U.S. Cancels Export Licenses for Huawei Suppliers

Reuters Yonhap News

It has been reported that the U.S. raised sanctions against Huawei, China’s largest telecommunications equipment company.

According to Reuters and the U.K. Financial Times (FT), on the 7th (local time), the U.S. Department of Commerce revoked export licenses for some companies that export semiconductors to Huawei.

Reuters reported that this move came after Huawei announced last month that it would equip its first artificial intelligence (AI) laptop, the MateBook X Pro, with Intel’s new Core Ultra 9 processor.

According to the FT, some companies, including Intel and Qualcomm, were informed that their export licenses were immediately revoked. However, the Department of Commerce did not reveal which U.S. companies would be affected. Neither Qualcomm nor Intel have made any public statements to the FT.

In response, U.S. Republicans have criticized the Commerce Department for quickly granting Intel permission to export semiconductors critical to national security.

Republican congressman Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has repeatedly urged the Bureau of Industry and Security under the Department of Commerce to take a stricter stance on Huawei. In a letter last year, he raised concern that Huawei could still buy “significant amounts of U.S. components.”.

Since 2019, the U.S. has placed Huawei on an export control list for national security reasons. A strict separate export license must be obtained to export parts domestically produced to Huawei.

Reuters explained that successive U.S. administrations, including the Trump administration, have been granting permissions to export billions of dollars worth of semiconductors to Huawei.
