China opposes politicizing trade and technology issues and overstretching and abusing the concept of national security, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning commented on the reported U.S. probe into an advanced chip in Huawei’s latest smartphone. “I want to stress that sanctions and curbs will not stop China’s development. They will only strengthen China’s resolve and capability to seek self-reliance and technological innovation,” Mao said at a press conference on Friday. The spokesperson said Washington has abused state power to suppress Chinese companies. She called U.S. move a violation of the principle of free trade and international trade rules and destabilizes the global industrial and supply chains. Such practice serves no one’s interest, she said, adding.
Mao responded to the Biden adminstration’s recent move targeting Huawei. Earlier Friday, a spokesperson of the U.S. Department of Commerce disclosed the agency is working to “obtain more information on the character and composition of the purported 7nm chip”. “Let’s be clear: export controls are just one tool in the U.S. government’s toolbox to address the national security threats presented by the PRC,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “The restrictions in place since 2019 have knocked Huawei down and forced it to reinvent itself — at a substantial cost to the PRC government.”
Huawei unveiled the same day pre-orders for new models including the Mate X5 and the Mate 60 Pro Plus, and both of the models were sold out within minutes of their launch on the official online store and other online marketplaces. Huawei didn’t give the specific prices for models. Online shoppers can place their orders with a deposit of RMB1,000 for each mobile, and the device is expected to be delivered by October 9. Without any prior advertising, sales of new models highlighted strong demand, just like debut of Mate 60 Pro a week before. Huawei surprisingly launched a presale for Mate 60 Pro priced at RMB6,999 (US$960) on August 29 even though it has not officially released the model. The low-profile presale turned out such a success that the first batch of the phone sold out within hours, igniting fervor for Huawei’s 5G comeback in China.
While Huawei didn’t provide details about technical specifications or whether the phone supports the 5G network, Chinese media outlets said online tests proved Mate 60 Pro can deliver the internet speed of 5G. Multiple reports attributed Mate 60’s 5G connectivity to Kirin 9000s chipset, which was deemed as evidence that Huawei managed to defy years of U.S. sanctions. Although the network speed test tool displays 4G LTE network, actual test results surpass the theoretical limit of 150Mbps, reaching over 800Mbps, fully meeting 5G network speed standards.
A teardown video of Mate 60 Pro showed that the Kirin 9000s is labeled as 2035-CN, where "CN" represents production in Chinese mainland, indicating that the chip is manufactured by domestic contract factories. A report from China Central Television hailed Mate 60 Pro as a mobiled backed a "Made-in-China chip", confirming the key part is made by Huawei's domestic supplier.
How did Mate 60 enable 5G connectivity? One speculation is that Huawei invested in over a dozen RF device manufacturers in recent years, thus achieving an "upgrade" of domestic RF technology. Additionally, the company may have obtained relevant components through special strategies. Many have noticed that the packaging of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro is labeled "Satellite Mobile Terminal," while most phone packages typically state "Mobile Phone," including those that support satellite communications.
