"Selling chips to Huawei, a small amount of chips - less than $1 billion a year - in the short run is small in the scheme of things," Navarro said. Specifically, the Treasury in mid-May included Huawei on a black list preventing US firms from selling original components - that is, computer chips - to it without prior administration approval, given the suspicions that China's leader in developing next-generation 5G Internet technology could use those systems for espionage.
