Recent US government sanctions have disrupted the supply of chips for Huawei. However, it seems that the company has already prepared in advance.

The company's financial results recently revealed that it invested 167,7 billion Chinese yuan ($ 23,45 billion) in stocks of chips, components and other components in 2019 last year. This is a significant jump of up to 73 percent compared to 2018.
