Huawei is apparently stopping smartphone imports into Russia, according to TASS. This is after having already ceased imports of tablets, TVs and other tech.
Something something Russia-China trade statistics
That’s odd. I’d have guessed that they would be selling more tech. Do you know if they’ve given any explanation for this?
Not that I have seen. There were talks about this earlier this year, around spring and the motivation given was wanting to avoid USian sanctions - since USA sanctions not only countries themselves, but also those who want to trade with said countries. Could be that
Hm. I suppose Huawei isn’t as highly sanctioned as Russia, so there are a few countries they might become unable to trade with, but considering the aggression against China, at least some of their industries (non-essential things, such as consumer electronics) will probably be subject to the same sanctions in the not too distant future. I’d assume continued trade with Russia could make up for those losses, though
