Huawei Will Build a New Chip Plant to Circumvent US Restrictions
SHANGHAI, China—Huawei is planning to build its own chipset factory here in order to circumvent the U.S. Department of Commerce's decision in August that prohibits U.S. suppliers from providing semiconductor products and components to Huawei and its subsidiaries. The factory will make parts for its telecom hardware business.
The new factory is to be run by Shanghai IC R&D Center, Huawei’s partner. For now, the factory is said to be an experiment till it starts making products for user-end products.
