Pompeo says US to impose visa curbs on Huawei over rights
WASHINGTON – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo took fresh aim at China on Wednesday, saying the United States would impose visa restrictions on Chinese firms like Huawei Technologies Co Ltd that he accused of facilitating human-rights violations.
Pompeo told a news conference the State Department would “impose visa restrictions on certain employees of Chinese technology companies like Huawei that provide material support to regimes engaging in human-rights violations and abuses globally.” “Whether it is TikTok or any of the other Chinese communications platforms, apps, infrastructure, this administration is taking seriously the requirement to protect the American people from having their information end up in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.”
Asked about Pompeo’s remarks, a Huawei spokeswoman said: “We are looking into this and will share the statement once we have one.”
