Trump’s Huawei ban raises hopes for Chinese chip suppliers

SHANGHAI: Washington’s blacklisting of technology giant Huawei has taken a toll on U.S. semiconductor shares, but China-listed firms have rallied as investors bet they can gain from Beijing’s stepped-up efforts to build a homegrown supply chain.

Share price gains of little-known firms such as Shenzhen Fastprint Circuit Tech and Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology could be fleeting, analysts say, but Huawei’s troubles could accelerate a long-term campaign in China to replace imported technologies.
