China tells US to stop 'unreasonable suppression' of Huawei

BEIJING, May 16, (AFP) - Beijing has urged the United States to stop the “unreasonable suppression of Huawei and Chinese enterprises” after Washington announced new export controls to restrict the tech giant's access to semiconductor technology.

The latest restrictions on the world's secondlargest smartphone manufacturer, which is at the centre of US spying allegations, are a new escalation in the US-China battle for global technological dominance.
