The US Government add more restrictions on Huawei this Monday. From now, the Chinese technology giant can’t even access any technology produced by US companies. Along with it, the US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) enlisted 38 more Huawei affiliates to the Entity List, to restrict their businesses with US companies. The US Commerce Department stated, “These actions, effective immediately, prevent Huawei’s attempts to circumvent U.S. export controls to obtain electronic components developed or produced using U.S. technology”.
From now, instead of giving a temporary license, the department is giving limited authorization to Huawei so that it can maintain the US networks which are based on its requirements. Reports saying that any Huawei phones will not get Android updates any more reflecting its leave from the collaborations with US tech companies.
On the other hand, the US is also pressurizing other foreign companies, for example – Taiwan bases TSMC, to work with Huawei. This company can’t apply any US Technology to any foreign-made chips. The US State Department charged Huawei too, of “stealing U.S. technology, conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud, racketeering, and helping Iran to evade sanctions, amongst other charges”.
As a result of increasing the US-China tension, the Chinese firm Huawei recently announced to stop manufacturing their Kirin SoC, from next month, that generally powers its own smartphones and tablets. It’s “a huge loss for Huawei” no doubt – said the consumer business CEO Richard Yu.
