Intel, Qualcomm and Google are cutting off business with Huawei

It seems that USA-China trade war has really started now: America was the land of free trade … precisely until it is not anymore.

Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Xilinx have reportedly moved to stop supplying Huawei. Google has also suspended business with Huawei in the wake of the ban.

According to Bloomberg, semiconductor companies Intel, Qualcomm, Xilinx and Broadcom will no longer supply Huawei until further notice. Another report says that Google has suspended some trade with Huawei, leaving it with access only to the open-source version of Android.

    Huawei is getting blacklisted by the United States. The tech company was added to the Commerce Department’s Entities List, a de facto ban on US companies selling to Huawei. It’s part of an ugly trade war between the US and China, and it goes a lot deeper than what you’ve probably read.

    The bad news keeps piling up for under-fire Huawei.
    Reports say the Chinese tech giant has now been yanked out of major global standard groups, including Wi-Fi Alliance and SD Association.
    It’s going make it much more difficult for Huawei to do business.
    This comes as a Chinese expert has warned the U.S. that it’s not just China that’s unhappy with the Trump administration’s unilateralism and trade protectionism.

    According to the Nikkei Asian Review,… Wi-Fi Alliance, which certifies Wi-Fi products and sets the standard, has temporarily banned Huawei’s access to future standards.
    The Texas-based alliance includes Apple, Qualcomm, Broadcom and Intel.
    The Chinese company has also voluntarily withdrawn from JEDEC — which sets semiconductor standards and counts global chipmakers Qualcomm, Samsung, SK Hynix and Toshiba among its members.

    Huawei has also disappeared from the SD Association, which develops standards for SD cards — the most popular memory card format used in portable devices.

    The Arm-Huawei Disconnect
    https://semiengineering.com/the-arm-huawei-disconnect/

    Setting the record straight on what’s really going on behind the scenes.

    Arm’s move to stop licensing its processor IP to HiSilicon, the captive chipmaker for Huawei, has set off a panic across the semiconductor industry. While the underlying threat to the entire chip industry is very real, many of the conclusions being drawn about this move are misleading or just plain wrong.

    When the U.S. government blacklisted Huawei, it imposed export restrictions on shipping any IP developed in the U.S. to Huawei, or indirectly to Huawei through HiSilicon. Arm is a British company with a Japanese owner (Softbank), but much of its IP is developed in the United States. As a result, Arm has little choice but to comply with U.S. regulations. Even its Chinese subsidiary receives IP developed in the United States.

    What this means for Huawei is very much dependent on how long this trade dispute lasts.

    Inside sources tell Semiconductor Engineering that Huawei, like many other large customers of IP companies, has been working with early versions of technology from a number of vendors. Sources say HiSilicon licensed Arm’s newest processor technology more than two years ago.

    As a result, the short-term impact on Huawei/HiSilicon is negligible. Like many IP vendors, Arm develops a roadmap that is two to three years out, and it develops that IP in conjunction with partners such as HiSilicon.

    The problem for Huawei is that all of the major processor cores are being at least partly developed in the United States. So while Arm has multiple design hubs in several different countries, with the largest in Cambridge, England, its No. 2 hub is in Austin, Texas. They’re not alone. Other developers of major cores are based in California. RISC-V came out of UC Berkeley. MIPS is owned by Wave Computing, which bought it from U.K.-based Imagination Technologies in 2017. SPARC is owned by Oracle.

    Where things get fuzzy is around technical support. There are guidelines in place under the current restrictions involving what kinds of conversations are permitted, technical or otherwise.

    All of this is very fluid, and a number of big chipmakers, IP and memory vendors do business with HiSilicon or Huawei and are therefore affected. Although a 90-day temporary license for Huawei is in place for some companies, it has no bearing on semiconductor IP.

    TSMC to Keep Supplying Chips to Huawei
    https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1334745

    Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) plans to continue making chips for Huawei even as other companies in the global semiconductor ecosystem are complying with a U.S. ban on supplies to the Chinese electronics company.

    At its May 23rd technology symposium, TSMC said that after careful consideration, it will maintain its shipments to Huawei’s chip arm HiSilicon throughout this year. The world’s biggest foundry noted that any impact to one client could result in gains for another client.

    While TSMC’s shipments to Huawei will continue, the halt of components and software from other suppliers may still have some impact on TSMC

    The Trump administration earlier this month implemented the ban on Huawei — on accusations of aiding Beijing in cyber espionage — threatening to halt key supplies of U.S. software and semiconductors the Chinese company needs to make its products. The ban potentially threatens the existence of the world’s largest provider of telecommunications networking equipment and the second-ranked smartphone maker.

