Japan's big three telecom operators plan not to use current equipment and upcoming fifth-generation (5G) gear from China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd and ZTE Corp, Kyodo News reported on Monday.

The news, for which Kyodo did not cite sources, comes at a time of heightened scrutiny of Chinese tech firms by Washington and some prominent allies over ties to the Chinese government, driven by concerns they could be used by Beijing for spying.

Japan's top 3 telcos to exclude Huawei, ZTE network equipment: Report

Last week sources told Reuters that Japan planned to ban government purchases of equipment from Huawei and ZTE to ensure strength in its defences against intelligence leaks and cyber attacks.

SoftBank Group Corp spokesman said Japan's third-largest telco was closely watching government policy and is continuing to consider its options. The amount of equipment in use from Chinese makers "is relatively small", he said.

The country's top two telecommunications operators, NTT Docomo Inc and KDDI Corp, said the firms had not made any decision yet.

Docomo does not use Huawei or ZTE network equipment, but it has partnered with Huawei on 5G trials. KDDI also does not use Huawei equipment in its "core" network, a spokeswoman said, adding it does not use any ZTE network equipment.

Huawei did not respond to Reuters request for comment, while ZTE declined to comment.

Huawei has already been locked out of the U.S. market, and Australia and New Zealand have blocked it from building 5G networks amid concerns of its possible links with China's government. Huawei has said Beijing has no influence over it.

Japan's decision to keep it out would be another setback for Huawei, whose chief financial officer was recently arrested by Canadian officials for extradition to the United States.

World financial markets have been roiled since news of the arrest, on worries it could reignite a Sino-U.S. trade row that was only just showing signs of easing.

Shares of SoftBank, which has the deepest relationship with Huawei among the big Japanese telcos, fell the most among the three top Japanese telcos on Monday, ending down 3.5 percent.

Industry sources said SoftBank would find it difficult to replace pre-existing Huawei network equipment that is designed for the company and not easily interchangable.

Docomo and KDDI shares fell around 1 percent, in a wider market that closed down 2 percent.

Earlier, SoftBank's Japanese telecoms unit priced its IPO at an indicated 1,500 yen ($13.31) per share and said it will sell an extra 160 million shares to meet solid demand, raising about $23.5 billion in Japan's biggest-ever IPO.

Industry Insiders Report Huawei’s Target of Shipping 100 Million Smartphones Next Year
  According to IJIWEI’s report, industry insiders reveal that Huawei has set a goal of shipping 100 million smartphones next year. This target represents a 40% increase over earlier predictions, as various market research firms had previously estimated Huawei’s smartphone shipments for the next year to be around 70 million units.  Huawei’s aggressive sales plan for the upcoming year is propelled by the favorable reception of its recently launched flagship smartphone series, the Mate 60. By the end of this year, Huawei aims to have shipped approximately 20 million units of the Mate 60 series, contributing to the projected annual smartphone shipments ranging between 40 million and 50 million units. This surpasses the previous year’s shipments of 30 million units by 30 to 70%.  With the growing shipment volumes, the supply of Huawei Mate 60 series smartphones featuring organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels has also seen an increase recently, with suppliers ramping up their production rates.  The Huawei Mate 60 series has become a much-anticipated success in the consumer electronics market. During the Huawei Autumn Full-Scene New Product Launch event, Huawei’s Terminal BG CEO and Chairman of the Intelligent Automotive Solution BU, Richard Yu, expressed his delight with the positive response to the “Pioneer Program” products.  Huawei is currently working around the clock to meet the surging demand for its products. The “Pioneer Program” includes the Mate 60 Pro, Mate 60 Pro+, and the foldable Mate X5.  Several supply chain sources and analysts have indicated that since earlier this year, Huawei has been steadily increasing its stock of components such as lenses, cameras, printed circuit boards, and various other parts to meet its shipment targets. Huawei has also requested that its sole 4G mobile chip supplier in the U.S., Qualcomm, deliver the full-year orders before June.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro: Revealing the 46 Chinese Suppliers Behind It
  Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro made an unconventional move by going on sale without a formal launch event, sparking intense discussions in the smartphone market. The most hotly debated topic revolves around how Huawei managed to overcome U.S. restrictions to create the Kirin 9000s chipset. However, another intriguing aspect of the Mate 60 Pro is its supply chain. According to Chinese media reports, the Mate 60 series is the smartphone with the highest domestic sourcing rate in China. The entire device is the result of collaborative efforts from 46 suppliers working together.  According to reports from “Cailian Press,” the most significant surprise brought by the Huawei Mate 60 series is not just in its chipset processor or new communication solutions. It lies in the fact that the entire smartphone was created in collaboration with 46 Chinese suppliers, demonstrating China’s full capability to autonomously produce smartphones.  Cailian Press also compiled a list of the supply companies involved in the Mate 60 series:  Mechanical Parts:  NBTM New Materials Group  Furong Technology  Chitwing.

U.S. Lawmakers Propose Ban on Chip Sales to Huawei, ZTE
  A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has introduced legislation which would ban the export of U.S. chips and other components to Chinese telecommunications companies Huawei and ZTE for violating U.S. export control laws.  The Telecommunications Denial Order Enforcement Act — sponsored by Senators Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) and Representatives Mike Gallagher (R-Wisconsin) and Ruben Gallego (D-Arizona) — would direct the U.S. President to impose penalties pursuant to denial orders on Chinese telecommunications companies that are in violation of the export control or sanctions laws of the U.S., among other purposes.  The U.S. Commerce Det. issued a denial order banning the sale of components to ZTE last year, following a four-year investigation into ZTE's failure to comply with U.S. export control laws banning sales to Iran. The order was rescinded in June at the direction of U.S. President Donald Trump — who said it would result in too many Chinese job losses — in the midst of trade negotiations between the U.S. and China.  Last month, Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada at the request of U.S. prosecutors on charges of violating U.S. sanctions.  "Huawei is effectively an intelligence-gathering arm of the Chinese Communist Party whose founder and CEO was an engineer for the People's Liberation Army," Cotton said in a statement.  Cotton added that if Chinese companies like Huawei violate U.S. sanctions or export control laws, "they should receive nothing less than the death penalty — which this denial order would provide."  "Huawei and ZTE are two sides of the same coin," Senator Van Hollen said. "Both companies have repeatedly violated U.S. laws, represent a significant risk to American national security interests, and need to be held accountable."  The bill's introduction comes at a time of high trade tensions between the U.S. and China, with both sides imposing tariffs on products imported from the other. The Trump Administration continues to negotiate with China on a long term trade deal that would presumably end the trade war, but so far no agreement has been produced.  On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump Administration officials are debating the relaxation or removal of some tariffs against Chinese products in an effort to aid the trade talks between the two countries.  Also Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. federal prosecutors are investigating whether Huawei stole trade secrets from U.S. business partners, including T-Mobile.
