Here’s how Trump’s latest executive order could affect Huawei

A bigger concern, however, could be the move by the U.S. to add Huawei to the Bureau of Industry and Security’s so-called Entity List. That means U.S. firms will need to get a license from the bureau to sell or transfer technology to Huawei. The Chinese company relies on some components from U.S. companies like Intel and Qualcomm for smartphones and laptops.

Some analysts said this could have a large impact on Huawei.

“If fully implemented, the Entity List would immediately deny Huawei access to key hardware and software suppliers for its mobile infrastructure and handset businesses,” Eurasia Group said in a note on Wednesday.

“This would also quickly put at risk both the company itself and the networks of Huawei customers around the world, as the firm would be unable to upgrade software and conduct routine maintenance and hardware replacement,” analysts at the political risk consultancy said.

Eurasia Group warned it would “hit virtually all of Huawei’s products, including high-end smart phones, mobile infrastructure, data centers and cloud services, and have immediate global implications for any company utilizing Huawei’s products or services. European carriers, in particular, are likely to be affected quickly.”

However, Huawei relies on American components for its networking equipment and that could be the bigger concern, Ma added.

Last year, a list showing what Huawei deemed as “core suppliers,” reportedly released by the company, circulated around Chinese media. Of the 92 suppliers listed, 33 were American.

Another key risk for Huawei is that Trump’s executive order could potentially push other countries to effectively block Huawei from 5G.

The Trump administration has been on a campaign to pressure allies to ban Huawei but it has thrown up mixed results. Countries including Japan and Australia have barred Huawei, but other nations, particularly in Europe, have been open to

This EO was issued earlier today, and the consequences are still being mulled over by the experts, some of whom have been interviewed by the media. I'm not a technical expert, but I have to wonder whether, at some point, if the US decides not to pass internet traffic through to any country that uses Huawei telecom equipment, these countries will be forced to not use that equipment or be denied access to American internet resources.

I was confused by it earlier today but, eff em...

Clearly unconstitutional. Huawei Iis one of the 50 states.

[Does so]

I’ve always wanted to retire to Huawei.

I’ve only had ONE of their phones and it was the most horrible phone I’ve ever has the displeasure to use. In fact, I took it back to the store, glad to be rid of it.

So if that company becomes impaired, oh well! I inherited an older note, and while its a nice phone, it doesn’t have the face size of the grands. Qas pl

On the otherhand, i did love those giant size zte grand types. I still have one with a cracked screen, good enough to use for games. I miss it as my daily use phone.

If true, many countries might be a surprise and decide to side with China. This is not 1998. You would be surprised how many nations are siding with China.

You’d be surprised at how many countries end up siding with the US. Many countries’ leaders abuse the US in public, as a kind of safety valve, because Uncle Sam believes people should say what they mean and doesn’t go after them for the abuse. China believes foreign country statements about China should reflect their position as Chinese vassal states and punishes foreign countries that criticize China. That’s why foreign countries tend to say sweet nothings about China while screaming abuse at the US.

Don’t look at what they say - look at what they do. Or don’t. Which is host US forces or have a mutual defense treaty with the US. For instance, Singapore never says a bad thing about China, but will occasionally criticize US policy quite vocally. But it built an aircraft carrier servicing facility specifically to handle the Pacific Fleet’s CVBG’s at its own expense. That’s why it’s part of the F-35 program. Singapore never really says anything about Taiwan. But it holds regular military exercises with the Taiwanese and has equipment pre-positioned there. Singapore’s personnel there are apparently tasked to assist in the defense of Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion. But you won’t hear any mention of that in government press releases.

Let Europe sell them the technology. Oh wait they dont have it.

Our intelligence people told Trump that there are some serious problems with this system like excessive radiation and mind control crap embedded. Not to mention spying. Some of these suppliers were trying to sell military type technology to Huawei. Thats why Trump is putting controls on selling to them. The whole system is a weaponized spy tool. Its China! Duh!
