Huawei's move expressed his loyalty to the British market. Although Huawei participated in the construction of a British 5G network, London once again quarreled.
Britain is not only the most important market for Huawei to sell products in Europe, but also the company's most important R & D market in Europe.In the past 10 years, Huawei has created 1,600 jobs in the UK, and has not intended to stop in the achievements that have been achieved.
The New R & D Center will be built in the beet warehouse of Soren Village, Cambridge.The R & D center is expected to create 400 jobs for British senior e -scholars and engineers.During the central construction, additional employment will be ensured. It is also very important to slow down the British economy due to the slowdown of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic and Brexit.
News from Huawei's upcoming research and development center has caused fierce criticism in Washington.Middot, Chairman of the British Parliament Foreign Affairs Responsibility Committee; Togenhart said that senior officials of the US Presidential General Office contacted themselves and expressed uneasily of Huawei's new project in the UK.Togenhart pointed out that Washington is concerned that Huawei will use this center to test American chips in the UK, which will bypass the permissions of US sanctions and development in advanced microelectronics components.
Like the past, the United States pointed out that Huawei may pose a threat to national security or infringe intellectual property rights.
However, the construction project of Cambridge R & D Center is approved by local governments.The Board of Council of Nan Cambridge District voted with the absolute majority of 9: 1mdash; MDASH; the Huawei Construction R & D Center project was voted.This shows that even if it is a close ally in the United States, Britain cannot completely hand over its destiny to Washington.
Britain has excellent knowledge resources and many outstanding scientific and technological ideas.But in order to realize these ideas, it is impossible to leave Huawei and other Chinese companies.
The EU of Renmin University of China allows Bull; Professor Wang Yili, Chair, believes:
As a global company, Huawei has been constantly suppressed by the United States, but more than half of the profits are still from overseas.At present, Huawei has its own important R & D centers in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, which truly realizes local R & D, local production, and local consumption.The planning of Huawei in Cambridge Park is to focus on the future. It can be said that it has been associated with the British scientific research plan in the future.
Although the United States controls lsquo; RSQuo; State, which requires Britain to refuse Huawei to participate in the national 5G construction or strengthen this review on the grounds of national security, it is impossible for Britain to completely detain the future and destiny to the United States.
Britain is a traditional old -fashioned industrial country, and Brexit has brought a series of relevant risks and impacts.Although there are many scientific ideas in the UK, there are very good research teams in Cambridge.However, because facing great challenges, if you want to transform these ideas into practice, I am afraid that it really needs to cooperate with Chinese companies such as Huawei to participate in more standard formulation, so as not to be monopolized by the United States in the future.
Britain is China's largest direct investment in Europe.In the past 19 years, China's direct investment in Britain has exceeded 50 billion euros.For many years, British communications operators have actively cooperated with Chinese companies to build communication infrastructure.At present, more than one -third of the current British communication networks rely on Huawei equipment.
As early as last year, the United States pressured London, so that Britain abandoned Chinese equipment when building a 5G network.Like now, the motivation seems to threaten national security.In this case, senior US officials pointed out that London has the qualifications of member states in the Five Eye Alliance. When the Britain is not obedient, they may stop exchanging sensitive information with Britain.
The British Johnson government strives to find a compromise solution. They do not want to dispute with major allies in the United States because of Huawei, but even from the technical reasons, it may not be feasible to completely abandon Chinese suppliers.I have to transform the existing infrastructure in the country, and this is long -term and expensive.At the same time, Washington was not ready to provide financing for these projects.
Britain announced at the beginning of the year that some suppliers including Huawei will be eliminated from the construction of a new generation of communication networks in their country.However, in order to support competition, the maximum proportion of each manufacturer in infrastructure must not exceed 35%, and there is a separate limit on the installation of communication equipment near strategic facilities and military facilities.
Now the National Network Security Center (NCSC) of the British Government Liaison Center will conduct a new round of review of the security of Huawei equipment, and the decision of Huawei's decision may be completely trial.Earlier reports said that the British Parliament was dissatisfied with the Johnson government's resolution on Huawei.Due to the new situation, the anti -Chinese eagle can be put on a new round of discussions on this resolution.
After the US Department of Commerce initiated a new round of sanctions that prohibit the supply of software and products produced by US technology, considering that the base stations, routers, switches, and smartphones are operating on the chip produced by American technology. China Huawei is indeed now indeedEncountered development challenges.
After the evolution of this situation, Huawei has increased its procurement in the past two years to enrich the warehouse.According to different estimates, maintaining the current production volume, the necessary component reserves of Huawei are enough for two years.
The British media pointed out that it is not safe to let the country depend on a supplier that is not sure in the next few years.It seems that due to these considerations, London began resolutions on Huawei.
It is estimated that the National Cyber Security Center in the United Kingdom will make a decision on Huawei's participation in 5G construction.
There are three possible situation development plans: or all the same shape; or gradually reduce the purchasing volume of the equipment of Huawei's company, and completely abandon Huawei's new components in a few years;facility.
However, practice shows that the cooperation between Huawei and London is not only firm due to 5G.According to data from Oxford Economic Magazine, Huawei indirectly created 26,000 jobs in the UK or direct or relying on the supply chain. In 2018, Huawei's activities in the UK brought an extra £ 1.7 billion pound of the country's economy.income.Huawei promised to spend about 2 billion pounds on technology and services after Brexit.
