Huawei founder told Xi China's concerns about lack of chips have eased, state media says
Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei has reassured Chinese President Xi Jinping that concerns over a lack of homegrown chips or operating systems have eased, according to a report by the People's Daily. This move comes as Huawei continues to navigate the challenges posed by US sanctions and its efforts to build a self-sufficient supply chain. The outcome of this shift in sentiment could have significant implications for China's technological ambitions.
- The ease with which Ren Zhengfei has managed to alleviate China's concerns about domestic chip production may signal a growing comfort among Chinese leaders with Huawei's ability to navigate complex regulatory environments.
