(Reuters) – A Trump administration policy that allowed companies to ship some U.S. technology below the ‘5G level’ to China’s blacklisted telecommunications equipment maker Huawei is ‘under assessment,’ a key U.S. official said on Tuesday.
‘A licensing rule of the previous administration still stands for Huawei that allows things below 5G, below cloud level, to go, and I will say that all those things are under assessment,’ U.S. Commerce Department official Alan Estevez, who oversees export control policy, said at a Congressional hearing.
