Global Tech Companies Shun Huawei After U.S. Ban

[francoba + 93]

Global technology companies are cutting ties with China’s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd after the U.S. government put the world’s largest telecom equipment maker on a trade blacklist, citing national security concerns.The United States has effectively banned its companies from doing business with Huawei, exacerbating an ongoing Sino-U.S. trade war. The ban applies to goods that have 25% or more of U.S.-originated technology or materials, and may affect non-American firms. Huawei is allowed to buy U.S. goods until Aug. 19 to maintain existing telecoms networks and provide software updates to its smartphones.

Obviously, Huawei is desperately trying to find exit ...
Last week, they signed an agreement to strengthen their cooperation with the African Union.

I found this, and it's not without sense ... Of course, this is for people who like to develop a variety of theories. Other hand could explain why intelligence agencies are "nervous" about Huawei's global infrastructure. Huawei "may" not know it's being used for intelligence-gathering, but its tech is too pervasive to be neutral ...

Sorry to rain on anyone's parade, but global semiconductor suppliers like NXP are not "shunning" Huawei... and are actually boasting about their US 25% "avoidance" techniques...

Meanwhile, Malaysia's Prime Minister decides to play the spoiler (maverick Dr. M is no fan of the U.S. or Westerners in general, so his stance does not surprise me.)

Malaysia to use Huawei technology as much as possible

Malaysia will make use of Huawei's technology as much as possible, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad told the Future of Asia conference in Tokyo, amidst ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China.

Nikkei Asian Review reported that while countries including Japan and Australia were avoiding the use of Huawei equipment as they introduced new 5G mobile networks, Dr Mahathir said Malaysia had no intention of shunning the Chinese company.

"Huawei's research is far bigger than Malaysia's capability," Dr Mahathir said in the conference hosted by Nikkei.
