The Biden administration needs to determine whether SMIC violated U.S. export rules to produce a chip to power Huawei's Mate 60 Pro phone, said an official.
A logo hangs on the building of the Beijing branch of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation on December 4, 2020 in Beijing, China.The Biden administration still needs to determine whether China's top chipmaker SMIC violated U.S. export rules to produce a chip to power Huawei's Mate 60 Pro phone, a senior Commerce Department official said during a congressional hearing on Thursday.
That comes amid growing pressure from China hardliners to take action against the two companies since Huawei unveiled a new phone powered by a sophisticated chip manufactured at SMIC in August. The phone also prompted a review by the Biden administration to learn the details behind the chip that powers it, the most advanced semiconductor China has so far produced.
Huawei was added to a trade restrictions list in 2019 by the Trump administration over alleged sanctions violations. SMIC was added to the same list in 2020 for alleged ties to the Chinese military industrial complex. Both companies have previously denied wrongdoing.
