Huawei's suppliers unharmed by CFO's arrest, analyst says

The "unreasonable" treatment of Huawei Technologies Co by the United States won't harm the company's partnerships with suppliers, as a robust domestic market and its technological competitiveness will help it overcome challenges, an industry analyst said on Friday.

Wang Yanhui, secretary-general of the Mobile China Alliance, said US interference with the global telecom market is giving Huawei a hard time overseas, but the temporary difficulty, if properly handled, won't harm the company's long-term business.

"China has a huge domestic 5G market and its efforts to accelerate construction of a nationwide network will bring opportunities to Huawei," Wang said.
