According to Reuters, the US government is trying to give more weight to its famous blacklist that aims to block the business of the Chinese giant Huawei.
As you know, last May, the US Department of Commerce has banned Huawei Technologies, citing issues of national security. This action allowed the US government to limit collaboration between US companies and the Chinese group.
However, in line with current regulations, key foreign partners and supply chains have remained out of reach of US authorities. Such as the ARM group that supplies chips to Huawei HiSilicon.
Donald Trump seeks to amend two key rules to block Huawei
Gizchina News of the week
The administration of President Donald Trump is now looking to make changes to two key rules that could expand US power to block foreign suppliers from working with Huawei.
If the Commerce Department makes the proposed rule changes. It will allow US authorities to regulate the sale of non-sensitive components. Such as smartphone chips, manufactured abroad with American proprietary technology, software, or components.
The changes would represent “a major expansion of the reach of U.S. export controls and would be poorly received by U.S. allies and U.S. companies,”. Said Washington trade lawyer Doug Jacobson.
As a reminder, the United States has renewed for a third time the temporary general license granted to Huawei. Allowing it to engage in limited transactions to ensure the maintenance of US rural network operators. They also lifted the embargo for Microsoft, as well as another 74 licenses. Which allows Huawei to access Windows 10 licenses for its laptops.
They will try . But before that they are losing control of themselves.
No, but we do have a problem with the People’s Republic of China using Huawei to be able to not only spy on cell phone users, but also have the ability to shutdown cell phone networks anywhere and at any time they want. To the extent that companies in the United States are helping China take over worldwide telecom networks, the U.S. government is using its power to stop U.S. firms from help China in their spying. Huawei and the government of China have been regularly stealing the intellectual property (IP) of companies in the U.S. and Europe. It is easier to sell less expensive products if you have stolen designs from other firms rather than paying patent fees to the designers or doing the design work yourself.
Industrial espionage has been going on since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Our patents in this country do not extend to the rest of the world. We need to reach an agreement with China to respect our patents so we can capitalize on the largest market on the planet.
