Huawei executive Yu Chengdong recently again exposed himself, the United States of America’s four rounds of sanctions, so Huawei company struggling, many products can not be produced. Huawei’s most important cell phone business has been hit hard, and it has been forced to turn to pig and fish farming for survival.
On May 16, 2019, Huawei’s 5G equipment and smartphone business was hit hard when the US blacklisted Huawei, which has a Communist Party military background, and banned it from buying US chips, parts and software, for national security reasons.
Huawei’s phone shipments have fallen since the third quarter of 2020 and began to plummet in the fourth quarter.
Huawei’s consumer business chief executive Yu Chengdong complained in a WeChat friend circle post on May 20 that four rounds of U.S. sanctions had left Huawei’s consumer business struggling. Due to the sanctions, many products could not be produced, resulting in serious shortages.
This is not the first time Yu Chengdong exposed Huawei’s plight, on April 30, he said in a WeChat circle post, in just under 2 years, the United States on Huawei’s 4 rounds of sanctions, a round than a round of fierce, Huawei was forced to extreme difficulties, unable to ship.
Yu also reluctantly admitted that Apple and Samsung occupied the market at a time when Huawei was in trouble.
Strategy Analystics, a leading global market research firm, released the “Q1 2021 Global Mobile Phone Market Shipment Report” in April, which showed that Samsung ranked first with 77 million units shipped, with a 23% market share and 32% annual growth.
Apple ranked second with 57 million units shipped and a market share of 17%, an increase of 44% compared to the same period last year.
Huawei is due to chip outages, cell phone shipments fell off a cliff, falling out of the global top 5, only listed in the “Others (Others)” column.
According to data from Counterpoint Research, another leading global research firm, Huawei’s cell phone shipments plunged 18 percent in the first quarter of 2021, leaving it with a global market share of just 4 percent.
Overall global sales of Huawei smartphones have shrunk after U.S. restrictions banned Huawei phones from installing Google apps and some other U.S. software, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The cell phone business, Huawei’s main source of gold, has directly contributed to a significant drop in Huawei’s revenue, which on April 28 reported a 16.5% drop in revenue to RMB 152.2 billion in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period a year earlier. This is the second consecutive quarterly decline in Huawei’s revenue, following an 11.2% drop in the fourth quarter of last year.
The U.S. sanctions have almost eliminated Huawei’s access to the most advanced semiconductors, and in order to “survive” Huawei has not only switched to pig farming, but also started taking orders for fish farming and has ventured into the coal mining business.
According to a February 15 report by the mainland media, Huawei’s machine vision president Duan Aiguo said in a micro headline that Huawei’s machine vision has launched a “smart pig farming” program, saying that the pig farming industry will develop towards digitalization, intelligence and unmanned development. Duan Aiguo also claimed that AI can upgrade pig farming technology.
As early as October 2020, Huawei published a report on “5G leads modern pig farm AI enables smart pig farming” at the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Digital Intelligence Ecological Development Forum.
Huawei’s development to the pig industry has surprised many mainland netizens. Hunan netizen “HW ex-HR.” mocked, “Wisdom makes pigs bigger?”
The Central News Agency reported on March 15 that Huawei, which is under blockade to survive, had recently taken orders for a large fish farm in a coastal province of China and a large coal mine in Shanxi.
