Huawei turns to Japan for parts

The world’s largest telecom equipment maker is also deepening its ties with European companies.

Beijing: Japan is likely to surpass the United States as the largest supplier for Huawei Technologies Co, as the Chinese tech giant scrambles to deepen partnership with other global suppliers amid US government restrictions.

Meanwhile, Huawei is also ratcheting up efforts to buy more components and technologies from European suppliers, so as to reduce reliance on US technologies and deepen its multi-vendor strategy to ensure sustainability in business development.
