Chinese vendor Huawei has been preparing for years for the scenario of a ban which would not allow the company to buy components from U.S companies, according to a report by CNN Business.
“This decision [the ban]is the latest move in the campaign against Huawei, waged by the U.S. government for political reasons,” Huawei’s rotating Chairman Ken Hu wrote in a memo to employees.
“The company has known this could be a possibility for many years,” the executive said. “We have invested heavily and made full preparations in a variety of areas.”
