HONG KONG/BEIJING: The latest U.S. broadside against Huawei that puts the Chinese firm on an exports blacklist threatens to rattle the global tech supply chain, linked closely to the US$105 billion business of the world's top supplier of telecoms network equipment.
On the other hand, U.S. companies like Apple face the risk of severe retaliation from China, a key market.It will be tough for Huawei too, the person said, noting none of its U.S. suppliers"can be replaced by Chinese ones, not within a few years, at least. By then, they are already dead".
According to brokerage Jefferies, the sanctions would mean a"nightmare for China's 5G" too. The country, which is targeting a nationwide rollout next year, will very likely slow down its 5G push as a result, it added. Its rotating Chairman Eric Xu also told Reuters in a recent interview that"in case of unforeseen events ... we definitely have our contingency plan. What we have prepared has already been used in some of our products in the Chinese market".
