[TOKYO] Japan's Sony and memory chipmaker Kioxia Holdings have applied for US approval to continue supplying Huawei Technologies, Nikkei reported on Sunday.
If confirmed, the move follows other tech companies such as Intel that recently received licences from US authorities. With US-China ties at their worst in decades, Washington has been pushing governments around to world to squeeze out Huawei, arguing that the telecoms giant would transfer data to the Chinese government for espionage.
Huawei is one of the top customers for Sony's image sensors for smartphones. Kioxia Holdings is the world's No 2 maker of flash memory chips and a Huawei supplier.
