Following the US-China trade disputes, the US Government has started to ease off on Chinese based companies. The issuing of licenses to firms to perform business partnerships with banned companies like Huawei is one such example. This has allowed American companies to resume their relations with the Chinese tech giant but it might be too late as Huawei is now building its smartphones without US-based parts.
Earlier this year, Huawei was placed on the ‘Entity List.’ After this, the Chinese company was forced to end ties with many of its American based partners after being issued a ban by the US Commerce Department. Initially, the move proved to cripple the company that relied on western companies like Google for Android OS support, ARM for its chipsets and other companies like Intel and Qualcomm as well. However, a new report suggests that the company no longer requires US-based chipsets anymore.

Huawei’s Mate 30 smartphone is a symbol of this new breed of smartphones which doesn’t feature any US parts. This was proven once the device was taken apart by analysts from UBS and Fomalhaut Techno Solutions which is a Japanese technology lab. The Chinese company has made great strides in distancing themselves and their reliance on the US.
Note: Huawei still uses US-based company’s chipsets but they are manufactured and synthesized in foreign countries.
According to analysts, Huawei made a big statement with the release of the aforementioned flagship smartphone that shipped with no US-made internals. Furthermore, even with Huawei previously announcing its move to do away with American parts, the company is currently in a great position owing to how quickly the shift actually came about.
