This is, in my opinion, a bigger threat to Intel's DC business than Power, Ampere, Cavium, etc. The chinese government is certainly going to back Huawei big time and this could be a game changer in a few years, especially with TSMC doing so well.
It surely takes much more than a fast processor to win DC business, so not an immediate threat.
Huawei currently has the second fastest mobile ARM SoC (Kirin 980) after Apple. Sure, a mobile processor and a server processor are very different beasts, but I believe they will have enough backing from Chinese government which certainly wants alternatives to American silicon.
