Last Thursday (April 6, 2023), China s "National Integrated Circuit Standardization Technical Committee" (hereinafter referred to as the IC Standardization Committee) was established in Beijing.
In this regard, it is important that uniform standards are established so that technologies get built in a way that they can be used by different products designed by different companies. In other words, this makes the technology product scalable – as it is designable, producible, and usable worldwide. Industry standardization is essential to guarantee the interoperability of devices globally.
With regards to IoT basic security standards, the Draft highlights that these mainly refer to the security standards of key basic links – IoT terminals, gateways, and platforms.
The Draft identifies five major standards for the IoT basic security standard system, which are general security requirements, terminal security, gateway security, platform security, and security management.
Huawei has been struggling in the smartphone business recently. The company still has a solid domain over the Chinese market and even achieved good results in markets as Russia. However, the future is quite uncertain now that the brand lost access to its Kirin chipset division. Recently, the Ban prohibited TSMC from dealing with the brand. Without the semiconductor company chips, Huawei couldn’t keep its Kirin chipsets coming. Now, the brand needs to rely on third-party chipsets from other manufacturers. This advancement has exposed a critical situation in the Chinese smartphone business. So far, there isn’t a solid semiconductor industry in China that can make cutting-edge chips to compete. However, this is set to change in the coming years.
