no factual basis at all. " Xu Zhijun said. But? In the eyes of the United States, 5G will usher in the large-scale development of the Internet of Things and realize the connection between things. This means that the 5G network is more complex and vulnerable to cyber attacks than previous generations, and they think that using China equipment will be more easily monitored by China. US officials said they were worried that China telecom equipment manufacturers might monitor these networks or disconnect them at any time.

In the face of doubts, Guo Ping, the rotating chairman of Huawei, once again told reporters at this year's earnings communication meeting, "Huawei products have no back door. Now Huawei has opened the front door and opened the source code, and relevant institutions have conducted the most stringent tests on Huawei." Guo Ping said that Huawei's current network security testing is unprecedented. He called on more peer companies to join such safety tests. "Don't be too far away from Huawei."

Think about the former Cisco company in the United States, think about Snowden, the US government. How dare you say that?

4. Scare the new layout of Huawei AI in the United States.

The full-scene smart life ecology that Huawei wants to build is an open ecology. Facing the whole ecology, Huawei HiAI artificial intelligence open platform will provide technology openness at the core, end and cloud levels, and empower global partners.

On the chip side, Huawei will create a smooth operating experience through HiAI mobile computing platform, audio-visual tools and game assistants. On the terminal side, Huawei builds fully connected services and full scene applications through intelligent hardware, HiAI platform, AR/VR and other devices, providing a series of intelligent perception and interaction capabilities; In the cloud, Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) and AppGallery are used to meet the individual needs of consumers.

At the "Huawei Full Connection Conference 20 18", Huawei released a full-stack and full-scenario AI solution, and the AI chips rose to 9 10 and 3 10. It seems that Huawei is getting closer and closer to achieving "AI Pratt & Whitney", and under this grand vision, the industrial Internet of Things will inevitably make a profit first. Huawei's IoT (Internet of Things) strategy is clear again: "Focus on the infrastructure of the Internet of Things and create an industrial ecological black land." Huawei emphasizes the infrastructure construction of the Internet of Things with "connection+cloud+intelligence" as the core, enabling the digital transformation of the industry.

AI helps enterprises to build the Internet of Things, and Huawei is not alone. Microsoft also announced that it will invest $5 billion in Internet of Things innovation in the next four years to serve customers in a broad sense of "edge computing+Internet of Things +Ai". It introduces intelligent functions into the edge and cloud to provide deeper insight, thus simplifying the Internet of Things.
