SHENZHEN's Huawei Technologies expects to restart making cutting-edge mobile chips as early as this year, even as the US and its allies restrict China's access to tools needed to make semiconductors, reports Tokyo's Nikkei Asia.
Huawei, a onetime smartphone powerhouse, is working with top Chinese chipmaker Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co (SMIC) to put its in-house designed 5G mobile chipset into mass production in the coming months, said two people with knowledge of the matter.
Huawei has been unable to make cutting-edge mobile chips since Washington cut off the company's access to key American technology and vital global suppliers in 2020. SMIC has likewise been on a US trade blacklist since late 2020 over alleged ties to the Chinese military, which it denies.
If Huawei succeeds in getting its mobile chips back into production, it would mark a major win for China. Beijing has spent years and millions of dollars attempting to develop a complete domestic chip industry to counter Washington's clampdown .
In a further blow to China's chip ambitions, Japan and the Netherlands recently joined the US in introducing export restrictions on advanced semiconductor equipment.
