Chinese tech giant, Huawei, to lose astronomical $30billion in the next 2 years due to US ban
The world's
second largest phone makers, Huawei, has revealed that the Chinese company will
lose about $30billion in the next two years due to the US' stringent ban on its
products and services.The Donald
Trump led US Administration this year, imposed a ban on all Huawei cellphones
and component sales and also warned US based companies and its allies to avoid
doing business with Huawei as the Chinese company spies on other governments
using its equipments on the request of the Chinese government.Tensions
between the U.S. and the Chinese tech giant have escalated since Huawei’s chief
financial officer Meng Wanzhou, Ren’s daughter, was arrested in Vancouver,
Canada, in December at the request of U.S. authorities. Meng was accused of
trying to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran by trying to sell equipment to the
country, ever since then coupled with the US trade war on China, the US has
imposed business restrictions on the Chinese giant."We
never thought that the U.S.'s determination to attack Huawei would be so
strong, so firm," Ren said Monday during a panel discussion at company
headquarters in Shenzhen, stating Huawei’s sales revenue for the next two years
will be about $100 billion — down from the previous target he made in February
of $125 billion in 2019“…We cannot
get components supply, cannot participate in many international organizations,
cannot work closely with many universities, cannot use anything with U.S.
components, and cannot even establish connection with networks that use such
components.”''The
company's current situation is not caused by American businesses, but rather by
certain politicians' different perspectives," Ren said while comparing the
tech giant's current state to a "badly damaged plane." "I think
both sides will suffer. No one will win."In March,
Tech giant, Huawei filed a lawsuit in the U.S. challenging the
constitutionality of a national security law which prevents the U.S. government
and its contractors from using Huawei equipment.
