How Huawei made a cutting-edge chip in China and surprised the US

Huawei, facing sanctions and cut off from global semiconductor supply chains, bet its $67 billion chip and mobile business on a risky collaboration with the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) in China. Despite obstacles and SMIC joining the US sanctions list, Huawei launched the Mate 60 series phone powered by the Kirin 9000S chip, offering performance comparable to Qualcomm chips. The secretive breakthrough has sparked confusion and surprise among US government leaders, but the details remain undisclosed. The success of the chip project could determine China's ability to sustain its semiconductor industry and compete globally.
