In an statement, Panasonic said it had announced in an “internal notification” that it would “suspend transactions with Huawei and its 68 affiliates that were banned by the US government”.Asked about its opinion about the news, Huawei pointed to a statement on Panasonic’s Chinese website that said the firm was supplying Huawei “normally” and doing so “strictly abiding by the relevant laws and regulations of countries and regions where Panasonic is present”.
Last week, Donald Trump declared a national emergency to bar US companies from using foreign telecoms equipment deemed a security risk. And on Wednesday, mobile carriers in Japan and Britain said they were delaying releases of Huawei handsets. The delay would last “until we get the information and confidence and the long-term security that our customers … are going to be supported”, he said.
