Beijing has leveled serious allegations against Washington, accusing it of hacking into Huawei’s servers and conducting cyber-attacks to pilfer critical data since 2009. These claims come amidst escalating tensions between the two global powers.
China’s Ministry of State Security has made these allegations public on its official WeChat account, unveiling what it calls “key despicable methods” employed by U.S. intelligence agencies in the realm of cyberespionage and data theft. The accusation is centered on the assertion that the U.S. government, along with influential tech companies, has secretly installed backdoors in software, applications, and equipment, facilitating the extraction of vital data from nations, including China and Russia.
The official statement points specifically to Huawei Technologies, alleging that the Office of Tailored Access Operations initiated server infiltrations at Huawei’s headquarters in 2009 and continued these surveillance activities. As of now, there has been no official response from the U.S. Department of State regarding the accusations put forth by China.
These allegations emerge in a climate where both the United States and China have been expanding their global espionage operations. Notably, in July, it was reported that hackers linked to Beijing had accessed the email account of the U.S. ambassador to China, potentially exposing hundreds of sensitive emails.
China’s National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center also disclosed its discovery of a spyware called “Second Date” during an investigation into a cyberattack on Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi’an, which occurred last year. According to the Ministry, “Second Date” is a “cyber-espionage malware developed by the U.S. National Security Agency, which operates covertly in thousands of networks in many countries around the world.”
In the midst of these mounting tensions, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan had recently expressed an interest in understanding the new “Made in China” Huawei chipset used in the Mate 60 Pro smartphone. Furthermore, the Xi Jinping government had briefly banned officials from using Apple iPhones at work, later retracting the decision and allowing all foreign devices, including Apple products, to be used by individuals in the country.
Huawei Shifts Strategy amidst the US-China Tech War:
Huawei has unveiled a significant strategic shift amidst the ongoing tech war, prioritizing artificial intelligence (AI) for the next decade. This marks a departure from its previous focus on cloud computing and intellectual property.
During an event in Shanghai, Huawei’s rotating chairwoman and CFO, Meng Wanzhou, announced the company’s “All Intelligence strategy.” This new direction aims to leverage AI’s growing impact across industries. Huawei aims to create a robust computing backbone for AI in China and globally. Meng Wanzhou stated, “Our end goal is to help meet the diverse AI computing needs of different industries,” though specific plans were not disclosed.
This pivot aligns with the global trend of businesses recognizing AI’s transformative potential. It will likely influence Huawei’s product offerings and R&D as it positions itself as an AI ecosystem leader.
Huawei joins a growing list of companies embracing AI to drive future growth and innovation. This shift is set to define Huawei’s trajectory for the next decade, impacting AI development on a global scale.
The Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, NIO, recently unveiled its first smartphone. The long-awaited NIO Phone has emerged as a true flagship device, boasting specs such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, 16 GB RAM, and 1TB storage. However, impressive technical specifications alone are not enough to stand out in a highly competitive market. One of the unique features that NIO is highlighting is the car control key, which ensures users will never need an extra key again. Here are the details…
NIO Phone is the world’s first car control key
One of the most notable features of the NIO Phone is its car control key. This key, located on the side of the phone, can be used to access a variety of car-related functions, including locking and unlocking the car, starting the engine, and controlling the climate system.
The car control key is powered by a combination of Bluetooth Low Energy and Ultra-Wideband technologies. BLE is a low-power technology that allows the phone to communicate with the car over short distances. UWB is a newer technology that provides more precise location tracking.
The combination of BLE and UWB allows the NIO Phone to control the vehicle with a high degree of accuracy and reliability. For example, the phone can use UWB to determine its precise location relative to the car. This allows the phone to unlock the car automatically when the user approaches it.
For example, users can use the key to start their car and precondition the climate control system while they are still walking to the car. This can save time and energy, especially on cold days. Another important detail is that you’ll never have to carry a key again.

The global foldable smartphone market grew 10% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2023, reaching 2.1 million units shipped, according to Counterpoint Research. This growth is in stark contrast to the overall smartphone market, which declined 9% year-over-year during the same period.
In particular, Chinese market is driving the growth of the global foldable smartphone market. In the second quarter of 2023, shipments in the Chinese foldable smartphone market surged 64% year-over-year to reach 1.2 million units. With this, China alone represents a 58.6% share of the global foldable smartphone market.
China’s high market share in foldable phones is likely due to the wider range of foldable smartphones available there. Out of 18 foldable smartphones launched globally in the second quarter of 2023, only 11 of them were launched outside of China. This means that there are seven more foldable smartphones for users in China to choose from.
For example, foldable like the Xiaomi Fold 3, Huawei Mate X3, Oppo Find N3, and Vivo X Flip are only available in China. In Q2 2023 alone, China saw five new foldable tailored for its market, while the global market outside China only saw two foldable launches.
However, Chinese manufacturers are now starting to expand their foldable smartphone offerings to global markets, which is expected to boost growth in the coming months.
Samsung is also expected to play a major role in the growth of the foldable phone market in the second half of 2023 with its latest Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldable smartphones. Counterpoint Research Senior Analyst Jene Park predicts that the era of the mass foldable phone will start in 2024, led by Samsung and Huawei’s entry-level foldables. He says “Entry-level foldables are expected to be priced around $600 to $700, making them more accessible to consumers.”

The packaging also includes 100 percent biodegradable materials and is made with 45 percent recycled fibers as well. Interestingly, a common design language can be seen among the newer smartphone retail boxes. The Find N3 has a plain gray box with the letter “3” etched on the front inside the rectangular outline of the Find N3.
Talking about the device itself, the device will feature a notebook-like folding display as its primary screen. This panel is a tall 7.82-inch OLED panel that has a QHD resolution. Meanwhile, its external display is a 6.31-inch panel with a Full HD+ resolution. The rear is expected to house two 48-megapixel sensors and a 64-megapixel lens., while the front could house 48-megapixel and 64-megapixel cameras for selfies. The device is expected to launch soon
