Huawei has been added to the “entity list” by the US Department of Commerce for a month. This has caused some companies in the US and other countries to sever their business with Huawei. This, in turn, is affecting Huawei’s various businesses, especially those involving chips and software. Many users believe that sooner or later, Huawei smartphones will no longer be compatible with Android and its notebooks can’t use Windows. The impact of the US ban on Huawei’s consumer products is mainly in the foreign markets, founder Ren Zhengfei, said. In an interview with the media, he said that the company’s revenue may drop by $30 billion and this is only a worst-case estimate, it could be much better. For overseas business, Ren Zhengfei mentioned that it may drop by 40%, but this data is also the worst case scenario. In fact, it has not fallen so much.
