Toshiba and Panasonic stop deliveries of certain products to Huawei
It is getting worse and worse for Huawei, the US embargo is hitting hard and from all sides. Next to Google, Microsoft, ARM, Qualcomm now Toshiba and Panasonic join the list as well. Toshiba and Panasonic halt supply of certain products due to the trade ban 'as a precaution'.
-- Nikkei --
TOKYO -- Japan's Toshiba said on Thursday that it had temporarily suspended shipments of electronic devices to Huawei Technologies, but resumed them that evening after ascertaining they did not breach U.S. sanctions against the Chinese telecom equipment maker. Toshiba rushed to check whether it was using any American parts or technologies in products that are sold on to Huawei, after Washington blacklisted the Chinese company. The Japanese conglomerate did not say which products from subsidiary Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage it had temporarily pulled from Huawei. But it is understood that the company has supplied hard-disk drives, discrete semiconductors and high-speed data processing system LSIs.
Toshiba and Huawei had been developing an internet-of-things project since 2017, but that ended in March this year.

Utterly true.
It now appears Trump is willing to 'compromise' but only in order to further re-balance trade with China...this whole mess due to an inability to remove a certain other hat he keeps wearing. What's disgusting about it all is just how many puppets were so keen to play a part, and how much rhetoric/hyperbole was to rear it's head.

Here's what I don't understand:
Why are so many non-American brands cutting off Huawei? I don't see why companies like SoftBank, Toshiba, and Panasonic couldn't work with Huawei without the US being involved at all. Companies like Google, MS, and Intel are more understandable.
Furthermore, why isn't every hardware supplier (who isn't Chinese) cutting them off, all at the same time?
Well, there might be evidence, but the public hasn't been shown any of it. But, I think people would be more on-board with all of this if they did publicize some of this info. So, I think you're right to be skeptical.

So... you still don't think that the US has had talks with the Japanese government? When the Japanese see the US as their closest ally in the pacific region, already scared by China's ambition in the seas around Japan, as well as a general North Korean threat? I am not surprised tbh.

What I find downright sad is that all of this is being done without a single shred of evidence
