This may be just the "visible layer" of Huawei's sanctions-evasion strategy, says Jeremy Chang @TaiwanDset. The invisible ones are designed to skirt U.S. controls. "There are thousands of such companies...many don't even have websites. You have to dig very deep to find clues."

Coincidentally, much of it unfolds in Suzhou Industrial Park, where Xi visited in 2023, calling it a "City of Innovation" and declaring "technological self-reliance" essential to China's future as a global power.

We found at least 6 firms following the same playbook 👇 → Huawei invests (often via Hubble) → Add Huawei execs to its boards → File for Shanghai IPO → Keep the biggest customer unnamed → Raise capital for expansion, sometimes continue U.S. sourcing

A few months ago, we stumbled on a puzzle: why would a 🇨🇳 chip supplier conceal its biggest customer? Tracing semiconductor IPOs since 2019, a pattern emerged. Behind one anonymous client after another, the same name kept surfacing: Huawei.

NEW: The Biggest Client No One Names: How Huawei Lurks Behind China’s Chip IPOs Six years after U.S. restrictions first hit, our investigation reveals Huawei's "spare tire" plan quietly coming to life. Read the full story in the Brief (@KharonData): https://t.co/pYEBhK8Uo4

Huawei had activated what it called a “spare tire” plan for an independent supply chain after U.S. measures hit it in 2019. Kharon’s findings appear to show its shadow supply chain in action with a cluster of publicly traded chip suppliers, six years later:

Thanks to @FT for the chance to write about last week's forum in Lianyungang, where China is positioning itself as a global security leader by marketing itself as the safest country in the world (& the US as...not that): https://t.co/GOGvMAzDYw

I'm delighted to announce that the culmination of 8 months of the ASPI China team's work has now launched! We have spent months greatly expanding the scope and depth of ASPI's hugely popular product, the China Defence Universities Tracker. Here's what's new:

DHS CISA uncovered backdoors in PRC-made medical devices too.

Of the three companies identified, one—Sichuan Juxinhe—was sanctioned by @USTreasury earlier this year. The other two, Sichuan Zhixin Ruijie & Beijing Huanyu Tianqiong, are being tied to global hacking operations for the first time. Officials offered names, but little else.
