U.S. officials have approved hundreds of millions of dollars in bids for Chinese carmaker Huawei to buy auto parts.
Huawei, the world's largest maker of telecommunications equipment, is hampered by trade restrictions imposed by the Trump administration on the sale of chips and other components, which are used in network systems and smartphones. THE government Biden has stepped up his tough line on exports to Huawei, denying licenses to sell chips to the company for use in 5G devices.
But it seems that the domestic market and chipmakers had other expectations, and pressured the US government to water its wine, after revenue losses here and two years.
Asked about car licenses, a Commerce Department spokesman said the government continues to consistently enforce licensing policies "to limit Huawei's access to products, software or technology for activities that could harm national security." US and foreign policy interests ".
The Ministry of Commerce is prohibited from disclosing approvals or denials of licenses, the person added.
A Huawei spokesman declined to comment on the licenses, but said: "We are a new provider of intelligently connected vehicle components and our goal is to help carmakers build better vehicles."
Referring to threats to US national security and foreign policy interests, the US has done much to slow the growth of Huawei's core communications-related businesses.
After placing Huawei on the US Commerce Department's trade blacklist in 2019, which banned sales of US products and technology to the company without special permits, the US last year increased restrictions to limit the sale of chips made abroad with American equipment. He also campaigned to force allies to bar Huawei from the networks 5G due to espionage. Huawei has denied the allegations.
