Lawmakers Criticize Intel Exports to Blacklisted Huawei

Republican lawmakers criticize Biden administration for allowing Huawei to launch new laptop with Intel processors, despite Huawei being on a restricted trade list.

Huawei has been receiving high-tech components from U.S. companies like Intel since 2020 under a license granted by the Trump administration.

Lawmakers express frustration that technological exports to Huawei are still happening, despite assurances the licenses would be discontinued.

Intel has been supplying Huawei with processors for laptops under the Trump-era license that is expected to expire this year.

Lawmakers worried about Huawei gaining economic and technological prowess that could aid China's military development.
