Huawei And ZTE May Face New US Ban Via White House by LASTMAN2018: 7:08pm On Dec 27, 2018 |
The attacks by the U.S. government
on China-based Huawei and ZTE may
about to enter a new phase.
Blomberg reports , via unnamed
sources, that the White House is
preparing an executive order that
could result in U.S. companies being
banned from using
telecommunications equipment from
Huawei and ZTE.
Specifically, the executive order would allegedly
order the U.S. Commerce Department to bar
U.S. companies from using parts and
equipment from companies that the
government believes could pose a national
security risk. The order, which reportedly has
not been finalized, would use the
government’s International Emergency
Economic Powers Act as its foundation, which
allows the White House to regulate and control
commerce in the event of a national
emergency.
Neither Huawei nor ZTE have been named in
drafts of this order, according to the story.
However, it is expected that when it is
released, the Commerce Department will use it
as the excuse to ban the use of products by
those two companies in the U.S. Bloomberg
points out that a number of rural wireless
carriers in the U.S. use parts from Huawei and
ZTE, due to their lower prices.
The U.S. government has been claiming for
years that Huawei and ZTE are linked to the
Chinese government and that their smartphones
and other products could be used to spy on
citizens and companies in this country. Huawei
and ZTE have both repeatedly denied these
allegations.
In 2018, ZTE was banned from using U.S. parts
in its products for seven years , including its
smartphones, because the company had
broken the terms of its deal not to violate the
current U.S. Iranian trade embargo. It looked
like ZTE was going to shut down. However,
thanks to the intervention of President Donald
Trump , the ZTE parts ban was lifted, allowing
the company to stay in business.
Huawei was supposed to start selling its
smartphones in the U.S. with an agreement
from AT&T, but U.S. lawmakers convinced the
carrier to back out of that deal at the last
minute in January 2018. Earlier in
December, Canadian law enforcement
authorities arrested Meng Wanzhou , Huawei’s
chief financial officer, at the request of the U.S.
She was accused of also violating the country’s
trade embargo of Iran. She is currently out on
bail and awaiting an extradition trial, where she
may be brought to the U.S. |
