American delivery firm FedEx Corp likely withheld more than 100 packages of Huawei, a report said, while the Chinese tech giant also blamed US-listed Flex for seizing its goods, as <a href="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-uds-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;q=https://www.wionews.com/world/trade-war-like-the-one-going-on-between-us-and-china-foolish-thailand-ambassador-at-wion-world-order-238434&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiSs4rItdLjAhXc7nMBHeV6DwEQFjADegQIDhAC&amp;usg=AOvVaw1bWJVe7haDQEfv7LLORLbL">Sino-US tensions</a> further strain business ties.

Chinese authorities investigating FedEx suspect it illegally held back the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-uds-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;q=https://www.wionews.com/world/huaweis-us-research-arm-slashes-jobs-as-trade-ban-bites-238136&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj___zltdLjAhWxheYKHVCHA3kQFjADegQIDxAC&amp;usg=AOvVaw3sBVXlXmuPglcgQ-qhcuOx">Huawei</a> packages and that it also violated other laws, state news agency Xinhua reported on Friday.

Beijing started a probe into FedEx last month after Huawei said the US&nbsp;delivery firm had diverted parcels intended for it. It came after Huawei was placed by Washington on a blacklist in mid-May that effectively blocks US firms from doing business with the Shenzhen-based telecoms equipment maker.

"The investigation showed that FedEx was suspected of holding up more than 100 Huawei packages entering China," Xinhua said. "Investigators also discovered clues to other violations of the company."

FedEx had no immediate comment on the report. Huawei declined to comment.

The report comes a day after Huawei said electronics contract manufacturer Flex "seized" its goods in China.

The developments mark the latest fallout from Washington's trade ban on Huawei, which has not only rattled the global technology supply chain tied to Huawei's $105 billion business but also is causing much confusion among companies and organisations well beyond the US borders regarding the limits of restrictions.

FedEx has apologised for multiple incidents of diversion of Huawei packages, which is attributed to "operational errors", but it later sued the US&nbsp;government for what it said was an "impossible task" to "police the contents" of export shipments.

Huawei told Reuters on Thursday that Flex had withheld some 700 million yuan ($101.81 million) worth of its goods in its China factory, confirming a report by the Chinese government-backed newspaper Global Times.

Flex kept the Huawei assets in its factory in the southern city of Zhuhai after the US blacklisting and caused losses for Huawei, according to the report.

Huawei told Reuters that it has retrieved some 400 million yuan of goods last month after negotiations and is still trying to take back the rest.

Flex said in an emailed statement to Reuters, "Flex and Huawei have had a long-standing and successful partnership which has recently been impacted by unforeseen challenges resulting from the US-China trade situation. Both parties are actively working to find a mutually agreeable way forward given these facts."

A Flex spokesman declined to say whether it still held any Huawei assets or counts Huawei as a customer, but said China remains "a very important center of production and end-market" where it employs tens of thousands of people.

Flex said on Friday in its quarterly earnings statement that it would accelerate a move to reduce its exposure to certain products in China and India after "recent geopolitical developments and uncertainties", which primarily impacted "one customer in China". It did not name the customer.

"We have seen a reduction in demand for products assembled for that customer," it said.

Defending champion Julia Goerges suffered a bruising defeat to Anett Kontaveit at the WTA Elite Trophy in China on Wednesday.&nbsp;

The fifth seed took a nasty tumble mid-way through the match, which she went on to lose 2-6, 6-4, 4-6 after more than two hours.&nbsp;

Kontaveit, the tournament tenth seed, started brightly, breaking the world no. 14 three times to take the opening set.

Goerges, 29, fell heavily on to the hard court in the sixth game of the second set, and needed to ice her right leg during the changeover.

Clearly slightly rattled, the German nevertheless dug deep to claim the set, pumping her fist and gesturing to her coach as she celebrated.

However, it was the 22-year-old Estonian Kontaveit who won the decider at the Hengqin International Tennis Center.

World no. 20 Kontaveit has now played both her round robin matches, after losing on Tuesday to Belgium's Elise Mertens, who will play Goerges later in the tournament.

Now in its fourth year the Elite Trophy features 12 players ranked roughly from nine to 20. This year's total prize money is $2.35 million across the singles and doubles tournaments.

