Economic Daily Jin Guanping: Independent Innovation Supports "Chinese Chip"
From the sudden pre-sale of Huawei Mate60 Pro to the long queue in offline stores, the attention of various sectors of society to this domestically produced phone has not decreased in recent days. Behind this is the expectation for "Chinese chip", the urgency to break through the blockade, and the confidence in technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
Although Huawei is currently silent on the technical details of this phone and there are many unknowns about the chips it uses, based on various sources, it is certain that "Chinese chip" is making great strides and overcoming obstacles.
Pressure is also power. In recent years, sanctions have brought practical difficulties and also provided strong impetus for innovative development. The domestic chip market continues to release demand, and industrial technology is accelerating its evolution, gradually narrowing the gap with the world's advanced level. Previously, China's chip industry had reached the world's advanced level in design, packaging and testing. In recent years, weak links such as equipment and materials have also accelerated catch-up, manufacturing processes have developed rapidly, and the pace of domestic substitution of chip equipment has accelerated.
There are no scars, where can the skin be rough and the flesh thick. This is Huawei's words of encouragement when facing chip sanctions, and it is also a true reflection of every independent innovation achievement. History and reality tell us that there is no shortcut to independent innovation, and core technologies are subject to human constraints and may face bottlenecks at any time. The chip industry is a typical technology intensive and capital intensive industry, characterized by high technological content, large capital investment, and long investment cycles. It is also the most challenging area for independent innovation. However, advanced chips are the foundation of today's important technologies, the driving force behind the development of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, and the core competitiveness of major power games. Such key core technologies cannot be obtained, bought, or obtained, but can only rely on independent innovation.
China has two major advantages in developing "Chinese chips": one is the drive of huge market demand, and the other is the ability to quickly gather resources and talents. As is well known, Huawei's R&D investment has always been a high proportion. In recent years, despite facing numerous obstacles, its research and development investment has continued to grow, and it has spared no expense in acquiring high-end talents. Huawei proposes to establish its own high-end talent pool, where any outstanding talent can enter; To create a soil for talent growth, it is like "a cup of coffee absorbing cosmic energy". Practice has proven that innovation relies on talent, and it is even more important to have the spirit of "grinding a sword for ten years" in order to achieve breakthroughs.
It may be too early to say that the light boat has passed through countless mountains. When faced with oppression, one should not be discouraged, and when achieving results, one should not be complacent. Information technology is advancing rapidly, and the chip industry is also changing rapidly. We still need to make more efforts, take technological innovation as the foundation, continue to invest in research and development, accelerate technological breakthroughs, master more core technologies and patents, and improve the independent innovation ability and competitiveness of the industry. At the same time, leveraging the advantages of industrial clusters, making good use of domestic and foreign markets, combining with new demands, driving and expanding the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to accelerate maturity, and seizing the opportunity to promote industrial upgrading.
