Another major manufacturer, Xiaomi, is worried about its future. And it’s not surprising, since ZTE has already felt the “wrath” of America (but at least it cost little blood), and now it’s Huawei that is disentangling it.
In a recent interview, Xiaomi product managerAbi Go (Abi Go) touched on the topic of US sanctions. According to her, the disfavor of the US government is unlikely to affect Xiaomi, but, nevertheless, the company already has a backup plan.
In particular, part of the proceeds is sent to local semiconductor companies, which will be able to provide insurance if the road to their American colleagues is closed.
“We are currently assessing the situation.But at the moment there is no noticeable “contagion effect”. In fact, we work intensively side by side with American companies such as Qualcomm in the area of chips or Google in the area of our products for the Internet of Things ecosystem.
In any case, if something happens in the future,We have a “plan B”. Among other things, we invest heavily in several semiconductor manufacturers in China. But we believe that our business strategy should not be driven by decisions made by politicians. We decided to integrate the best components into our products. In addition, we intend to continue to do so in the future.
We are convinced that what really matters is ourthe desire to deliver the maximum without worrying about what competitors are doing. We think having competitors is a good thing because they force us to try our best. Our strategy is to do what we think is necessary and to do it as well as possible,” emphasized Abi Go.
