Smartphones made by Chinese technology giant Huawei are expected to re-enter the Pakistani market soon, company officials have said.
\nHuawei\u2019s executives in Pakistan told the media at a recent event that the re-launch was expected by the end of this year or by early 2024. The ceremony, organised to launch the company\u2019s annual report for 2022, was aired in many countries, including Pakistan. The development comes as Huawei Chairman Eric Xu last week issued fighting words against US tech export restrictions on China.
\nHe told reporters at a press conference that China\u2019s chip industry would be \u201creborn\u201d as a result of US sanctions. \u201cI believe China\u2019s semiconductor industry will not sit idly by but take efforts around … self-strengthening and self-reliance,\u201d Mr Xu said, according to an official translation of his comments.
\n\u201cFor Huawei, we will render our support to all such self-saving, self-strengthening and self-reliance efforts of the Chinese semiconductor industry,\u201d he said.
\nSemiconductors have been a flash point in the US-China battle for tech supremacy. Over the past few years, the United States has attempted to cut China and Chinese firms off through sanctions and export restrictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
