This actually makes me wonder - what makes them unable to sell outside of Europe/USA? I heard of them being kicked out of SD/WiFi associations, but how does this affect them in China?
It's now illegal for all the major players to sell them microprocessors. Can't build a smartphone without one. "The United States last week blocked Huawei from buying goods made from 25% or more of U.S.-originated technologies or materials"
I wonder what the long-term implications will be on American businesses for this. Will non-US major companies be wary of relying on US suppliers?

#23I didn't realize the effect would be so immediate. I thought it may affect next year's model but this current gen was fine. If it affects current gen smartphones could it also affect current gen 5g equipment? This would mean hauwei is essentially dead in the water.

You need semiconductors to make smartphones. China is mainly doing assembly.

Would be interesting if this ultimately results in a win for RISCV.

I'm not sure it's really worth engaging a throwaway account that is throwing around unsubstantiated "facts". You're just feeding the trolls ;)

20% of Five Eyes is in Europe. That's one good reason.
20% of Five Eyes, but the UK only represents 1 out of 28 countries in the EU which is 3.57%, yet they should dictate what everybody else does?
edit: Why the downvotes? As an EU citizen, I'm directly affected by this, and I very much do not like the idea of the EU towing the Five Eyes line to further fascilitate US foreign policy interests.
We very much would like to make our own decisions in our own interests and not have all our policies decided and forced upon us by the biggest brother on the planet.

Huawei may be one of the most popular smartphone brands in Poland (if not the most popular actually).
I guess the "Chinese dream" is over.

#28Business Insider seems to have mangled the SCMP article they quote as the source: https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3012702/huawei-re...
Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer that assembles handsets products for many phone brands including Apple and Xiaomi, has stopped several production lines for Huawei phones in recent days as the Shenzhen company reduced orders for new phones, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named as the information is private.
I assume each model is made on more than one production line in parallel, so the quote above seems to imply that production didn't stop completely, but capacity was reduced.

Five Eyes network, plus more informal relations with various European intelligence agencies. Not surprising or hard to see that the US wants to keep a strategic rival out.
