Huawei is not a remarkable Chinese company

Huawei is not a remarkable Chinese company. It's a typical Chinese company run by hard working engineers. That's the problem for US, smart kids want to make fast money. 華為並不是一家了不起的中國公司。 這是一家典型的由勤奮的工程師經營的中國公司。這就是美國的問題，聰明的孩子祇想賺快錢.

Huawei shocked the tech industry last year when they produced a 7-nanometer chip for their Mate 60 smart phone. What's more, several key components of the Mate 60 was produced by other Chinese suppliers.

The phone itself was thought to be impossible to produce, as Huawei was under severe sanctions and import restrictions. But beginning far before the Trump Administration, Huawei's CEO Ren Zhengfei had his engineers designing semiconductor chips. And when sanctions were announced, the company devoted ten thousand engineers to figure out how to build everything else for the device.

The semiconductor sanctions have clearly not succeeded. What's also clear from other news is that the Chinese military has technologies that far exceed what Huawei is producing for their recreational and commercial customers. The notion that sanctions against Huawei would slow tech advances for military-grade equipment have similarly failed.

Huawei's story seems remarkable, but is not. Huawei is just one of hundreds of thousands of China's companies with the same core strategy: identify all possible vulnerabilities in their supply chains, from any source; then, devote all available resources to overcome them. It is a simple strategy, executed countless times, across dozens of industries by tens of millions of the world's top engineers and scientists.

去年，華為為 Mate 60 智慧型手機生產 7 奈米晶片，震驚了科技業。 更重要的是，Mate 60的幾個關鍵零件是由其他中國供應商生產的。

由於華為受到嚴厲的製裁和進口限制，這款手機本身被認為不可能生產。 但早在川普政府上台之前，華為執行長任正非就讓他的工程師設計半導體晶片。 當制裁宣布後，該公司投入了一萬名工程師來研究如何為該設備建造其他一切。

半導體制裁顯然沒有成功。 從其他新聞中也可以清楚看出，中國軍方擁有的技術遠遠超過華為為其娛樂和商業客戶所生產的技術。 認為對華為的製裁將減緩軍用級設備技術進步的觀點同樣失敗了。

華為的故事看似非凡，但其實不然。 華為只是數十萬家擁有相同核心策略的中國公司之一：從任何來源識別其供應鏈中所有可能的漏洞； 然後，投入所有可用的資源來克服它們。 這是一個簡單的策略，由數千萬世界頂尖工程師和科學家在數十個行業執行了無數次。
