Huawei says that sees no immediate solutions to US chip restrictions

Comments by Huawei rotating CEO, Guo Ping

Huawei
  • Still working out a response to US chip restrictions
  • Business will be significantly affected by the curbs
  • But confident of finding solutions soon
In case you missed it, the Huawei issue from last Friday dragged the market lower initially before equities staged yet another late comeback towards the end of the week.
This is going to be a long and drawn out saga between the two countries, so expect more measures and countermeasures to be enacted in the coming weeks/months in response.

Huawei founder expects no relief from US sanctions

Huawei founder, Ren Zhengfei, spoke to the Associated Press

He also adds that he doesn’t want relief from US sanctions if it would require China to make concessions in a tariffs war, even if that means his daughter – who is under house arrest in Canada – faces a more prolonged legal battle.

With regards to yesterday’s announcement by the US on adding more of Huawei’s subsidiaries to the entity list, he says that:

“Whether the entity list is extended or not, that will not have a substantial impact on Huawei’s business. We can do well without relying on American companies.”

If there’s any takeaway from the message here is that China isn’t going to let up on fighting back against the US even if the sanctions and tariffs continue.
It goes without saying that the next plausible form of retaliation by China would be to limit US business opportunities in the country.
