US commerce secretary downplays chip in advanced Huawei phone

==========

US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo downplayed the chip in the advanced Huawei Mate 60 Pro phone, stating that it is not as advanced as American chips. Raimondo argued that this demonstrates the effectiveness of US curbs on shipments to Huawei. The Huawei Mate 60 Pro, powered by a sophisticated chip, was released in August 2023 and was seen as a symbol of China's technological resurgence. However, Raimondo stated that the chip is years behind what the US has, asserting that the US has the most sophisticated semiconductors in the world. The US has been trying to deprive Beijing of advanced semiconductor chips and tools over concerns of strengthening China's military capabilities. Huawei was added to the entity list in 2019, and its US suppliers have received licenses worth billions of dollars to continue selling to the company. The Biden administration is conducting a review of the chip that powers the Huawei phone, but details of the review are limited.
