President Donald Trump’s administration in May put Huawei on a blacklist that barred it from doing business with US tech companies such as Alphabet, whose Android OS is used in Huawei's phones. Williamson said that if trade tensions escalate into a full-blown trade war, Hongmeng would be ready to go “in months”.
Williamson said chipmakers knew that cutting off Huawei could have catastrophic consequences for their business.
