Smith notes that regarding Huawei's inclusion in the 'black list' United States trade, his company called on US regulators to shed more light on the matter, as these types of measures should not be taken without a "solid foundation of facts, logic and rule of law"
The Microsoft manager explains that "often, what we get as an answer is: 'Well, if they knew what we know, they would agree with us'", to which he replied: "Great, show us what you know so we can decide by ourselves".
The corporation official specifies that "telling a technology company that it can sell products, but not buy an operating system or chips," is equivalent to "telling a hotel company that it can open its doors, but not put beds in its rooms." of hotel or food in his restaurant”.
"Anyway, puts the survival of that company at riskSmith added.
Huawei is in the crosshairs of Washington, which accuses the company of spy for peking through its devices, something the company denies. In May, the US Commerce Department placed the Chinese manufacturer on its trade blacklist, barring US suppliers from doing business with the company.
