Editor's note: Huawei, which has endured years of US sanctions, surprised the world on Aug 29, with an unadvertised announcement --the launch of its latest high-end smartphone, the Mate 60 Pro, priced at 6,999 yuan ($964). This strategic move, devoid of pre-release marketing, triggered an instant sensation, especially within China. By September 1, nearly 800,000 units of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro had either been sold or pre-ordered. The Mate 60 Pro is hailed as a 5G smartphone with entirely independent intellectual property rights, prompting questions about the effectiveness of a US-led global campaign to hinder China's advancement in cutting-edge technology.

Congratulations to Huawei and all the engineers who have been working hard in semi-conductor areas! Huawei is a warrior who can't be beaten to death. The US, time to wake up! Your sanctions have been a total failure!
