New U.S. rule could end in 'near-total cutoff' of chips to Huawei, dealing 'lethal blow,'

Huawei could face a "near-total" cut-off from key semiconductors after the U.S. tightened restrictions on the Chinese firm's ability to obtain critical components, according to one group of analysts.

The latest rule could be a huge blow for the technology giant, which was already facing limited options to procure the chips it needs.


If Huawei isn't able to get access to the components it needs, billions of dollars of revenue is on the line from across its entire business.

"The U.S. moves represent a significant tightening of restrictions over Huawei's ability to procure semiconductors. That puts into significant jeopardy its ability to continue manufacturing smartphones and base stations, which are its core products," Dan Wang, technology analyst at Gavekal Dragonomics, a research firm, told CNBC.

Huawei was not available for comment when contacted by CNBC.

This looks like a death blow to Huawei.

China manufactures its own semiconductors now thanks to Trump. Americans are completely cut out of the supply chain

If Huawei doesn't have a work around to this then they deserve to go bust.

But the old soldier Ren Zhengfei knows how to fight a battle and win so my bets on him.

This looks like a death blow to Huawei.

A very foolish decision by USA it will bring the dragon in semiconductor business within few years. Is it wise? it's very good for us consumers greater the competition lesser the prices. Yes Huawei will suffer short-term losses but in mid and long term usa's monopoly on semiconductor business will come to an end

Today it is huawei, tomorrow it is other Chinese companies.

China needs to focus all its resources on developing the alternative supply chain.
