US trade war harms US electronics companies

American tech companies are getting the go-ahead to resume business with Chinese smartphone giant Huawei but it may be too late as the outfit has moved on and is seeing other people.

Huawei has decided to challenge a US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision barring rural carrier customers from tapping an $8.5 billion government fund to purchase equipment from the Chinese company.

Intel Comet Lake or AMD Ryzen mobile CPUs

Earlier this week, Huawei announced its new MateBook D-series laptops, which will be available in 14-inch and 15.6-inch versions, the D14 and the D15, as well as a choice between Intel Comet Lake or AMD Ryzen CPUs, and Geforce MX 250 mobile GPU or Vega graphics inside Ryzen CPU.

The US Commerce Department said that it has granted a 90 day extension of its temporary general licence which will extend until February 16th next year.

Chinese telecoms giant Huawei Technologies has given $286 million in cash rewards to staff helping it weather a US trade blacklisting.
