[ad_1] The move would be prompted by complications surrounding Huawei’s presence on the Commerce Department’s Entities List, which bars US companies from doing business with a given firm unless there’s explicit approval. Futurewei staff have been restricted when communicating with Huawei’s Chinese offices, according to the tipsters, since their work might be considered US technology […]

Research group says America’s favorite TV size is now 65 inches
[ad_1] One main reason for that seemingly odd trend is that manufacturers hoarded vast inventories of TVs ahead of a planned 25 percent tariff on Chinese products. However, the US and China cooled their trade war somewhat after a meeting between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping at G20, with Trump confirming the US […]
AMD denies improperly sharing CPU tech with China
[ad_1] The company claimed that it “diligently and proactively” told the Commerce and Defense Departments (plus other agencies) about the Sugon deal, and that there were “no objections whatsoever” to either the joint ventures or the technology handover. AMD further argued that the report left out vital details, such as the “significant protections” put in […]
Trump to lift some restrictions on Huawei as part of China truce
[ad_1] The change of heart leaves Huawei highly restricted. It’s still on the Commerce Department’s Entities List, preventing it doing business with US companies unless there’s explicit government approval. Trump said the US would decide on removing Huawei from the list later, and noted that there was a meeting to discuss the subject on July […]
China’s supercomputers are the latest target in US trade war
[ad_1] The Commerce Department has reportedly issued export restrictions that cut five major Chinese supercomputer developers off from US technology. According to the new rule, the firms have been “acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.” The developers include Sugon of Beijing, three of its affiliates and Wuxi […]
China warns tech firms against cooperating with US trade ban
[ad_1] The meetings reportedly involved three government divisions, suggesting that approval likely came from the highest ranks of Chinese leadership. Officials didn’t mention Huawei by name, but there wasn’t much doubt that the company was involved. Whether or not the threats hold much weight is another story. If accurate, China effectively wants companies to risk […]
China plans list of ‘unreliable entities’ in retaliation for Huawei ban
[ad_1] The Chinese government didn’t name entities or say how (or if) it would punish offenders. There’s a chance this won’t amount to much. China’s economy still thrives on US businesses to some degree, including contract orders and suppliers, and cutting off those partners could lead to serious problems for some domestic operations. It may […]
Huawei accuses FedEx of diverting documents to the US
[ad_1] Huawei was angry, at any rate. A spokesman said the alleged diversions “undermines [Huawei’s] confidence,” and that the company would “have to review” its logistics requirements as a result. It had already filed a complaint with China’s postal regulator. A FedEx spokeswoman said the packages were diverted “in error,” and denied that the US […]
Huawei says it’s a ‘victim of bullying by the US’
[ad_1] In an earlier statement, founder Ren Zhegfei said that the company had prepared for this possibility. The company previously acknowledged that it had a backup operating system in case it was cut off from Android, although it has yet to talk about rolling out the alternative software. Huawei could technically use Android’s open source […]
US may soften ban on Huawei to help existing users
[ad_1] Huawei would still face severe restrictions. It could buy US goods for maintenance, it couldn’t use those goods to create new products. A softened ban wouldn’t likely ease tensions between China and the US. Huawei has insisted that the de facto ban will create “significant economic harm” for Americans, and China has interpreted it […]
