SMIC, the Chinese fab of choice, can't produce the Kirin chips, yet. But it's surely only a matter of time before it can, though this may take a couple of years. But Huawei isn't making the handsets with the kind of margins that Apple has, so it can afford to sit this out for a couple of years, or maybe only months. In the meantime it will continue to make money with mobile network deployments around the world.

But the trade spat is simply encouraging China to become less dependent upon US-controlled technology, surely not a good thing for the US in the future.
