Is Huawei Ban Coming To An End?
Huawei ban is soon coming to an end as the United States commerce department is all set to loosen its ban on the mobile equipment maker from China. Already numerous US firms have applied for a special license to continue working with Huawei and the number has reached 26o now. The sheer number of firms wanting to do business with Huawei has made the ban irrelevant. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told in an interview to Bloomberg that “very shortly” licenses to do business with Huawei will arrive for the US firms. Which firms have applied for licenses and how many will get it isn’t been revealed yet. There’s an exception though when it comes to telecoms. The ban on Huawei was to deter its 5G technology and snooping efforts by Chinese intelligence. The blacklisting of this Chinese tech giant is still active. Link.
