Huawei Replaces Thousands Of U.S.-Banned Parts In Its Products
Huawei Technologies Co Ltd said it has replaced more than 13,000 parts in its products that were hit by U.S. trade sanctions, quoting a transcript of a speech posted by a Chinese university. This move may fuel demand if its chips are on par with US-made ones — rendering sanctions ineffective.

Although the US and EU have been trying to further bring back semiconductor manufacturing into their regions, strong underlying economic activities in the semiconductor backend and related segments (e.g., PCB and EMS) in ASEAN countries are expected.
Huawei Connect 2021: Diving Into Digital
Huawei unveiled breakthrough innovations in several different domains, providing a first look at its comprehensive digital infrastructure range. Several of these innovations are completely new and have never been seen before outside of Huawei’s labs. The release highlighted how these products and solutions are set to shape digital infrastructure for the next decade.
Huawei’s annual flagship event for the global ICT industry – HUAWEI CONNECT 2021 – officially kicked off on September 23, 2021 at Shenzhen, China. This year’s event, themed “Dive into Digital”, explores how digital technology can better integrate with business scenarios and industry know-how to address critical business challenges, and how stakeholders can work together more effectively to foster an open industry ecosystem and drive shared success.
The event schedules four keynotes, five summits, and 66 sessions, featuring more than 200 speakers, including industry visionaries, business leaders, top tech experts, and ecosystem partners. It is live-streamed in 11 languages on Huawei’s corporate website and by its media partners. The event also featured online exhibitions, remote visits to exhibition halls, and open panel discussions, enabling online interaction and one-stop experiences.
Huawei Rotating Chairman Eric Xu graced the event with a keynote speech titled “Innovating Nonstop for Faster Digitalization”.In his keynote, Xu spoke about how helping industries go digital is a critical aspect of Huawei’s mission to bring digital to every person, home, and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world.
Xu said, “Digital development relies on digital technology. For digital technology to stay relevant, we must continue to innovate and create value. Cloud, AI, and networks are three critical digital technologies.” Xu then shared some of the progress Huawei has made in these three areas, what Huawei is doing to enable low-carbon development, and where the industry as a whole is heading.
At the event, Xu launched the industry’s first distributed, cloud-native service called UCS – a ubiquitous cloud-native service available on HUAWEI CLOUD. With UCS, Huawei plans to provide enterprises with a consistent experience while using cloud-native applications that are not constrained by geographical, cross-cloud, or traffic limitations, thereby accelerating digital transformation in all industries.
Xu also introduced Huawei’s innovations in the network domain. As organizations go digital, they tend to see exponential growth in network complexity. To tackle this, Huawei has been innovating solutions for global networks based on the concept of autonomous driving network (ADN). The company has been working with customers in the finance, education, and healthcare sectors to innovate and deploy new applications, and build networks that are self-fulfilling, self-healing, self-optimizing, and autonomous.
Xu went on to explain how Huawei is using digital technology to support low-carbon development, as part of global efforts to achieve peak CO2 emissions and carbon neutrality.
Specifically, Huawei focuses on three key initiatives:
- Investing and innovating in energy-saving technologies to deliver more energy-efficient ICT products for a low-carbon ICT industry;
- Investing in innovations where power electronics and digital technologies converge to promote clean energy and the digitalization of traditional energy; and
- Providing digital technology to help all sectors go digital and low-carbon.
Zhang Ping’an, CEO of Cloud BU and President of Huawei Consumer Cloud Service, elaborated on HUAWEI CLOUD’s strategic initiatives and launched new services and products at the event. “HUAWEI CLOUD joins our customers and partners to dive into digital and explore the potential of Everything as a Service – Infrastructure as a Service for global accessibility, Technology as a Service for flexible innovation, and Expertise as a Service for shared excellence,” says Zhang.
Zhang also announced two new Regions in Mexico and China’s Ulanqab, and launched 10 new HUAWEI CLOUD services. The announcement included MacroVerse – HUAWEI CLOUD aPaaS, OptVerse AI Solver, HUAWEI CLOUD Stack 8.1, SparkRTC – a real-time audio and video service, and Pangu, a large model for drug molecules.
Customers and partners in attendance included Christophe Ozer, Head of Orange Cloud (Orange Flexible Engine) APAC; Wu Qiang, Vice President of Tianjin Port Holdings; Chen Haining, General Manager of IT Dept from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank; and Jiang Chuanrong, Chairman of Shanghai Mirror Pictures.
Xu concluded his speech with, “Nonstop innovation has been the driving force behind digitalization thus far. Moving forward, if we hope to reach more ambitious goals for digitalization, nonstop innovation will continue to be key. So let’s innovate nonstop for a better future.”

What Will Move Us Next?IAA Mobility 2021 Highlights
With 2021 coming to a close and some countries slowly easing restrictions within their country, the post-pandemic world has certainly been enlightened to how mobility affects us significantly.
By Ashwini Balan, Eastern Trade Media
Mobility can be labelled as an umbrella term that encapsulates a wide range of functions either as enabling mobility or in itself mobility. Especially in our digital world, the possibility is simply limitless from our standard automobiles to digital solutions and urban air mobility. With the global vision of an all-electric future, the organisers of IAA Mobility 2021, have brought together a phenomenal trade show that has been a trending topic among trade leaders, international corporations and fans of the latest automotive innovations.

Huawei To Focus Its Investments In AI
Huawei Technologies is looking to increase its investment in AI due to the projected long term benefits to its internal management efficiency and the advantages associated with an intelligent product line.
Ahead of the Huawei Connect 2018 conference, Huang Weiwei, a senior management consultant at Huawei, has said that, “A huge investment in top AI talent will inevitably bring big cost pressures for the company but in the long run there will be benefits as the improved efficiency and productivity will help the company to earn even bigger profits.” He has also projected that AI alone could contribute to as much as 90 percent of the company’s revenue despite AI based manpower being relatively small compared to the total number of employees.
According to a Sequoia China report that was released in August this year, the number of AI companies in China reached 1,011 as of June 2018, which makes China the second most AI dense country in the world, with the first being the U.S. While on the whole, China aims to revolutionise its landscape in areas such as healthcare, automobile and security through the adoption of AI with the country’s State Council even laying out a three-step road map for AI development in July 2017. This is also in retaliation to the ongoing trade and technology war with the U.S.
