On May 7, according to multiple international media reports, the US Department of Commerce has officially revoked the export licenses of US chip companies including Qualcomm and Intel to Huawei. This move is seen as the Biden administration further tightening export restrictions on Huawei, especially in the field of semiconductor technology.

Michael McCaul, Chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee and a Republican congressman, confirmed this news in an interview with the media and stated that this policy adjustment aims to prevent China from developing advanced artificial intelligence technology. He pointed out that there have always been concerns about the close relationship between these two companies and China, and this policy adjustment is to cut off resources that may benefit Chinas technological progress.

This decision not only reflects the strengthening of the USs strategic restrictions on Chinas high - tech development but may also have a significant impact on Huaweis recent recovery. Huawei, always an important global supplier and innovator of communication equipment and technology, has already endured severe commercial pressure under the previously implemented US restrictions.

It is reported that the revoked licenses cover key technologies that Huawei is about to or has already used, including semiconductor products such as new processors provided by Intel. These products were originally expected to be applied in Huaweis latest laptops and other devices. However, Republican congressmen in the US criticized the previous decision of the Department of Commerce to green - light such exports, believing that this move runs counter to national security policies.

The impact of this revocation of licenses goes far beyond Huawei. It is also a major blow to the entire US semiconductor industry. Chip - making giants such as Qualcomm and Intel will lose an important market, which will have a considerable negative impact on their business and revenue. It is reported that Qualcomm has clearly stated that the scale of its business transactions with Huawei has been significantly reduced.

When the US Department of Commerce confirmed the news of the revocation of licenses to the media, it did not disclose in detail how this ban would be implemented, nor did it specify which US companies would be specifically affected. But this move undoubtedly deepens the uncertainty of the global technology industry about the future of Sino - US trade relations.
