The Heritage Foundation’s Nile Gardiner says the UK banning Huawei from China could be the ‘beginning of the end’ for the company’s presence in Europe.
Huawei Technologies Co. will stop manufacturing its flagship Kirin chipsets next month, financial magazine Caixin said on Saturday as U.S. influence on the Chinese tech giant grows.
U.S. pressure on Huawei suppliers has made it impossible for the company’s HiSilicon chip division to make the chipsets, key components for mobile phones.

With US-China relations at least for decades, Washington is urging governments around the world to squeeze out Huawei, claiming it would pass on data to the Chinese government for spies. Huawei denies spying for China.

The United States is also seeking the extradition from Canada of Huawei’s chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, on charges of bank fraud.
In May, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued orders requiring software and manufacturing equipment vendors to refrain from doing business with Huawei without first obtaining a license.

“As of September 15, our flagship will not be able to produce Kirin processors,” Yu said, according to Caixin. “Our AI-powered chips also cannot be processed. This is a great loss for us. ”
Huawei’s HiSilicon division relies on software from US companies such as Cadence Design Systems or Synopsys to design its chips and it outsources production to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), which uses equipment from US companies.
Huawei declined to comment on the Caixin report. TSMC, Cadence, and Synopsys did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
