Huawei can purchase automotive chips from US companies. This was reported by Reuters talking about a turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars. The news opens a crack in the wall that the Trump administration first and that of Biden then erected between the Chinese giant and US companies. According to the ban still active, the latter can do business with Huawei only after receiving an explicit license.
According to the source, the US has granted suppliers licenses to sell automotive system components to Huawei, such as screens and sensors . Approvals that come at a stage in which the Chinese company, in international markets, is concentrating resources in sectors that are less likely to be adversely affected by US trade restrictions. In fact, car chips are considered less critical components to national security than telephone modules or network infrastructures. Getting Licensing Approval therefore more & ugrave; simple.

From here to say that the United States is changing its orientation against Huawei on all fronts , for & ograve ;, there & # 39; & egrave; a big difference . A spokesperson for the US Department of Commerce, questioned about the licenses granted, si & egrave; limited to comment that the government continues to consistently apply the licensing mechanism to restrict Huawei's access to raw materials, software and technologies that could limit U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.
Huawei for its part, while not explicitly intervening on the issue of car chip supplies, commented:
We are positioning ourselves as a new supplier of components for connected vehicles and our goal is; help car OEMs build better vehicles.
To put it differently, the Company tries to diversify the business; business by occupying those spaces of freedom that the US ban allows it to have internationally. The automotive market could be a new segment in which Huawei has made no secret of wanting to invest, think for example of the projects on autonomous driving and electric cars.
