June 18, HuaweiHe Gang, President of Terminal Mobile Phone Product LineA message was posted: This monthOn the 21st, the world's first mobile phone brand with two 7nmSoC chips was released in Wuhan. It is speculated that this chip is very likely to be the previously rumored Kirin 8 series chip. In this device of less than 1 square centimeter, Huawei has set up 6.9 billion transistors, and it may also support 5G baseband. AccordingWorld Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) data, Huawei inPatents in the field of 5G communications have a leading position. Huawei's rapid rise has been suppressed by the United States in many ways. Last month,The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a statement saying that Huawei and its subsidiaries will be included in the regulation."List of Entities"U.S. sanctions may be more than that!

On June 20,Ministry of Foreign Affairs of ChinaSpokesman Lu Kang said at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairsamendment incidentThere was a response. Lu Kangsaid"I have taken note of the reports. The United States prides itself on the rule of law, but there will be strange moves by federal lawmakers advocating legislation to obstruct enterprises of other countries from safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law. No wonder it has caused an uproar in the United States and abroad. We know that some people in the United States will do whatever it takes to discredit and suppress enterprises in other countries, but we did not expect them to manipulate laws and rules so naked. This will damage not only the reputation and image of the United States, but also its own enterprises will suffer in the long run. I would like to reiterate that China firmly opposes the US side's abuse of state power to suppress Chinese enterprises. We urge the US side to stop its wrong practices, treat Chinese enterprises fairly, and create conditions for normal trade and cooperation between enterprises of the two countries. China will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises."

The domestic media have condemned the amendment."Double standard", Rubio's proposal will not have an impact? ReuterssaidAlthough the measure is still a few steps away from becoming law, U.S. lawmakers have successfully used it over the past few years.National Defense Authorization ActHit Huawei.I think the chances of Rubio's proposal eventually becoming law are actually slim to none.Amendments need to be voted on to become lawAnd from the U.S. Congress legislation, only less10% of proposals have a chance to get to the polls.The public opinion environment of the United States on the bill is not that the majority supports Rubio. Even if the amendment enters the voting process, it is unlikely that it will eventually become a law and be formally implemented. The amendment may be a political show for Rubio and a farce in the technological contest between China and the United States.
