CEO of Huawei’s consumer division, Richard Yu AKA Yu Chengdong told CNBC that the firm had originally planned to launch its new Matebook series products without giving a date, but it had been indefinitely put on hold.

In May, the US Commerce Department added Huawei and its affiliates to the “Entity List” or simply called a trade blacklist – an action that bans Huawei from buying components and software from American firms.

Yu told that “We cannot supply the PC” because the situation is “Unfortunate”. He also said that if Huawei is on the blacklist for a long time, the laptop won’t be able to be launched.
