The Biden administration is reportedly considering blacklisting several Chinese chip firms associated with Huawei. This consideration follows allegations that Huawei used an advanced 7nm chip in its Mate 60 Pro smartphone, potentially manufactured by China's top sanctioned chipmaker, SMIC. Alan Estevez, a senior U.S. Commerce Department official, highlighted that SMIC's actions in making the processor for Huawei could have breached American laws, given Huawei's sanctioned status. The chip debuted in a Huawei smartphone in August. The U.S. is currently assessing the situation and contemplating further sanctions against Huawei's chipmaking network while seeking to reinforce international curbs.
