Huawei has faced numerous sanctions in the past, but has managed to turn each challenge into a patriotic campaign, elevating the survival challenge into a symbol of national pride. However, without TSMC's reliable supply, the company's ability to maintain high-quality, high-performance chips is in question.
Huawei claims to pursue self-reliance and speed up domestic chip manufacturing, but building an entire chip production chain, especially under international embargoes, is no small feat. China's domestic chip industry, including manufacturers like SMIC, is still lagging in terms of production quality and yield, making it difficult for Huawei to compete in the high-end market.
