Huawei is finding itself in even more of a pickle.
Chipmakers Intel, Qualcomm, Xilinx, and Broadcom have told employees to stop supplying to Huawei until further notice, according to Bloomberg, which cited anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
In another Bloomberg report, Huawei is said to have prepared for a ban by stockpiling chips and other essential components which will allow it to keep running for three months.
The company has reportedly been preparing for a potential supply freeze since the middle of 2018, while designing its own chips to go into phones, laptops, and networking products.

The license cut-off means that Huawei would only have access to the open source version of Android (or AOSP, for Android Open Source Project), a limited version of the mobile operating system.
The South China Morning Postreported back in April that Huawei has been developing its own smartphone, tablet, and personal computer operating systems, which would serve as an alternative to the likes of Windows and Android.
Intel offered no comment when asked by Mashable if it had stopped supplying to Huawei.
A Xilinx spokesperson told Mashable: "We are aware of the Denial Order issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce with respect to Huawei, and we are cooperating. We have no additional information to share at this time."
Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Huawei have also been contacted for further comment.
UPDATE: May 20, 2019, 9:04 p.m. AEST Added statement from Xilinx.
