After ARM reportedly stopped all business dealings with Huawei because of technology being developed in the US to comply with the order passed by the Trump administration in the United States, it’s now Panasonic to seize dealing with the Chinese giant.
Japan-based Panasonic has announced that the company has stopped shipments of certain components to Huawei Technologies in order to comply with U.S. restrictions on the Chinese company. In a statement, the company said: “Panasonic has instructed employees to halt transactions with Huawei and its 68 affiliates covered by the U.S. ban.”
While the Osaka-based company does not have a major production site for components in the United States, it said the ban applies to goods having 25 percent or more of U.S.-originated technologies or materials.
However, the company has declined to comment on which components are subject to the ban and where they are getting produced. Panasonic makes a wide range of devices for smartphones, cars, as well as factory automation equipment.
Last week, the U.S. Commerce Department blocked Huawei from doing any kind of business with the US-based companies and buying goods made in the U.S. It is claiming that the firm was involved in activities contrary to national security but has not provided any proof for its allegations.

However, the United States temporarily eased the restrictions on Huawei on Monday, to minimize disruption for customers, for a period of 90 days. During this time, the company can purchase American-made goods for maintaining existing networks and provide software updates to existing Huawei handsets.
