If the United States hadn't forced our country, our companies, and our industry, we wouldn't have done something like this. But we are also grateful to the US for enabling our country's semiconductor industry chain to truly grow.

Quote: Xu Zhijun (Huawei) — "...we are also grateful to the US for enabling our country's semiconductor industry chain to truly grow." (2026). The source_url (techradar.com) returns HTTP 403 Forbidden and cannot be fetched directly. However, web search independently corroborates the exact quote ("but we are also grateful to the US for enabling our country's semiconductor industry chain to truly grow") across Tom's Hardware, TechRadar, Yahoo Finance and others, attributed to Huawei's Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun in 2026 re: how US export controls inadvertently supercharged China's semiconductor industry. Year (2026) current. Vote alignment checks out: statement 392 "Democracies should coordinate export controls on AI chips to China" with Xu voting "against" — consistent; a Huawei executive opposes such controls, arguing (pointedly) they backfired by accelerating China's domestic chip industry.
