The US government has decided to relax restrictions on the sharing of important technologies with blacklisted companies, including Huawei. China has closed the gap in its competition with America in many areas, including technology. The USA also aims to maintain its leadership in setting international standards.
New standards set
The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued a statement allowing the release of certain technologies and software that organizations discuss and standards. The statement includes an article on whether US firms are required to secure a license before sharing a technology with sanctioned parties, including Huawei, during such processes.
Huawei vs Apple
In 2019, Chinese tech giant Huawei and a number of non-American affiliates were blacklisted. The decision, which restricts the Chinese manufacturer’s access to critical US suppliers, was taken at a time when Chinese companies were on the rise. The absence of Google Mobile Services and processor shortages greatly affected Huawei and its subsidiaries. Revenues fell, market share in different product categories also fell. This did not stop Huawei, new products began to arrive. Huawei continues to delve deeper into new technologies. Satellite communications technology, which brought the company to a head-to-head fight with Apple, is an example.
The US sees the Chinese as a threat
Washington is concerned that the Chinese government and major Chinese companies are playing a large role in setting the standards for technology and, in theory, giving companies a competitive advantage that the US sees as a national security threat. Huawei states that they do not pose a threat to the United States.
According to the statement of US government official Alan Estevez, the new decision will help advance America’s leadership in critical organs.
Details not shared
What are the standards? What technology and software will be allowed? There is no information in this direction yet. With this development, it is predicted that Google services will be installed on Huawei phones again.
