Financial Times Report: Huawei Will Build Chip Factory in Shanghai and Forgo US Technology

The British Financial Times quoted a source in saying that Chinese telecommunications equipment company Huawei has planned to establish a chip manufacturing factory in Shanghai and no longer use the US technologies, in order to solve chips supply caused by the US’s export restrictions.

The report stated that the factory would be operated by Huawei’s collaborator Shanghai IC R&D Center, to ensure sufficient chips supply for core telecommunications equipment business. They expect to commence their production by the end of next year.

The factory would first produce the low-end 45-nanometre chips, and until the second half of 2021, when it would have the ability to manufacture the more advanced 28-nanometre chips for smart TVs and other internet equipment. By 2022, it would be able to produce the 20-nanometre chips for 5G network telecommunication equipment. In addition to the previous one to two years of chips inventory, Shanghai IC R&D Centre believed that the factory could support the sustainable operation of 5G business of Huawei.

Huawei Launches Internal Investigation as Fake Accounts Manipulate Its Social Media. Twitter: Conclusive Evidence may Lead to Permanent Blocking

Chinese telecoms company Huawei has been aggressively exploring overseas markets in recent years, but there have also been concerns about its rise and the manipulation of online media. The research firm Graphika found that during Belgium's reconsideration of its 5G policy, Twitter was flooded with fake accounts claiming to support Huawei. The Financial Times also found that Huawei's top executives, who had only used their Twitter accounts to issue press releases, had an unusually large number of followers. Twitter said that it had taken action against thousands of fake fans of Huawei executives' accounts, while Huawei admitted that the company had not done enough to comply with the rules of the social platform.

An international research firm Graphika released A 33-page study on Thursday saying that a new wave of manipulation on social media comes as the Belgian government revisits its 5G network policy and considers restricting "high-risk vendors" such as Huawei from building the country's 5G systems. At first, at least 14 Twitter accounts posing as telecoms experts, writers and academics shared pro-Huawei posts attacking Belgium's new policy. Graphika analyzed as fake photos and followers believed to be robots, despite their personal photos and occupations.
