The revelations of Canadian experts, who disassembled the latest flagship smartphone Huawei Mate 60 Pro and discovered the HiSilicon Kirin 9000s processor in its composition, allegedly produced by SMIC using an analogue of the “sanctioned” 7-nm process technology, found fertile ground in the American parliament, whose representatives began to come up with various legislative initiatives . According to Archyde.comthis week representatives of the US Republican Party, who head a number of relevant committees in the House of Representatives, called on the US presidential administration to strengthen control over the provision of Chinese companies Huawei and SMIC with access to technologies of American origin.

This can be done, according to the authors of the initiative, by revoking existing export licenses that allow SMIC and its suppliers to use advanced (to a certain extent) American technologies. The head of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCaul, generally called on the US authorities to completely ban the import of components produced by SMIC into the country, since they might pose a threat to national security. In addition, McCall called on the US leadership to initiate criminal proceedings once morest the leaders of SMIC and Huawei Technologies, accusing them of illegally gaining access to American technologies. Previously, there have already been calls from US parliamentarians to block Huawei and SMIC’s access to any technologies of American origin. All existing export licenses that allow these companies to carry out relevant activities should be revoked, according to the authors of the letter.
