Huawei is working on plans for a special chip factory in Shanghai that will not use American technology to ensure that its core business is supplied with telecommunications infrastructures despite US sanctions.

Two people briefed on the project said the facility is operated by a partner, Shanghai IC R&D Center, a chip research company supported by the Shanghai city government.

Industry experts said the project could help Huawei, which has no experience making chips, find a way to long-term survival.

The US export controls imposed in May and tightened in August use the dominance of American companies in certain chip manufacturing devices and chip design software to block Huawei’s semiconductor supply. (FT)
