The Chinese telecommunication giant, Huawei said in a statement that the decision of the United States government to add 46 more affiliates of Huawei to a blacklist known as entity list is unfair and politically motivated and it will not help the state advance its technological leadership.

Wilbur Ross, Commerce Secretary of the United States, declared on yesterday that they extend the delayed the trade ban for another ninety days a temporary amnesty for Huawei to continue doing trade with the U.S. firms. The previous deadline lapsed on the 19th of August. On the other side, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) added another 46 affiliates of Huawei onto the blacklist.

Huawei stated that this U.S. move violates the elementary principles of free-market competition. It is in no one’s interest, including the companies of the United States. Huawei was placed on the U.S. Blacklist in May, which in result restricts the U.S. firms from doing business with Huawei. However, a few days later, Trump announced to suspend the ban for 90 days, which allowed it to do business with the American companies with specific and limited products.

In a statement, Ross said that as they continue to enforce consumers to transition away from products of Huawei, they came to know that further time needed to prevent any disturbance. Moreover, few U.S rural mobile networks use Huawei gear, whereas some technology component firms of the United States rely on a significant portion of revenue from Chinese Huawei.

Ross repeated his concern that Chinese tech giant poses a security threat for the U.S. The United States sustained that equipment of Huawei could use as a backdoor by the government of China to spy on American state, while Huawei repeatedly denied the allegations.
