The US administration announced on Monday that they have expanded their sanctions on China's Huawei, a move aimed at further limiting the tech giant's access to computer chips and other technology.
A Commerce Department statement added 38 Huawei affiliates around the world to the "entity list," claiming that the company was using international subsidiaries to circumvent the sanctions which prevent export of US-based technology.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Huawei and its affiliates "have worked through third parties to harness US technology in a manner that undermines US national security and foreign policy interests."
