So Huawei is barred from buying from Skyworks unless it gets US govt approval. Who else can Huawei turn to for GaAs parts? Are the Japanese any good at producing GaAs parts? Anyway I am guessing Huawei can get approval for smartphone parts. Parts for 5G infrastructure would be more difficult to get approval for.

The ban on sales to Huawei will definitely benefit non-American companies. For example both Infineon and NXP make RF front end components for handsets and GaN transistors for basestations. For some parts Huawei can copy them and, if caught, pay a patent licensing fee. The Chinese are masters at spy and copy which is one of the reasons why Huawei got hit with this ban.

Qorvo, Analog Devices, Macom, NXP, Infineon, and some Japanese companies have GaN products available. Skyworks and Broadcom do not. That could put Skyworks at a disadvantage in some applications. For example some recent PR's from Qorvo: 06/04/2019 Qorvo GaN and GaAs Amplifiers Selected by Syrlinks for Space Applications 06/03/2019 Qorvo Adds New GaN Power Amplifiers for Mission-Critical Applications 06/03/2019 Qorvo Breaks Power Barrier with 10W Ka-Band GaN Amplifier

Skyworks Solutions has an 82.7% share of sales in China, which is definitely something you don’t want to see right now. Trade war forecasts are not looking good, it has a “Strong Sell” Zacks Rating, and insiders are selling (see SEC 10Q). Source: marketwatch.com

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Commerce will issue licenses to U.S. companies seeking to sell to Chinese telecoms equipment giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd where there is no threat to national security, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Tuesday. “To implement the president’s G20 summit directive two weeks ago, Commerce will issue licenses where there is no threat to U.S. national security,” Ross said, referring to the meeting of world leaders in Japan. “Within those confines, we will try to make sure that we don’t just transfer revenue from the U.S. to foreign firms,” he said. reuters.com

I'm beginning to think the supply channels of chip makers are very nimble and flexible. When Huawei can't make a product, there is another company that ramps up production and displaces Huawei. Same thing for laptops,desktops why should smartphones be any different? That giant sucking sound is the semi industry running out of China ASAP. Bob

5G smartphones with in-house developed processors tend to use RF parts from Skyworks and Qorvo. 5G smartphones with Qualcomm processors and modems tend to use Qualcomm RF parts. Qualcomm has been boasting about its RF front end design wins. That shows the importance of Huawei and Samsung to Skyworks and Qorvo, since these two Asian giants design their own processors and modems.
