There is no contradiction. The title, "Huawei Manages to Make Smartphones Without American Chips", is confirmed by the content of the article, including a quote by an analyst: “When Huawei came out with this high-end phone—and this is its flagship—with no U.S. content, that made a pretty big statement.”

The title didn't claim that Huawei, for all of its phones, had not used any American chip. It claimed that some of its new phones don't use any.

Your claim that "it's (sic) graph shows significant usage of US chips" is wrong. The table shows that for every component that was built by an American firm, they have a non-American alternative. Sometimes American providers are still listed, but the table is not quantitative, so the American chips part still used may be lower than 5%, for all we know after reading this.