Kontaveit downs defending champion Julia Goerges in Zhuhai

Sloane Stephens was pummelled by Anastasija Sevastova at the WTA Elite Trophy in Zhuhai on Wednesday, her third successive defeat since winning the US Open.

The American seeded third in the tournament was beaten by the Latvian fifth seed in two straight sets 7-5, 6-3 in one hour and 28 minutes at the Hengqin International Tennis Centre.

Stephens, 24, was a first-round loser at the Wuhan Open and the China Open in Beijing before pulling out of Hong Kong, but insisted Monday she wasn`t feeling under pressure.

&quot;I don`t think I played terribly,&quot; she said of Wednesday`s match.

&quot;I was happy to be playing better than my last matches, so that`s a good thing.&quot;

French top seed Kristina Mladenovic was also defeated Wednesday by Slovakia`s number one Magdalena Rybarikova 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (7/5), in a tight match that saw Rybarikova squander six match points before finally sealing her victory.

Twenty-four-year-old Mladenovic, ranked at a career-high number 10, still has a chance to qualify for the semis but Rybarikova was confirmed out late Wednesday given the round robin format.

&quot;(There were) ups and downs from my side, but... there`s a lot of things to take out from this match, lots of positives,&quot; Mladenovic told journalists.

But her first-match loss in Zhuhai also follows a recent poor run, including an upset by Croatian Jana Fett at the Japan Women`s Open in September, where she was again top seed.

Earlier in the season, she reached the semi-finals at Indian Wells -- a result which saw her break into the world top 20 for the first time, temporarily overtaking Caroline Garcia as French number one.

&quot;(It was) a pretty unique season,&quot; she said.

&quot;The second part is dramatic, is terrible. The first part is also dramatic but in a positive way.&quot;

Despite &quot;the tricky journey&quot;, the French number two said she had improved a lot.

Separately, the tournament`s youngest player and ninth seed Ashleigh Barty cruised to victory over Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in just one hour and 11 minutes, firing nine aces for a 6-4, 6-1 triumph.

The 21-year-old, who began the year ranked outside the top 300, made the final in Wuhan and recently became Australia`s top player.

&quot;I feel like I`m playing really well this whole year,&quot; she told media, adding that she wants to finish &quot;strong&quot;.

On Thursday she faces German Angelique Kerber who she met in Brisbane at the start of the season. Kerber, then world number one, survived a big scare from the Australian wildcard entry.

&quot;I think I`m in a bit of a different position than I was in January when we played against each other,&quot; Barty, now ranked 20 in the world, said.

Tennis: US open champ Stephens suffers fresh Asian defeat

US&nbsp;Open champion Sloane Stephens is determined to end the season on a positive note at the WTA Elite Trophy in Zhuhai, China after failing to win a match since her shock victory at Flushing Meadows.

The 24-year-old American stunned the sport in September when in her first grand slam final she became the lowest-ranked woman (83) to win the U.S. Open singles title.

However, despite her impressive triumph and surge up the world rankings she suffered first-round defeats at the Wuhan Open and the China Open in Beijing before pulling out of the Hong Kong Open earlier this month.

Stephens, who will play her first round-robin event at this week&#39;s Elite Trophy, blamed her recent defeats on a lack of preparation.

&quot;I&#39;d say winning the US&nbsp;Open isn&#39;t the best preparation to go play two tournaments right after,&quot; she told a news conference on Monday.

&quot;But I had to get out there and play because it was on my schedule. Before winning the U.S. Open, having those good results, I was basically trying to get into the Australian Open. These tournaments were really necessary for me to play.&quot;

Stephens, seeded third, is placed at the top of the Camellia Group alongside Latvian Anastasija Sevastova and Barbora Strycova of Czech Republic.

Angelique Kerber, who clinched both Australian and US&nbsp;Open titles last year, said the Elite Trophy will allow her to lay a foundation for a fresh start in 2018.

&quot;I&#39;m trying to look ahead and trying to end the year as well as I can by putting everything on the court,&quot; said the 29-year-old German.

&quot;It&#39;s a tough tournament but it&#39;s an opportunity to get better, have good competition and maybe also going with a good feeling to next season.&quot;

Kerber was drawn in the Rose Group alongside fourth seed Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Ashleigh Barty of Australia.

The Elite Trophy features the world&#39;s top 12 singles players who did not qualify for the WTA Finals last week. The round-robin format will see the winners from each of the four groups advance to the semi-finals.
