Doing business with huawei. This is just as the chinese tech giant is due to be hit with a full ban on working with us firms. So how did we get to this point . In may this year huawei was placed on the us entity list, effectively banning american firms from doing business with huawei because of National Security concerns. The move barred us companies, including google, intel and qualcomm, from working with huawei. But a few days later the us temporarily eased some of the restrictions for instance, allowing google to send through security updates for its android operating system. But this temporary exemption is due to end. There had been reports the us might extend the exemption, but President Trump cast doubt on that, saying he dosnt want american firms to do business with huawei. Huawei is a company we may not do business with at all. It was sort of reported, i think the opposite today, i was surprised, we are open to doing business with them, we are actually not open to doing business with them, so i dont know who gave the report. Now, they have little sections of huawei like furniture and other things that we could do, but when you cut out sections it gets very complicated. What is being sold, what is coming in. At this moment it looks much more like were not going to do business. I dont want to do business. I dont want to do business at all, because it is National Security threat. Mike weston, managing director at the Technology Firm agillic. How big a deal do you think it would be if this ban does take full effect against huawei . There are billions of dollars of steak and us turnover. It is also a big dealfor of dollars of steak and us turnover. It is also a big deal for huawei as well. They rely so heavily, notjust on the software with google and microsoft, but also with the semiconductors, cooling glass. There is so much at stake, so many Different Things intertwined within it. That said, given the fact that this has been bubbling along since may, huawei has had time to position itself and make contingency plans, for example, coming up with its own operating system for its phone, so it does not have to rely on googles android. That is right. They say that harmony os is ready to go to moments notice. But it is not as simple asjust moments notice. But it is not as simple as just having the operating system in place. You need that whole infrastructure behind it with the app infrastructure behind it with the app store, which had best analysis will take them months to be able to bill back. What about beyond huawei . There are supply chains and chipmakers and so on which will feel the effect of a us band against huawei. Exactly. Huawei spend about 11 billion a year on supplies, whether it is technology or equipment from the united states, thatis equipment from the united states, that is quite a big haul to leave behind. Whichever way this turns out, the fact is, huawei have got to plan around not having doubts available. So even if the president turns around and says, 0k, we will carry on doing business with huawei, huawei will be actively looking for replacements for that 11 billion of revenue into the us coffers. Is there any sign that they have actually made progress on that front, in terms of their response to all of this . Significantly, yes. Things like the semiconductors, they will be looking at supplies in asia, like samsung, for example. There are lots of other places they can go. It ta kes a lots of other places they can go. It takes a lot of time to organise but is certainly a thing they can do. But it will still have a massive knock on effect on their ability to cellphones outside china, and that is half their income.
