Taiwan has suspended sales of three Huawei smartphone models that identify Taiwan as part of China, saying it impairs Taiwan’s ‘national dignity’

Taipei — Taiwan suspended sales of three Huawei Technologies smartphone models that identify Taiwan as part of China, striking a fresh blow in a long-running conflict over references to sovereignty.

The halt adds Huawei to the list of global brands, from Coach and Givenchy to JPMorgan, that have had to respond to the sovereignty dispute between separately governed Taiwan and China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory. The two fashion brands, owned by companies in the US and France, apologised to China’s government after offering T-shirts that identified Taiwan as a country.

Earlier this month, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing said it would continue making chips for Huawei, after the government denied a report that Washington asked it to lean on the semi-conductor giant to suspend business with its second-largest customer.
