The sound of defeat and desperation. Banning intel chips for Mate laptop and 4G chips for smartphones are basically useless move. It won't hurt Huawei. If it needed, Huawei can stockpile some intel chips as laptops upgrade cycle is very slow.
To be fair, this is likely an intimidation US warning shot about banning more tech and chips from other Chinese consumer companies.
Even though the China-hating countries may be too dumb to realize it, there needs to be a US independent source for hi tech/cpu otherwise one's countrie independence will always be compromise.
