Sanctions on US Huawei, a major telecommunications equipment manufacturer in China, become more severe May 16 at 5:57
The US government has announced that it will tighten sanctions against China's telecommunications equipment giant Huawei. Relations between the United States and China are deteriorating over the sources of the new coronavirus, and the conflict is likely to deepen.
Last May, the US Department of Commerce banned American companies from exporting electronic components such as semiconductors to Huawei and affiliates without government permission.
However, the Ministry of Commerce announced on the 15th that the sanctions will be strengthened, saying that electronic parts using American technology were produced overseas such as Taiwan and reported cases involving Huawei.
Specifically, we do not allow products made using American semiconductor manufacturing equipment to be sold to Huawei even if they are made overseas.
This will affect Huawei's procurement of parts and may affect Japanese manufacturers of electronic parts for Huawei.
In a statement, Secretary of Commerce Ross said he would "stop vicious activities that violate US security," and he said he would strengthen China's tech sector.
The relationship between the United States and China has deteriorated recently regarding the source of the new coronavirus, but the recent strengthening of sanctions is likely to deepen the conflict.