    TSMC said at its technology symposium that it doesn’t need to stop exports to Huawei as it does not have over 25% U.S.-origin technology in its manufacturing process. About 90% of TSMC’s labor and overhead are in Taiwan and a substantial portion of its blank silicon wafers are from Japan, Europe and Taiwan. The only sizeable U.S. inputs to TSMC are EDA software, IP and equipment, according to Abrams.

    Huawei’s New OS is Reportedly 60% Faster than Android & Expected to be Out By Oct
    https://goodyfeed.com/apppreview1646/

    Google has banned Huawei from using its service, and Huawei has to activate their back-up plan: a new OS to replace Android.

    News of this new OS has been reported in the past, it’s only now that the new OS, reportedly called Hongmeng, got into the limelight.

    there’s no change in anything for 90 days, though the damage has been done: retailers aren’t buying Huawei phones and second-hand mobile shops aren’t taking them in.

    Huawei hasn’t given up on Google (and Microsoft) yet: according to an interview, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business said, “Today, Huawei, we are still committed to Microsoft Windows and Google Android. But if we cannot use that, Huawei will prepare the plan B to use our own OS.”

    US to reportedly blacklist Chinese surveillance camera giant Hikvision
    https://www.zdnet.com/article/us-reportedly-to-blacklist-chinese-surveillance-camera-giant-hikvision/

    The reported ban on Hikvision comes at a time when US is restricting technology exports to several leading Chinese technology companies, including Huawei.

    The Trump administration is considering slapping a US export ban on China’s Hikvision, one of the world’s largest surveillance companies, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing unidentified sources familiar with the matter.

    Hangzhou-based Hikvision was the world’s largest surveillance camera maker between 2011 and 2017, owning 38% in market share globally in 2017

    The export ban on Hikvision would be the same as the one applied to Huawei, which has been included in the US government’s Security Entity List.

    The US government has issued an alert warning that Chinese-made drones may be sending sensitive flight data to their manufacturers in China. Shenzhen-based DJI, the world’s largest commercial drone maker which owns more than a half of global market share, is believed to be a major target in the latest warning.

    Hikvision also told local Chinese media that the US ban would not have a major impact to its business as the company purchases equipment not only from the US, but also from Southeast Asia and other countries.

    Huawei calls on Korean chipmakers to continue their parts supply
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBprjfH6ZHY

    Now, with the ongoing trade war between the two largest economies,… South Korean companies are in a rather tricky position after the Trump Administration placed China’s Huawei on its export blacklist.

    Huawei is calling on Korean companies to continue supplying it with parts.
    According to business sources, executives from Huawei met with officials from Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, LG Display and others last Thursday and Friday, calling on them to continue their supply of major parts and components.
    The move comes after the Trump Administration put Huawei on a trade blacklist over security concerns and has called on its allies, including Korea, to join in restricting business with Huawei.
    U.S. chipmakers like Intel and Qualcomm announced that they will stop selling critical software and components to Huawei until further notice, which is set to hurt its supply chain.
    Korean companies including Samsung Electronics and LG Display supplied more than 10 billion U.S. dollars of components to Huawei last year.
    That’s about six percent of Korea’s total exports to China.

    If huawei was a nacional security threat the wouldn’t have received another 90 day.. For me it’s s simple this is for political gain election 2020.

    This is all a US scam to try and shut Huawei’s 5G. USA is afraid that Huawei will use a backdoor on the system but they don’t mention USA does the same thing and they don’t want to loose it.

    No, Huawei’s Android replacement OS isn’t coming in June
    https://www.androidauthority.com/huawei-os-june-991546/

    Earlier today, a rumor originating with TechRadar suggested that the release of the so-called Huawei OS — the company’s replacement for Android — would launch next month. The source of this information was Alaa Elshimy, Managing Director and Vice President of Huawei Enterprise Business Group Middle East.

    While the caliber of that source would suggest that this information is correct, Android Authority has a statement from Huawei explicitly stating that this is not the case.

    According to Huawei, the Huawei OS — codenamed internally as HongMeng and better known as “Plan B” — will not launch in June. In fact, there is no set date for its reveal.

    Previous rumors surrounding HongMeng strongly suggest that the operating system is not ready for release. Therefore, it was certainly surprising to hear the original rumor that the OS would launch so soon. We’re now back to believing that it will be some time — definitely months, at least — before we see Huawei’s attempt to replace Android.

    The pressure mounting on Huawei to eliminate its dependence on Android stems from its current status on the Entity List issued by U.S. President Donald Trump. This effectively bars Huawei from working with any U.S.-based companies, which includes Google.

    Hongmeng: Here’s everything you need to know about Huawei’s Operating System
    https://www.huaweicentral.com/hongmeng-heres-everything-you-need-to-know-about-huaweis-operating-system/

    It’s all started in March this year, when Yu Chengdong AKA Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business division told, Huawei has developed its own operating systems for smartphones and computers in case the company can’t use Android or Windows systems following tensions between Huawei and the US government.

