Huawei could face even tighter US restrictions

The US is reviewing existing licenses for exporting items to Huawei Technologies Co. as Washington intensifies a crackdown on Chinese companies amid growing tensions between the world’s two largest economies.

“The licensing rule from the previous administration, that still stands for Huawei — allows things below 5G, below cloud level, to go — and I will say that all those things are under assessment,” Alan Estevez, the undersecretary of Commerce overseeing the Bureau of Industry and Security, said during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Tuesday.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that this is to annoy the Chinese enough that they invade Taiwan. Then they get to block the all imports from China and they can try convince TSMC to move all operations to the US.
