Ding Lei apologized, saying that he had withdrawn the deletion letter and that the proposal was not hasty

It is reported that the recent proposal by NetEase CEO Ding Lei to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to unify the charging port has aroused heated discussion. After some media questioned it, NetEase issued a deletion letter to it, and the author published the deletion letter and once again caused controversy.

On the evening of January 14, Ding Lei sent a letter of apology to the author and responded to the controversy over whether the unified charging port standard would hinder the industry's innovation.

Ding Lei said that the previous deletion letter was not done by NetEase temporary workers, but sent by netease regular employees, and Ding Lei apologized that the team had problems of poor consideration and improper operation. At present, NetEase has withdrawn the relevant letters.

In response to the proposal of unifying the charging standard port of smart devices, Ding Lei said that the proposal is by no means hasty, and the team has done a lot of research in the early stage, and found that this problem is indeed the pain point of many people, so the relevant proposal was made at the CPPCC meeting.

For the "Fisheye Observation" author Yu Ping mentioned that the formulation of standards will hinder the technological innovation of the industry, Ding Lei also responded: I completely agree with your discussion on the market and competition. But on the other hand, Ding Lei stressed that we can see the same law from the process of the development of various technologies: in the initial stage of the development of a new technology, free competition will prompt a hundred flowers to blossom and a hundred schools of thought, so that technological innovation will take shape rapidly; after the technology is gradually formed, the industry or the government needs to formulate certain norms. Ding Lei said that we don't have to worry about constraining innovation because of these norms, because real innovation cannot be stopped. (Interface News)
