Yu Chengdong said that in the past ten years, Huawei’s exploration in the field of chips has changed from seriously backward, relatively backward, leading, to being blocked. “We have invested huge research and development, but unfortunately, in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, Huawei did not participate. We only do chip design, no chip manufacturing. Many of our very powerful chips cannot be manufactured. We said that to solve these problems, we need technology. Innovation, technology, technology, technology.”

Regarding the annual sales of mobile phones, Yu Chengdong said that due to the second round of US sanctions, Huawei’s chip reserves are insufficient.
