Huawei opposes U.S. gov't decision to add another 46 affiliates to Entity List

(ECNS) -- Huawei Technologies Co said on Monday that it opposes the U.S. Commerce Department's decision to add another 46 Huawei affiliates to the Entity List, calling on the U.S. government to put an end to this "unjust treatment."  

Huawei made the announcement after U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said that his department will grant another temporary reprieve for another 90 days to the Chinese tech giant.

"It's clear that this decision, made at this particular time, is politically motivated and has nothing to do with national security. These actions violate the basic principles of free market competition. They are in no one's interests, including U.S. companies. Attempts to suppress Huawei's business won't help the United States achieve technological leadership. We call on the U.S. government to put an end to this unjust treatment and remove Huawei from the Entity List," Huawei said in a declaration.  

"The extension of the Temporary General License does not change the fact that Huawei has been treated unjustly. Today's decision won't have a substantial impact on Huawei's business either way," it was added. 

Huawei said it will continue to focus on developing the best possible products and providing the best possible services to our customers around the world.
