Commerce Department Further Restricts Chip Sales to Huawei

The Commerce Department has further restricted the sale of U.S. technology to China’s leading high-tech firm, Huawei Technologies, revoking certain allowances of U.S. chip sales amid renewed scrutiny of the company in Washington. The move will curb U.S. companies Intel and Qualcomm from selling chips — the brains of computing devices — to Huawei for its smartphones and laptops, according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss nonpublic policy details.
