Huawei’s Yu Chengdong Says Firm Has Largely Ended Reliance on US Technology

Yu Chengdong's claim is a political and supply-chain signal as much as a product update: it suggests Huawei now positions its consumer business, including foldables and HarmonyOS, as viable without US inputs. The audience is not just phone buyers but component suppliers, developers weighing HarmonyOS, and policymakers watching export controls. The open question is whether that independence holds at scale, and whether HarmonyOS can attract enough third-party support to matter outside China.
