Huawei Added to US Entity List — Major Escalation

The US Commerce Department adds Huawei and 68 affiliates to the Entity List, requiring US companies to obtain licenses before supplying Huawei with American technology, components, or software. Google immediately restricts Huawei's access to Android updates and Google services. Qualcomm, Intel, and Broadcom halt shipments. The action is the most consequential technology sanction in history by economic scale.
