In recent times, Huawei has been facing troubles in the west. The tech giant had faced a ban in the US back in 2019, and its aftershocks can still be observed. The company has faced various accusations around this time as well, and while the US is actively working on hampering its operations in the west, Huawei is reportedly trying to reduce its reliance on US based technologies themselves.

As it stands right now, the various allegations of espionage, links to the Chinese government, risk of security, is but a few of the accusations Huawei has faced from the US. The same can even be said to certain European regions as well, where the US is also applying pressure. However, the company is standing on its resolve of becoming completely self sufficient as it is further trying to reduce the US based technological aspects it currently applies to its offerings.

To become completely independent, the company has focused its efforts on developing its own core technologies. These include it’s in house chip manufacturing processes, design and more. The move will make Huawei completely self dependent but would affect the various Taiwanese companies that Huawei often works with.

Various suppliers will lose out deals or contracts that be valued for a very high sum. However, the supply of technologies like display driver chips, sensors, wireless transmission chips, and analog chips will still be contracted to suppliers, considering that the company is focusing on Core areas only, for now. Currently, Huawei is working on making its own processors and AI chips while simultaneously working on wired and wireless connectivity chips as well, which should roll out by Q2 of 2020.
