US to give Huawei blacklist exemptions

21 November

The US Department of Commerce has announced it will allow the sale of some supplies to the blacklisted Chinese telecom giant Huawei.

The US has banned American firms from doing business with Huawei and its affiliates without authorization since May, citing national security concerns.

Some companies have asked that the restriction be lifted for electronics parts that do not pose risks to US interests.

The ban is seen as an ongoing source of friction between the two countries.

Earlier this week, the US also extended a temporary license allowing limited business dealings with Huawei.
