Huawei has already faced various sanctions from the US government over the last couple of years. But it appears that the restrictions from the Biden administration might be getting even tighter around the company.
As of right now, the Chinese tech giant has US export restrictions around current gen and core technologies like 5G. Although, the US Department of Commerce had recently began granting licenses to some America based firms to sell certain products and technologies to the company. Back in 2020, Qualcomm was allowed to sell 4G enabled smartphones chips to Huawei. But now, it appears that this might soon be reversed.
A Commerce Department spokesperson has stated that officials are “continually assess our policies and regulations”. It appears that some officials in the Biden administration are pushing for ban on all sales to the company, which has long been rumored to have ties with the Chinese government, and by its extensions, the Chinese military as well. This news also arrives as the tensions between the US and China has been on the rise, as the former looks to hamper the latter’s advances in the tech field.
In response to this, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that Beijing “is gravely concerned about the report”. He further added that “China is strongly against the US’s abuse of state power to hobble Chinese companies by stretching the concept of national security”. It remains to be seen when and how these tougher restrictions would be implemented, so stick around for more updates regarding this matter.
