3. Discusses 5G topics and leaks anger
Earlier media reports said that the British Prime Minister has conditionally allowed Huawei to participate in 5G network projects. The leak of this news caused shocks in British political circles. According to related reports, the British National Security Council meeting held a decision on Thursday to allow Huawei to participate in the construction of "non-core" facilities for 5G networks, although the decision was also opposed by some ministers who were considered possible. The future will replace the candidate for Prime Minister’s status.
Since the relevant discussions of the National Security Council are only attended by cabinet ministers and high-level officials, these officials must sign the official secrecy decree before attending the meeting to ensure that the content of the talks is not leaked, otherwise, they will face judicial charges. But The Telegraph reported on Thursday night that Prime Minister allowed Huawei to participate in the construction of the "non-core" part of the UK 5G network.
Prime Minister refused to comment on the content of the National Security Council meeting on Thursday. Her spokesperson said earlier that the British government will make a formal decision on Huawei in June.
Italy gives Huawei a "reassuring"?
At the same time, Italy, which has joined China's "Belt and Road" initiative, has shown more "goodwill" to Huawei. The country's prime minister said that he had promised Huawei that it would not discriminate against Huawei in the construction of the 5G telecommunications network in Italy. He made the above statement during his visit to China.
According to Reuters, the Italian Prime Minister said that he has assured Huawei that there will be no discrimination when launching a 5G telecommunications network in Italy. Italian television station Sky Italia broadcasted Conte’s speech.
4. R & D spending super Apple! Huawei invested a total of 15.3 billion US dollars last year
According to micro-network news, 5G has now become a strategic highland between China and the United States. If Huawei continues to rise, then the most likely to dominate the world economy will be China, not the United States. Since 2018, the United States has been putting pressure on other countries to ban its use of Huawei's 5G equipment. Huawei is facing increasing political pressure. However, on the road of 5G development, Huawei has not fallen behind, which may be the reason why the United States is so eager to block Huawei.
Huawei's R&D investment is "not soft"
According to foreign media reports, Huawei's investment in the development of next-generation wireless technology is growing at a rate that few companies around the world can match. According to reports, the world's largest network equipment manufacturer's research and development spending last year was as high as 15.3 billion US dollars, more than doubled five years ago. This expanding spending is designed to strengthen Huawei's leading position in the fifth generation of wireless networks.
It can be said that Huawei's investment in research and development has always been "not soft."
According to previous data, in 2017, Huawei invested only 89.1 billion yuan (about 13.24 billion US dollars) in research and development. Looking at China's technology Internet companies can have such a strong enterprise, only Huawei.
Huawei is actively entering the business areas of mobile, cloud services and semiconductors. According to Bloomberg data, in terms of currency, Huawei's R&D spending in 2018 lags behind Amazon, Google's parent company Alphabet and Samsung Electronics. In this ranking, Amazon ranked first with $28.8 billion, Google's parent company Alphabet ranked second with $21.4 billion, Samsung Electronics ranked third with $18.7 billion, and Huawei jumped to fourth with $15.3 billion. Microsoft, Apple, and Intel were $14.7 billion, $14.2 billion and $13.5 billion, respectively, ranking fifth, seventh and eighth.
