"U.S. Commerce Secretary Expresses Concern Over Huawei's Disturbing New Phone"

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo expressed concern over Huawei's new 5G phone, the Mate 60 Pro, which features an advanced 7-nanometer chip made in China. This development raises eyebrows among U.S. officials as Huawei was previously reliant on non-Chinese firms for advanced chips. Placed on a trade blacklist in 2019, Huawei's ability to access cutting-edge semiconductors was restricted. However, the Mate 60 Pro suggests that Huawei may have found a way around U.S. controls, potentially undermining the effectiveness of export control measures. The U.S. is expected to announce expanded controls on chip sales to China this month.
