Eric Xu explained from the stage that export controls and supply chain constraints have forced Huawei to build its own domestic supply chain and define its own path to market for tech infrastructure or risk obsolescence. This turned Connect announcements into statements of strategic autonomy from. Huawei has recently revealed its long-term chip strategy for the first time, announcing plans to launch some of the world's most powerful computing systems and highlighting China's push to reduce reliance on foreign semiconductor suppliers such as Nvidia.
