Qualcomm | November 17, 2020
The U.S. government has at long last backed off on Chinese cell phone producer, Huawei. The nation has permitted American chipset producer Qualcomm to sell 4G cell phone chips to Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. This is the primary exclusion made by the US government since the expanding pressures between the two nations.

Industry investigators trust Huawei's store of chips bought before the boycott could run out ahead of schedule one year from now, devastating its cell phone business.
