Huawei’s former subsidiary Honor has become a new target of US agencies that want to ban the company. They have recently conducted a meeting to discuss whether to add the company to the US entity list or not. However, the meeting seems to soon turn into an argument due to the lack of agreement among the members.
According to the information, the four major US firms are involved with this matter. The Pentagon and Energy Department wants the authorities to black-listed Honor in the market. Meanwhile, the Commerce Department and State Department are strictly against this vote.
Huawei Ban Story:
The Trump administration banned Huawei in suspicion of being a security threat to the nation in 2019. Afterward, the US companies withdrew their supply and left Huawei to struggle alone. However, taking it as an opportunity the company started to polish its technologies and making its own empire. Still, there is a long way to cover.
Besides, the Chinese smartphone giant never accepted the so-called blame and always opposes them. Furthermore, the Huawei authorities claim all the charges of the US Federal Ministry groundless.
In order to survive, Huawei sold its subsidiary to a group of Chinese businesses in December 2020. Consequently, Honor regained its supply chain including chipsets, Google Mobile Services as well as other partnerships with global tech makers.
What’s the Purpose Behind Banning Honor:
The US legislation seems to have to good reason for imposing a ban on Honor. The company is no longer part of Huawei and become an independent firm last year. Moving ahead, it doesn’t have a strong position in 5G networking devices manufacturing, which causes any security threat in the country and causes a ban like it did with Huawei.
In case, if the company is anyhow banned in the US, it’ll surely bring devastating outcomes. It might lead the owners to give up on the company as it’ll directly cut the supplies from the biggest market. But first, the US has to clear its confusion to ban Honor or not. If yes, then why?
