Niaga AWANI: Huawei's Advanced Chip Breakthrough May Attract Closer US Scrutiny

Huawei's recent breakthrough in advanced chip development highlights China's determination to combat U.S. sanctions, but experts suggest these efforts could be costly and lead to tighter U.S. restrictions. The unveiling of the Mate 60 Pro smartphone, powered by Huawei's Kirin 9000s chip and produced using 7nm technology by China's SMIC, signifies China's progress in high-end chip manufacturing despite U.S. sanctions. This achievement raises questions about the effectiveness of existing sanctions and may prompt further tech-related restrictions in a pending U.S. competition bill against China.
