In recent years, Huawei‘s Kirin chips have developed very rapidly. This is inseparable from the company’s efforts as well as its decisions. Recently, Huawei’s rotating chairman, Xu Zhijun, revealed the reason for the development in an interview. According to him, Huawei’s Kirin chips have advanced over the years because there is “no shortage of money and simple decision-making”.
According to Xu Zhijun, huge investments in chips doesn’t always guarantee success. If the decision-making process is complex, there could be no significant growth. He added, “We have made more money and we have to write a review to show that the strategic investment is not enough.”
