Biden Quietly Loosens Tech Export Rules to Chinese Communist Firms Just Days After Huawei Lobbyist’s Brother Joins White House.
The White House loosened restrictions on the sharing of technology with firms blacklisted for their ties to the Chinese Communist Party, including the controversial company Huawei.

The
move, which applies to firms that have been blacklisted by the U.S. government, was advertised as addressing confusion over whether American companies need a license to share “low-level”technology with sanctioned parties.
Notably, Huawei Technologies Co. – which was included in the original export ban, as telecommunications firm has extensive links to the Chinese Communist Party – will now be able to receive certain technologies from American companies.
Labeled a “national security threat” by the Trump administration and a decades-long Chinese military collaborator by the U.S.
Department of Defense, Huawei routinely provides the regime
backdoor access to its products, networks, and devices.
The State Department has also
emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party uses Huawei as an “instrument not only for making money but also for pursuing the Party-State’s agenda and fulfilling its strategic objectives […] deeply enmeshed in Beijing’s system of oppression at home and its increasingly assertive strategic ambitions globally.”
The news comes after
months of wrangling by Huawei lobbyists, those of whom include leading anti-Trump and pro-Biden individuals, such as
Trump impeachment support Stephen Binhak, and the brothers of both Biden advisor
Steve Richetti and newly minted Biden climate czar
John Podesta.
