U.S. Considers Blacklisting Huawei-Linked Chinese Semiconductor Firms

The Biden administration's move aims to curb Beijing's technological advancements, following Huawei's significant tech breakthroughs.

The Biden administration is considering blacklisting several Chinese semiconductor firms linked to Huawei Technologies, escalating the U.S. campaign against Beijing's AI and semiconductor ambitions.
Reports indicate that the firms under scrutiny include Qingdao Si'En, SwaySure, and Shenzhen Pensun Technology Co, with the U.S. also weighing sanctions on memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies Inc.
This move follows Huawei's notable technological advancements, including the development of a 7nm homegrown processor for the Mate 60 Pro smartphone, which raised concerns in Washington.
The potential sanctions are part of a broader effort to contain China's technological rise, with Huawei already under heavy U.S. sanctions since 2019 over national security concerns.
No final decisions have been made regarding the blacklisting, but the situation reflects ongoing tensions in the U.S.-China tech war.
