The Pentagon believes that Huawei is controlled by the Chinese Army, which is also accused of the video surveillance company Hiktvision. The US clash with the world's largest provider of telecommunications equipment is one of the workhorses in the trade war against the Asian giant, parked during the covid-19 crisis but rekindled by pessimism in the economy and a growing reinforcement of borders.

An Administration document to which Reuters has had access exposes that these two Chinese companies or belong to the Communist Army are under their control, an analysis that could serve as the basis for new tariff volleys by the Americans, who have already included Huawei in a blacklist that impeded the normal commercial relationship between North American companies and Chinese technology.

The thesis that decision-making at Huawei comes from military commands is endorsed by the Department of Defense (DOD), which has compiled a list of 20 companies operating today in the United States and that, According to the Pentagon, it would be backed by the Communist Army. China Mobile Communications Group and China Telecommunications Corp , as well as the aircraft manufacturing consortium Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC), are also among the twenty companies.

The mere fact of being part of that classification, which would come from a 1999 law to compile which companies are "owned or controlled" by the People's Liberation Army, in principle is not linked to the imposition of sanctions. However, Donald Trump could advance in that line, as he has done on previous occasions. From Huawei, contacted by this newspaper, so far they have not made statements regarding this new blow to their international activity. For its part, Hikvision described the accusations as "unfounded" , with a resounding refusal that it is a "Chinese military company", adding that it has never participated in any research and development work on military applications.
