The Chinese government is preparing to set up a new $40 billion fund to strengthen the development of the chip industry. Huawei unexpectedly unveiled its latest Mate 60 Pro smartphone during a visit to China by U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo last week. According to the dismantling results of TechInsights, a research organization headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, this Mate 60 Pro smartphone is equipped with a Kirin 9000S processor, and is manufactured by SMIC, China’s largest chip foundry, using advanced 7-nanometer technology. .

The teardown studies and early user claims that the phone is powerful show that China is still making some progress in developing high-end chips even as Washington has stepped up sanctions in recent years to cut off China’s access to advanced chip tools .

TechInsights analyst Dan Hutcheson pointed out that this incident “shows that China’s semiconductor industry can make technological progress without extreme ultraviolet light exposure machine (EUV) tools. The difficulty of this achievement also shows that China’s chip technology Ability Resilience”.

The EUV exposure machine can be used to fabricate 7nm wafers or more advanced wafers. “At the same time, this presents a major geopolitical challenge for countries seeking to restrict access to key manufacturing technologies. The result is likely to be stricter restrictions than are currently in place.”

Analysts at Jefferies said the TechInsights findings might lead to an investigation by the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), fueling more debate in the U.S. regarding the effects of sanctions and prompting congressional action on an ongoing , the inclusion of tougher technology sanctions in the competition bill once morest China.

“Overall, the U.S.-China technology war is likely to escalate,” analysts said.
