Japan’s Sony and its memory chipmaker Kioxia Holdings have pleaded with US to continue supplying Huawei products, Report says.
The move by Sony comes after other tech companies such as Intel Corp, recently received licences from US authorities to import Huawei Products.
Recall over the past few months, Washington has been pushing governments around to world to squeeze out Huawei, arguing that the telecoms giant would transfer data to the Chinese government for monitoring.
Huawei is one of the top customers for Sony’s image sensors for smartphones. Kioxia Holdings is the world’s No. 2 maker of flash memory chips and a Huawei supplier.
Sources say that without US licenses, Sony and Kioxia would face risk to their earnings. They warned that US curbs on Huawei could trigger memory chip oversupply.
