Biden Administration Further Limits the Exportation of Components to Huawei. Global Times: Two Canadians Will Soon Stand Trial
The Biden administration amended licences for companies to sell Huawei technology, further restricting companies from supplying items that can be used with 5G devices. Two sources quoted in Reuters said the change could distrust the exiting contract with Huawei. Global Times said trials of two Canadians on an espionage charge, Michael Kovrig and Michael Kovrig, would be closed soon. There are signs that the Huawei case cannot be solved through a diplomatic channel.
According to a Reuters report, the Biden administration has taken action this week, indicating Biden is stepping up their hard line against Huawei. US Department of Commerce Spokesperson and spokesperson of Huawei have both declined to comment.

Biden Says that Huawei is a “Distrustful Supplier” and Equipment Poses a National Security Threat
The spokesperson of the White House, Jen Psaki, indicated on Wednesday (27th January) that the Biden government would prevent the US telecommunications network from using equipment from “distrust-worthy suppliers”, such as the Chinese telecommunications equipment giant Huawei.
Psaki stated the telecommunication equipment of a “distrust-worthy supplier” will be a national security threat to the US and other allies. The US will make sure that the telecommunication network is not using equipment from those suppliers, and they will work with the allies to secure their cybersecurity. “Invest in the expansion of telecommunications equipment production by the credible US and allied companies”.
Former Trump government allegations that Huawei can monitor users, steal intellectual property rights, and violate sanctions. Huawei denies wrongdoings. Apart from putting Huawei on the trade blacklist, Trump also took the lead on lobbying allies to reject Huawei equipment when building a 5G network. Before the end of the Trump administration, the government still noticed many suppliers of Huawei, including chip manufacturer Intel, will revoke their supply license to Huawei.

Germany’s prevarication on Huawei 5G is bleak news for the free world
It’s a quintessentially German solution that tries to stifle tough choices in complex procedures, ”Martin Schallbruch, a former German official, told Noah Barkin of the German Marshall Fund this week. No, he wasn’t talking about Brexit, but about Germany’s decision whether or not to let Huawei build its 5G network.
After more than a year of procrastinating in an attempt to see a powerful anti-Huawei alliance between her backbench MPs and coalition partners, Angela Merkel is ready to win in her usual way: obscure. According to Barkin, Berlin’s almost final political proposal is now being circulated among its ministries and, in the words of an anonymous official, “leaves everything wide open.”

Trudeau condemns closed-door espionage trial of Canadian in China
Justin Trudeau has reacted angrily to the closed-door trial of a Canadian man detained in China for more than two years on espionage charges, dismissing it as “completely unacceptable”.
Businessman Michael Spavor, whose hearing finished after less than three hours on Friday, is one of two Canadians detained, in apparent retaliation for Canada’s arrest on a US extradition warrant of the Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, and formally charged last June with spying.

A Chinse factory in Yangon was burnt by the protesters today (7th April) while some protesters raised the slogans of boycott Chinese brands “Xiaomi” and “Huawei”.

According to Reuters, some protesters raised the slogans with boycott Chinese brands in Yangon and burnt the flag of China to protest that China has been friendly to the military government who initiated the coup.

UK tech company sues Huawei and Goodix for patent infringement
A small British technology company has accused Huawei and Goodix, China’s largest developer of smartphone fingerprint sensors, of infringing on its technology and has launched legal proceedings against both companies.
WaveTouch, a UK registered and owned company that was spun out of Technical University in Copenhagen, has filed claims against the two Chinese companies in the District Court of Düsseldorf, one of the main European patent courts.
WaveTouch alleges that a system that it designed to improve the accuracy of fingerprint readers underneath modern smartphone screens has been replicated by Goodix for a range of ultra-thin chips and used in millions of smartphones. It said Huawei has incorporated the disputed chip technology into a number of its smartphones including the P40 and the Mate 40.

Huawei allegedly spies on Dutch telecom users including political figures, arose Dutch regulators investigation
Netherland's media De Volkskrant obtained a confidential document alleges that Huawei had access to monitor the calls of users of KPN, the largest telecommunications network in the Netherlands, 10 years ago. The Guardian reported that the confidential report, made for KPN by the Capgemini consultancy firm in 2010, concluded that Huawei could have been monitoring the calls of approximately 6.5 million users without KPN’s knowledge, including politicians such as former prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende and Chinese dissidents. Both KPN and Huawei deny the allegations. The Dutch telecommunications regulator announced on Monday (19 April) that it will investigate the incident.
According to the report, Huawei staff in the Netherlands and China could have monitored calls made by Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, local dignitaries, and Chinese dissidents. "The continued existence of KPN Mobile is in serious danger because permits may be revoked or the government and businesses may give up their confidence in KPN if it becomes known that the Chinese government can eavesdrop on KPN mobile numbers and shut down the network", de Volkskrant quotes the report.

The US Grants Funds to Help Companies Replacing Chinese Corporate Communications Equipment
The US Federal Communications Commission unanimously approved the allocation of US$1.9 billion to subsidize US companies to replace equipment provided by Chinese telecommunications companies.
The funding aims to subsidize the removal of related communication equipment in rural areas of the United States. The number of customers of eligible companies must be less than 10 million, and the replacement equipment must be purchased before the end of June last year to apply for funding.
Last year, the committee determined that Huawei and ZTE constitute a national security threat to the US communications network. American companies cannot use government funding to purchase equipment from Huawei or ZTE. It refers to the high risk of equipment being controlled by external parties and stipulates that companies must destroy and remove their equipment.
