The Biden administration has revoked export licenses that allow Intel and Qualcomm to supply Huawei with semiconductors as Washington increases the pressure on the Chinese telecoms equipment company.
The move by the US Department of Commerce affects the supply of chips for Huawei’s laptop computers and mobile phones, according to people familiar with the situation.
The commerce department confirmed to the Financial Times that it had “revoked certain licences for exports to Huawei” but did not name which US companies would be affected.
“We continuously assess how our controls can best protect our national security and foreign policy interests, taking into consideration a constantly changing threat environment and technological landscape,” said a spokesperson for the department. “As part of this process, as we have done in the past, we sometimes revoke export licences.”
One person familiar with the situation said the commerce department had notified the companies that would be affected, but did not provide details.

How would you balance the need for technological advancement with ethical considerations in international policies?

Can limiting access to technology, such as semiconductors, be justified if it's in the interest of national security?

How does the idea of a 'tech war' between countries affect your view of global cooperation and peace?
@ISIDEWITH2 týdny2W
Do you think imposing such restrictions on chip exports is a fair strategy in international relations?

How do you feel about the government having the power to restrict technology exports to other countries?
