The US government will stop granting export licenses to companies dealing with China-based Huawei and its subsidiaries. This would effectively eliminate the telecommunications giant without US technology, he said. financial times.
From 2019 to 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce will add Huawei and nearly all of its subsidiaries to its entity list to reduce its ability to manufacture new products with U.S. technology and to limit such technology to Huawei. It began to require exporting companies to obtain an export license. However, these licenses are actually granted and how Huawei and its affiliates obtained products containing technology originating in the United States.
Huawei and its subsidiaries have been unable to acquire the truly advanced technologies needed for things like 5G networks. However, the company was able to get the chips and communications gear needed for a variety of consumer electronics (including smartphones and his PC), which kept the company alive.
But according to the Financial Times, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) recently notified these companies that they would not be granted licenses to export U.S. technology to Huawei, so this could soon come. will change to BIS Director Alan Estevez is currently reviewing China-related licensing policies to understand the next steps the United States should take.

Other recent US government actions include further restrictions on exports of wafer fab equipment (WFE) to China. To prevent companies like SMIC from accessing advanced fab tools, the US has struck pacts with Japan and the Netherlands to restrict exports by companies like ASML, Canon, Nikon, and Tokyo Electron. Some believe that this will accelerate the development of China’s own wafer fabrication technology, but without US-developed technology, that would be particularly difficult to do.
