Huawei says it’s running out of chips for its smartphones because of US sanctions
« on: August 09, 2020, 04:13:39 pm »
Huawei, the world’s biggest smartphone vendor, says it’s running out of processor chips because of US sanctions against the company, The Associated Press reported. And according to Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business unit, as of next month the Chinese phone manufacturer will no longer be able to make its own Kirin chipsets due to the ongoing economic pressure from the US.

“Unfortunately, in the second round of U.S. sanctions, our chip producers only accepted orders until May 15. Production will close on Sept. 15,” Yu said at a conference August 7th. “This year may be the last generation of Huawei Kirin high-end chips.” Huawei’s upcoming Mate 40 phone, scheduled for release in September, could be the last phone with a Kirin chip.

Huawei is one of the most devious corporations on the planet.  Their success relies totally upon stealing technology from other companies, countries, etc.  They single-handedly put Lucent out of business by stealing their most advanced products and replicating them.  I can only imagine how much they gained by openly raiding top secret files from the US Patent Office during John Huang's tenure at Commerce under Clinton.  They wouldn't even have a smart phone without stealing it from someone else.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
