Last month, in an open letter to Gina Rai Raimondeau, Minister of Commerce, members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives said that the motive for the spin-off of Glory from Huawei was suspicious, and asked the Ministry of Commerce to include Glory in the list of export control entities of the Ministry of Commerce.
Estevez said that Huawei poses a threat to US national security. "I have seen China (enterprise) before. After I confirm my appointment, this is something I must investigate. At present, I have not fully understood the details. " If the appointment is confirmed, he will strengthen the control of key technologies, improve the supply chain in the United States, and especially maintain the flexibility of semiconductor supply; Efforts should be made to curb "all kinds of malicious acts" by China and other hostile countries.
Allen Estevez served in the U.S. Department of Defense for 36 years, and served as the chief deputy minister in charge of procurement, technology and logistics, and participated in the U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Currently, he works as a consultant for LLP Deloitte Consulting. During the Obama administration, he represented the Department of Justice in the Committee on Overseas Investment (CFIUS), which was responsible for reviewing investments related to national security.
Thea Kendler, another nominee for Assistant Secretary of Commerce in charge of export control in the US Department of Commerce, said at the hearing that day that if necessary, she would not hesitate to implement unilateral export control to prevent American technology from falling into the hands of hostile countries.
Kaendler said in her personal statement that she is proud of protecting US national security, especially the prosecution of Huawei. Candler is one of the prosecutors who filed a criminal lawsuit against Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei, on behalf of the US government. In 20 18, the U.S government accused Meng Wanzhou of misleading HSBC in Iranian business, which led to Meng Wanzhou's arrest in Canada.
Thea Kaendler is a prosecutor in the United States Department of Justice. Her business focuses on national security and international trade law, and the cases she investigated and prosecuted mainly involved export control, economic espionage and counter-espionage. Before joining the Ministry of Justice on 20/0/4, she worked as a senior consultant in the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the Ministry of Commerce, providing legal advice on export control regulations and law enforcement. Kaendler studied Chinese and Japanese at the same time in college.
The nominations of the above-mentioned two Ministry of Commerce officials need to be voted by the Senate Finance Committee and then submitted to all members of the Senate for voting.
As early as April this year 12, Xu Zhijun, vice chairman and rotating chairman of Huawei, said that Huawei had no hope of being removed from the entity list and was prepared to maintain its operation under the entity list for a long time. "Huawei's goal this year is to live, but I hope to live better this year."
For US lawmakers clamoring for sanctions, glory CEO Zhao Ming said that glory has become a new company, and Huawei will no longer hold shares and will develop independently; Glory will abide by the laws and regulations of the country where it is located and do its own thing.
According to Washington post's recent report, American security agencies have different opinions on whether to blacklist glory exports. Both the US Department of Defense and the Department of Energy support blacklisting glory, while the Ministry of Commerce and the State Council disagree. The former means "the same concern about technology export" and should include glory. Glory is now owned by Zhixin New Information Technology, which is related to the Shenzhen Municipal Government. According to the Ministry of Commerce and the State Council, Glory does not manufacture materials or components, and its equipment is not sold in the United States, so it is meaningless to prohibit the brand from trading with American companies, which is more harmful to the American economy than China.
