en.Wedoany.com Reported - Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei announced that the company is targeting the production of chips with performance equivalent to the 1.4nm process by 2031, through a process path called "system time scaling," in order to circumvent U.S. technology export controls.

Ren Zhengfei stated that Huawei aims to directly compete with industry leaders such as TSMC (targeting 1.4nm by 2028), Samsung Foundry, Intel, and NVIDIA.

Ren Zhengfei co-founded Huawei in 1987 with a partner and a capital of 20,000 yuan. Starting as a distributor of telephone switches, the company has grown into a telecom network equipment provider, a smartphone supplier, and an enterprise with annual revenue exceeding $118 billion. Since 2018, the U.S. government has banned Huawei from doing business with American companies and allies on national security grounds, leading multiple countries to impose restrictions on Huawei's technology. Huawei has denied all allegations, including state espionage, theft of trade secrets, and violations of international sanctions. Despite sanctions, Huawei's global sales revenue in 2025 was 880.9 billion yuan (approximately $127.5 billion), a year-on-year increase of 2.2%, marking the second-highest annual revenue in the company's history. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated at an event at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the U.S. on December 3, 2025, that Huawei is one of the most powerful companies in the technology field, commanding respect in terms of company scale, workforce size, and technical capabilities. Ren Zhengfei is regarded as a symbol of China's technological autonomy and resilience for successfully leading the company through pressure.
