Viral Huawei Ad With US Commerce Secretary Mocks US Export Controls

  • An image of Gina Raimondo speaking in Shanghai went viral in China as it was supposedly taken with Huawei's new Mate 60 Pro phone.

  • The phone relies on Chinese-made chips and its release sparked Chinese mockery of Raimondo and U.S. export controls.

  • Fake ad campaigns made Raimondo a Huawei brand ambassador with the slogan "far, far ahead."

  • Analysts warn the phone likely used some American technology despite claims of independence.

  • The phone quickly sold out in China and fueled calls in Washington for stricter controls on Huawei and Chinese chipmaker SMIC.
