The move comes after the release last month of Huaweiâs first AI-enabled laptop, the MateBook X Pro powered by Intelâs new Core Ultra 9 processor.
The laptop launch drew fire from Republican lawmakers, who said it suggested that the US Department of Commerce had given the green light to Intel to sell the chip to Huawei.
âWe have revoked certain licenses for exports to Huawei,â the Commerce Department said in a statement, declining to specify which ones it had withdrawn.
The move, first reported by Reuters, comes after concerted pressure by Republican China hawks in Congress who have been urging the Biden administration to take tougher action to thwart Huawei.
âThis action will bolster US national security, protect American ingenuity, and diminish Communist Chinaâs ability to advance its technology,â Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik said in a statement.
Depending on which licences were revoked, the move could also hurt Huawei which still relies on Intel chips to power its laptops, and could hurt US suppliers that do business with the company.
A spokesperson for Intel declined to comment.
Huawei did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Huawei was placed on a US trade restriction list in 2019 amid fears it could spy on Americans, part of a broader effort to handicap Chinaâs ability to bolster its military. Being added to the list means the companyâs suppliers have to seek a special, difficult-to-obtain licence before shipping.
Even so, suppliers to Huawei have received licences worth billions of dollars to sell Huawei goods and technology, including one particularly controversial authorization, issued by the administration of former President Donald Trump, which has allowed Intel to ship central processors to Huawei for use in its laptops since 2020.
Qualcomm has sold older 4G chips to handsets since receiving a licence from US officials in 2020. In a regulatory filing earlier this month, Qualcomm said it did not expect to receive more chip revenue from Huawei beyond this year.
However, Qualcomm still licenses its portfolio of 5G technologies to Huawei, which last year began using a 5G chip designed by its HiSilicon unit that most analysts believe is manufactured in violation of US sanctions. Qualcomm said in the filing this month that its patent deal with Huawei expires early in Qualcommâs fiscal 2025 and that it has started negotiations to renew the deal.
Qualcomm did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Critics argue such licences have contributed to the companyâs resurgence. Huawei shocked the industry last August with a new phone powered by a sophisticated chip manufactured by Chinese chipmaker SMIC, despite US export restrictions on both companies.
The phone helped Huawei smartphone sales spike 64 percent year on year in the first six weeks of 2024, according to research firm Counterpoint. Its smart car component business has also contributed to Huaweiâs resurgence, with the company notching its fastest revenue growth in four years in 2023. |