    May 20, 2019, “Hongmeng”:

    After this series of events, We’ve reported that the company’s upcoming operating system is developed under Hongmeng name and was in active development since the year 2012.

    May 21, 2019, Few More details landed:

    New information revealed that Huawei’s OS is based on Linux and Hongmeng name is related to Chinese mythology. That fits in the lineup of names like processor series “Kirin”

    May 21, 2019, Problems with early application ecosystem:

    Apart from an operating system, there’s always a need of application ecosystem that is tagged with several problems including compatibility and bugs

    May 21, 2019, First glance at Availability and Compatibility:

    According to Huawei’s consumer business CEO Yu Chengdong, Huawei’s first-ever self-developed operating system will soon be launched this fall the earliest and no later than spring next year. Interestingly, the new Huawei OS will be compatible with all Huawei phones, tablets, TV, and wearable devices.

    He also revealed that Huawei’s OS is also compatible with all Android applications and all web applications.

    May 23, 2019, Huawei CEO’s interview:

    Huawei CEO again confirmed the launch date to CNBC, that Huawei’s operating system could be ready by the fourth quarter of this year and a version for the global market in the first or the second quarter of 2020.

    He also said the operating system will support all android apps and come with its “App Gallery” as a default app store.

    May 24, 2019, Huawei registered “Hongmeng” trademark in China:

    A major scientific society has banned employees of Huawei, the Chinese communications giant, from reviewing submissions to its journals because of U.S. government sanctions against the company.

    The New York City–based Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) told editors of its roughly 200 journals yesterday that it feared “severe legal implications” from continuing to use Huawei scientists as reviewers in vetting technical papers.

    Specifically, IEEE says they “cannot receive or access materials submitted by other persons until after IEE has accepted the material for publication.” At that point, Huawei scientists “may act as editor or peer reviewer for that material.”

    The IEEE ban has sparked outrage among Chinese scientists on social media.

    Huawei a key beneficiary of China subsidies that US wants ended

    The fairytale-like facilities rest on land that was sold by the local government at cut-rate prices to woo and bolster a strategic, high-tech company like Huawei

    Huawei has become a major flashpoint in the trade war, with President Donald Trump taking steps to block the company’s dealings with US companies, threatening its global ambitions.

    Huawei’s annual reports and public records show that it has received hundreds of millions of dollars in grants, heavily subsidised land to build facilities and apartments for loyal employees, bonuses to top engineers, and massive state loans to international customers to fund purchases of Huawei products.

    “Like other companies, Huawei receives research subsidies from governments in several jurisdictions,” the spokeswoman told AFP.

    Huawei inked a $10 billion credit line with the China Development Bank (CDB) in 2004 to provide low-cost financing to customers buying its telecom gear. It was tripled to $30 billion in 2009.

    This type of loan is known as export credit and primarily regulated under an OECD arrangement incorporated into the WTO.

    But China has refused to sign on or abide by its rules

    Since 2015 China has provided more funding each year to support its exports than the OECD’s 36 member-nations combined, according to US Export-Import Bank data.

    Oi filed for Brazil’s largest ever bankruptcy.
    Nevertheless, Oi is working with Huawei to prepare for 5G.

    Similarly, Indian wireless provider Reliance Communications filed for bankruptcy this spring with the CDB and the Export-Import Bank of China among its largest lenders

    Huawei Discloses Its New OS Name
    https://interestingengineering.com/huawei-discloses-its-new-os-name?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Article&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=May30

    The well-known Chinese tech giant has yet to confirm its exciting new OS’s launch date.

    What will Huawei call its new OS?
    HongMeng OS is what is rumored via Chinese media portals to be its Chinese name, set to be released in the last quarter of 2019 in its home country.

    However, to sound more appealing to markets outside of China, Huawei has registered its new Ark OS brand in Europe.

    Furthermore, the company has requested to register five brands in total in Europe: Huawei Ark OS, Ark OS, Huawei Ark, Ark, and Huawei Ark Compiler.

    an alternative to the Google Play Store, what will be known as AppGallery in its new OS, will come pre-installed in handsets bought outside of China.

    That said, this system will only be used if the company is kept from using Google and Microsoft products, stresses Yu.

    When will the OS be launched?
    The exact date has not yet been disclosed.

    China may see its launch in the fourth quarter of 2019, whereas the global version of Ark OS may only be available in the first or second quarter of 2020.

    “I wonder if this is a case where people in two different cultures are totally misunderstanding each other’s interpretation of the ground rules, which has led both to feel the other has cheated them.”
