'Some of the rural companies are dependent on Huawei, so we're giving them a little more time to wean themselves off.' US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on giving China’s Huawei a 90-day reprieve
Huawei said in a statement that the temporary extension "does not change the fact that Huawei has been treated unjustly. Today's decision won't have a substantial impact on Huawei's business either way."
Shortly after the blacklisting, the Commerce Department allowed Huawei to purchase some American-made goods in a move designed to minimize disruption for its customers, including rural US telecommunications firms that use Huawei equipment in their networks. Ross said the latest extension also was aimed at aiding those same customers.
Huawei said it opposes the decision to add another 46 affiliates to the Entity List. "It's clear that this decision, made at this particular time, is politically motivated and has nothing to do with national security," the company said.The extension, through November 18, renews an agreement continuing the Chinese company's ability to maintain existing telecommunications networks and provide software updates to Huawei handsets.
The semiconductor industry has lobbied to sell non-sensitive items that Huawei could easily buy abroad, arguing that a blanket ban harms American companies.
