The U.S. Department of Commerce announced new regulations on May 15 that allow U.S. companies to cooperate with Huawei on 5G standards development. Huawei responded to this on Tuesday night.
The U.S. Commerce Department said that under new rules from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), U.S. companies will not be required to obtain a license before engaging with Huawei.
Huawei issued a statement saying that Huawei's attitude is consistent and is willing to have frank discussions and exchanges with its technology counterparts, including U.S. manufacturers, on standards for new technologies to contribute to the technological progress of human society.
The following is the translated full text of Huawei's statement:
By their very nature, standards are open, fair and non-discriminatory, and require the participation of global manufacturers, research institutions and industry associations.
Inclusiveness and full consultation can better promote the development of technical standards and contribute to the healthy development of the global economy and industry.
Huawei's attitude is consistent, and we are willing to have frank discussions and exchanges with our technology counterparts, including U.S. manufacturers, on the standards of new technologies to contribute to the technological progress of human society.
