Huawei is obviously taunting the US with the Mate 60. They want further sanctions at this point as it gives them exclusivity in the very large domestic market (and it appears other markets as well).
The large Chinese purchase of DUV machines is a stop gap until local alternatives are ready. Likely fairly soon.
Otherwise Huawei and friends would bide for more time and focus on non-visible but critical products and not a mass produced phone.
- The_Colonel 3y agoIsn't it more like "see, sanctions don't work, so... you can just as well lift them"?
- throwaway4good 3y agoI don’t think Huawei has any illusions on sanctions being lifted. Other Chinese companies may have. I think Tencent and ByteDance are quite shocked that they now are banned from buying GPUs at Nvdia and are forced to buy them at Huawei.
- jpgvm 3y agoNot at this point. The Chinese don't seem that bothered by them, it enhances their national security posture to have all such chips developed and fabricated locally. They now seem to value that over the near term economic consequences of being a few generations behind for a little bit. Fact of the matter is China has access to everything it needs to become ridiculously good at chip fabs. Money, talent pool and more critically motivation/government support.
- Moldoteck 3y agoUsually sanctions like these are not lifted in a matter of years, rather decades. Same will apply to Russia, we gave enough examples
