  • Story Text: China has urged the United States to stop unreasonable pressure on Chinese companies, including Huawei Technologies, foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a daily press briefing on Thursday (October 10).
    The United States will soon allow some U.S. companies to sell non-sensitive goods to the company, which had been on a U.S. trade blacklist since May, the New York Times reported.
    The move comes as the two countries are set to meet later this week in Washington for talks to end their 15-month trade war. Tensions mounted after U.S. administration expanded its blacklist on Monday (October 7) by adding 28 Chinese entities, including top artificial intelligence startups, over human rights concerns.
    The initial blacklisting on Huawei, the world's biggest telecoms gear maker, blocked the company from buying parts and components from U.S. companies without U.S. government approval, limiting its access to essential technologies such as Google Mobile Services.
