Today, Huawei has finally issued their official statement regarding the issue.

Huawei's Official Statement Regarding its Business Collaboration with ARM

After the US Department of Commerce announced its decision to add Huawei to its Entity List, our production and supply chains have been complying with all applicable laws and regulations, and everything remains business as usual.

At the moment, our supplier ARM is reviewing and evaluating the impact of the Commerce Department's decision, and is actively communicating with the US government. We completely understand and support them.

Recently, many of our partners have chosen to stick with us and weather this storm together. We are immensely grateful for this. Moving forward, Huawei will continue working with our partners to protect the interests of our customers and consumers around the globe, maintain order in the market, and ensure the healthy development of our industry.

Based on Huawei's statement, they are complying with all applicable laws and everything remains business as usual. The tech giant also said that many of their partners have chosen to stick with them to weather the storm together.

Huawei also said that they will continue to work with their partners around the globe to protect the interest of their customers and ensure healthy industry development.

But at the moment, ARM is still reviewing and evaluating the impact of US's decision.

Fortunately, a February 2019 report from China stated that Huawei has obtained a permanent license for ARMv8 architecture. ARM8 is the 32/64-bit instruction set of ARM.
