Ren Zhengfei’s comments underscore Huawei’s commitment to achieving chip self-sufficiency, with compound semiconductors playing a key role
In a front-page interview published on Tuesday by the People’s Daily, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party, the 80-year-old Ren expressed confidence that there was no need to worry about China’s access to advanced chips, asserting that the nation could achieve computing capabilities comparable to the best in the world, even though its individual semiconductors still lagged “one generation” behind those from the US.
His remarks came amid widespread speculation on whether China has successfully defied US restrictions by secretly developing a self-sufficient semiconductor supply chain, even though it lacks access to advanced chip manufacturing tools like the lithography systems produced by Dutch company ASML.
