Trump blocks ways for Huawei to acquire US chip technology through third parties

The Trump administration is further tightening restrictions on China’s Huawei, seeking to starve it of crucial components by cutting off all access to US technology.

As many as 38 Huawei affiliates were added on Monday to an existing list of companies banned from receiving some sensitive technologies. The Commerce Department also ended an exemption that had allowed some Huawei customers in the US to keep using its equipment and software.
