Overview

Summary

The US-China trade war has been ongoing for several years, significantly impacting the semiconductor industry due to the US imposing numerous restrictions on China. Semiconductors, essential for smartphones, have notably hindered the progress of China’s smartphone sector amid these sanctions.
Huawei was particularly affected during this standoff between the US and China. The sanctions led to a market decrease in Huawei’s market share, prompting other Chinese smartphone manufacturers to aggressively pursue the high-end market. However, the situation escalated on August 29, 2023, when Huawei unveiled its 5G Mate 60 Pro, stirring further tensions with the US. This move highlights how the smartphone development conflict has transitioned from mere brand competition to a pivotal aspect of the technological struggle between the US and China.
