ARM China is reportedly affected, too.Though the Trump administration will delay the ban for 90 days, ARM tells the BBC that that it won't be working with Huawei or any of its subsidiaries, such as Honor, even temporarily. That includes communication between ARM staff and Huawei; should ARM workers come into contact with Huawei employees, they must "politely decline and stop" business conversations."Although Huawei has been planning for restrictions from Google for some time now by developing its own operating system, there's a stark difference between changing software and changing hardware.Huawei's Kirin processors, which it uses in its range of flagship Android phones, rely on ARM's designs and Huawei pays a license to ARM to use them. Huawei reportedly has a three-month stockpile of chips so it can continue operating, but it unclear how the business will continue when that runs out.Chipmakers including Intel, Qualcomm, Xilinx, and Broadcom have also reportedly told their employees that they are not working with Huawei. Qualcomm provides the company's processors and modems, Intel supplies server chips, while Xilinx and Broadcom sells networking and switching chips, respectively.</blockquote>
