Huawei Is Now Making Smartphones Without American Chips

'"American tech companies are getting the go-ahead to resume business
with Chinese smartphone giant Huawei Technologies Co., but it may be
too late," reports the Wall Street Journal.

Huawei is just building its smartphones without U.S. chips.

Huawei's latest phone, which it unveiled in September -- the Mate 30
with a curved display, telephone and wide-angle cameras that competes
with Apple Inc.'s iPhone 11 -- contained no U.S. parts, according to
an analysis by UBS and Fomalhaut Techno Solutions, a Japanese
technology lab that took the device apart to inspect its insides...

While Huawei hasn't stopped using American chips entirely, it has
reduced its reliance on U.S. suppliers or eliminated U.S. chips in
phones launched since May, including the company's Y9 Prime and Mate
smartphones, according to Fomalhaut's teardown analysis. Similar
inspections by iFixit and Tech Insights Inc., two other firms that
take apart phones to inspect components, have come to similar
conclusions.'
