China's Response to the U.S. Ban on Huawei
The Fallout of the United States' Decision
In May 2019, the United States added Chinese tech giant Huawei to its Entity List, effectively banning the company from doing business with American companies. The move was made in response to concerns about Huawei's alleged ties to the Chinese government and the potential for its technology to be used for spying.
China's Reaction
China has reacted strongly to the U.S. ban, calling it "unreasonable" and "politically motivated." The Chinese government has also taken steps to retaliate against the U.S., including blacklisting several American companies and suspending purchases of American agricultural products.
The Impact on the Global Economy
The U.S.-China trade war has had a significant impact on the global economy. The two countries are the world's largest economies, and their trade dispute has disrupted supply chains and led to higher prices for consumers.
The Future of the Trade War
It is unclear how long the U.S.-China trade war will continue. Both sides have indicated a willingness to negotiate, but there are no signs of a breakthrough anytime soon.
China's Response to Huawei's Blacklisting
In addition to suspending purchases of American agricultural products, China has also blacklisted several American companies in response to Huawei's blacklisting.
- Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), the parent company of Google.
- Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO), a semiconductor company.
- Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), a networking equipment company.
- Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC), a semiconductor company.
- Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU), a memory chip company.
- Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM), a semiconductor company.
- Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC), a hard drive company.
The Chinese government has also encouraged Chinese companies to develop their own technology, in order to reduce reliance on American companies.
