The U.S.'s aggressive \"small yard, high fence\" strategy aimed at curbing China's technological advancements may be hitting a snag. A prime example is the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, which sold out instantly, showcasing China's continued self-innovation despite facing stringent U.S. sanctions.
Professor John Gong highlights that this strategy not only challenges Chinese tech firms but also adversely affects American companies. \"By erecting high fences around their technological ecosystem, the U.S. is inadvertently restricting its own firms' growth and competitiveness,\" Gong warns.
Adding to the discourse, Jeffrey Towson points out that the U.S. is leveraging the tech supply chain as a political tool, potentially destabilizing global business relationships. \"Weaponizing the tech supply chain for political gain can lead to long-term economic repercussions for all parties involved,\" Towson explains.
As technology continues to be a cornerstone of global competition, the efficacy of the U.S.'s approach remains under scrutiny. The swift success of Huawei's Mate 60 Pro suggests that China's resolve to advance its tech industry remains unshaken, posing new challenges for global tech dynamics.
