Huawei will keep moving forward with high-end smartphones using Kirin chips, probably there may be a small gap/pause of about 3-4 months, who knows, but they have Solutions,
"Guo Ping further said that the crackdown on Kirin chips will create some difficulties for the high-end mobile phone business, but believes it can be resolved.

When are they releasing the next version of the Huawei Mate series phablets? It would be nice to get hold of one of these.
Good news. Good news. But they need to expand this past just the chip sector to all basic research.
Xiang also noted that while Chinese chip manufacturers don't currently produce high-end 5nm or 7nm chips, it does not mean they won't be able to manufacture them in the future.
According to Xiang, a couple of Chinese companies are already producing 14nm chips which are often used in medium-level mobile phones.
"The reason they don't produce the high-end 5nm or 7nm chips is likely due to customer shortage, not a technological gap. Of course, they need to invest a lot of capital to upgrade their existing technologies but it's not like a mission impossible for Chinese chipmakers," Xiang said, predicting that Huawei might resort to Chinese suppliers in the face of the US crackdown.

The most worrying scenario for Huawei is that it will need China to stand-up a silicon supply chain non-reliant on any U.S. tech—this will take years and Huawei won’t retain its current form until then. Its smartphone business will be irrevocably changed, its 5G business materially damaged. For its part, Huawei now that it intends to invest in its own HiSilicon chipset development business to create a non-U.S. capacity of its own, within a few years from now.
Huawei analyst Dave Burstein suggests that, in reality, a Chinese chip maker will supply Huawei, regardless of American sanctions. “I think it highly unlikely the U.S. can prohibit a Chinese foundry from selling to a Chinese company in China,” “I’d expect any rational American regime to avoid raising the issue.” Given the level of those chipsets, this might fix its larger equipment issue, but not its smartphones.

Trump is now threatening to blacklist SMIC. So behind the scene, he may use the threat as a bargaining chip to force CCP to sell ticktok for cheap.
