US piles the pressure on Huawei
Huawei has faced US export restrictions around items for 5G and other technologies for several years, but officials in the US department of commerce have granted licences for some American firms to sell certain goods and technologies to the company.A commerce department spokesman said officials “continually assess our policies and regulations” but do not comment on talks with specific companies. Huawei and Qualcomm declined to comment. Bloomberg and the Financial Times earlier reported the move.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Mao Ning said that China opposes the US abusing an overly broad notion of national security to suppress Chinese firms unreasonably. One person familiar with the matter said US officials are creating a new formal policy of denial for shipping items to Huawei that would include items below the 5G level, including 4G items, Wi-Fi 6 and 7, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing and cloud items.
