| Huawei: US restrictions are related to technological hegemony |
Huawei's rotating president, Guo Ping, said on Monday that Huawei will inevitably be affected by recent moves by Trump's administration to reduce the ability of Chinese telecom giants to use American semiconductor development technology. At the top of a global analyst, the company said: We will find a solution as soon as possible. ""
Ping's comment was the company's first official response after the Trump administration announced new measures on Friday to prevent the global chip show from reaching Huawei.
The new rules come into effect on Friday, but there is a 120-day grace period. This means that non-US chip manufacturers that use US-made technology must apply for a license before shipping the chip to Huawei or its 114 locations. (HiSilicon).
The new restrictions have a direct impact on Taiwan semiconductor manufacturers (TSMC), the world's largest chip manufacturer and primary supplier for Huawei.

"This decision is arbitrary and can harm the entire industry worldwide. This new rule affects the expansion, maintenance, and continuous operation of hundreds of billions of dollars we have in implementing the network in more than 170 countries."
According to a report published by Reuters last month, Huawei switched the production of internally developed chips from TSMC to Chinese semiconductor manufacturers (SMIC), but the new licensing rules also apply to (SMIC). It depends on American chip makers.
In related developments, Huawei's CEO said on Monday that the restrictions imposed by Washington on Friday are aimed at alleviating US cybersecurity problems to protect America's dominance of global technology, and that the United States has used its technology to destroy overseas.
