US-sanctioned Chinese telecommunications gear maker Huawei Technologies is under renewed pressure after Washington withdrew export licences that had allowed it to buy chips used in notebook computers and smartphones.
The US government has revoked special licences that let chip suppliers Qualcomm and Intel sell older-generation semiconductors to Huawei for use in its laptops and handsets, according to a Reuters report on Wednesday citing anonymous sources.
