The US has revoked certain licenses that allowed companies like Qualcomm and Intel to export restricted chips and technology to Huawei. It is further tightening restrictions on the tech giant.
The US government has revoked some licenses that allowed American chip companies to export semiconductors to Huawei. This reflects an ongoing effort by the Biden administration to limit the Chinese tech company’s access to key technologies.
The Commerce Department (via CNBC) said that it is continually assessing how export controls can protect national security and how the geopolitical landscape and the technology industry are evolving. As part of that review, the US has revoked certain licenses for the sale of chips and related technologies to Huawei.
While the Commerce Department did not specify which licenses or companies were affected, this is the latest move by the Biden administration to crack down on Huawei.
