Huawei's new smartphone series, powered by its proprietary Kirin 9000s chips, has sparked concerns in the US about its ability to curb China's tech ambitions. The Kirin 9000s chips deliver comparable performance to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888. The US is reportedly planning to update its restrictions on the export of AI chips and semiconductor production equipment to China. Huawei continues to be one of Qualcomm’s major customers, purchasing between 23 million and 25 million chips from Qualcomm last year. However, if Huawei can produce the Kirin 9000s chip at a slightly higher cost, it may reduce its purchase of some of its higher-end chips from Qualcomm next year.
