According to an analysis by UBS and Japanese technology firm Fomalhaut Techno Solutions, seen by the Wall Street Journal, Huawei 5G phones had no US parts.

“When Huawei came out with this high-end phone – and this is its flagship – with no US content, that made a pretty big statement,” Susquehanna International Group semiconductor analyst Christopher Rolland told the Journal, RT reported.

International Business Strategies’ Handel Jones said that “independence of US supply indicates that the strategies of the US to trying to isolate Huawei are not working.”

Huawei and 68 of its affiliates were placed on the US Entity List in May after being accused by the Trump administration of spying for China. Both Beijing and Huawei have denied all the accusations. Washington’s ban meant the company would have to seek permission to purchase any American components it needed to manufacture its products.

Later, the US Commerce Department eased some of the restrictions until August, allowing Huawei to maintain and update existing networks and handsets. It has since been granted two more extensions.

According to the UBS-Fomalhaut report, since May Huawei had added a number of non-US suppliers and used components from companies based in other countries.
The Fomalhaut analysis showed that the company had cut down its reliance on American suppliers in smartphones launched after May, including the Y9 Prime and Mate devices. The report said that the Mate devices contained chips made by Dutch NXP Semiconductors as replacements for those made by US firm Cirrus Logic.

The move away from American parts extends beyond cell phone production, according to the report.

“All of our 5G is now America-free,” Huawei cybersecurity official John Suffolk told the WSJ. “We would like to continue using American components. It’s good for American industry. It’s good for Huawei. That has been taken out of our hands.”

The figure is stated according to a survey conducted by the Statistical Center of Iran in the past Iranian calendar year 1396 (ended on March 20, 2018).

“However we can consider this figure as an opportunity,” he said during a meeting held on children and cyberspace at the ICT Ministry on Wednesday.

All Iranian and foreign software and applications have some limitation for different age ranges in their setting, however many parents are unaware of it, he lamented.

No organization is responsible for development of cyberspace services for children. The Ministry of Education is responsible for children above six however only 13 percent of kids go to kindergarten below that age, he explained.

Hence the parents should be informed about children psychology and training, he lamented.

He said that there is very small appropriate content for Iranian children in cyberspace.

Iran Computer and Video Games Foundation has published a guideline for different computer games for children however most of the parents are unaware of it, he explained.

Investment on IT, information and services for children is one of the most beneficial ones, which can attract Iranian as well as foreigner investors, he explained.

Deputy education minister for training Alireza Kazemi announced in December 2018 that about 20 million internet users out of 56 million users are below 18 in Iran.

People spends from 20 to 80 hours per week in cyberspace, which change sleeping time and encounter them to unnecessary information and issues, he said.

In mid-November, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Ministry announced that it plans to introduce parental control applications in the near future.

According to a survey conducted by the ICT Ministry, only eight percent of Iranian parents monitor their children’s online activity.

The survey revealed that Iran is not very successful in content creation for children and to control children’s online activity.
