Beijing calls on Huawei to stop undue pressure

Sino-US trade relations have heated up again over a dispute over the source of the coronavirus. His push is on the Chinese company Huawei. Beijing has called on Washington to stop putting undue pressure on other companies, including Chinese technology company Huawei. The U.S. Department of Commerce recently announced new export control policies to pressure other companies to stop supplying semiconductors to Huawei.

New restrictions on the world's second-largest smartphone maker, accused of spying in the United States, have sparked new tensions between the United States and China in the fight for global technology dominance, according to a report by news agency AFP.

A statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Saturday said the Chinese government would strongly support the legitimate and legal rights and interests of Chinese institutions. We call on the United States to immediately stop unreasonable repression of Chinese companies, including Huawei . The Trump administration's move will destroy the chain of global production, supply and price.

The U.S. Department of Commerce said on Friday that their announcement had halted efforts by Huawei to weaken U.S. export controls.

Semiconductors are needed for Huawei's widely used smartphones and telecom equipment, which has become the focus of the global technological dominance battle between the United States and China.

The United States is trying to persuade its allies to remove Huawei's gear from its 5G network, alleging that China could use Huawei equipment for espionage. Huawei has denied all allegations of spying.

The U.S. Department of Commerce says Huawei continues to use chips made using U.S. software and technology, even after it was blacklisted in May last year. As a result of the policy change, foreign companies that use US chip-making technology will have to seek permission to supply chips to Huawei.

Over the past week, countermeasures against coronavirus have been announced. Beijing has also threatened retaliation against the United States for filing several lawsuits against China over the coronavirus epidemic.
