Huawei exec: China will retaliate if U.S. changes foreign product rule

摘要

The Chinese government will have no choice but to retaliate against the U.S. if the Trump administration chooses to change its foreign product rule to restrict the world's leading chipmaker from doing business with Huawei, an executive for the Shenzhen-based company said this week. The administration has been considering changing its foreign direct product rule in a way that could force the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to choose between supplying the U.S. market or Huawei, the world's largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer. TSMC is a major supplier to Huawei and the U.S. market. Reuters reported last week that the administration would discuss the rule change in meetings this week and next.
