突發(fā):美國撤回對華為的某些芯片出貨許可,加強(qiáng)申請審核

2021-01-19

關(guān)鍵詞: 華為 芯片 美國

  據(jù)路透社報道,知情人士稱,特朗普政府通知包括芯片制造商英特爾在內(nèi)的華為供應(yīng)商,他們計劃吊銷其向華為出售芯片的某些許可證,并打算拒絕向該電信公司供應(yīng)產(chǎn)品的數(shù)十種其他申請。

  這項行動可能是共和黨總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)對華為技術(shù)公司設(shè)置的的最后一次障礙。這是他們削弱世界最大電信設(shè)備制造商的最新舉措。該公司稱,這是對美國國家安全和外交政策利益的威脅。

  這些通知是在特朗普執(zhí)政的最后幾天,美國針對中國的一連串動作中做出的。民主黨總統(tǒng)拜登將于周三宣誓就任總統(tǒng)。

  針對這件事,英特爾公司發(fā)言人沒有立即發(fā)表評論,商務(wù)部發(fā)言人也沒有立即發(fā)表評論請求。

  路透社從一個電子郵件中看到,半導(dǎo)體行業(yè)協(xié)會周五表示,商務(wù)部已發(fā)布“意圖拒絕大量出口至華為的許可證申請,并撤銷至少一份先前簽發(fā)的許可證。” 一位不愿透露姓名的知情人士說,其中有不止一次撤銷。一位消息人士稱,他們從四家公司拿回了八個授權(quán)(eight licenses were yanked from four companies.)。

  兩名消息人士稱,日本閃存芯片制造商Kioxia Corp被吊銷了至少一份許可證。該公司以前稱為東芝存儲公司,但他們并沒有回應(yīng)置評。

  半導(dǎo)體協(xié)會的電子郵件表示,這些行動涉及半導(dǎo)體行業(yè)的“廣泛產(chǎn)品”,并詢問公司是否已收到通知。

  該電子郵件指出,這些公司在過去幾個月內(nèi)一直在等待出貨許可,而在特朗普政府還不到一周的執(zhí)政時間里,應(yīng)對拒絕是一個挑戰(zhàn)。

  該半導(dǎo)體集團(tuán)的發(fā)言人沒有立即回應(yīng)置評請求。

  收到“拒絕意圖”通知的公司有20天的響應(yīng)時間,而商務(wù)部有45天的時間將決定中的任何更改告知公司,否則這些更改將成為最終決定。然后,公司將有45天的上訴時間。

  美國于2019年5月將華為列入商務(wù)部的“實體清單”,限制供應(yīng)商向該公司出售美國商品和技術(shù)。

  但是,在美國提高對該公司的限制時,某些銷售被允許,而其他銷售則被拒絕,包括擴(kuò)大美國的授權(quán)范圍,以要求獲得使用美國技術(shù)在國外制造的半導(dǎo)體的銷售許可。

  知情人士說,在采取最新行動之前,約有150項許可證正在申請價值1200億美元的商品和技術(shù),由于各種美國機(jī)構(gòu)無法就是否應(yīng)授予這些許可證達(dá)成共識,因此該許可證被擱置了。

  消息人士稱,還有2,800億美元的華為商品和技術(shù)許可尚未得到處理,但現(xiàn)在面臨被拒絕的可能性更高。

  8月的一條規(guī)則說,具有5G功能的產(chǎn)品可能會被拒絕,但是不太先進(jìn)的技術(shù)的銷售將視具體情況決定。

  消息人士說,從1月4日開始,美國在與商務(wù),州,國防和能源部的高級官員舉行的六次會議上做出了最新決定。該知情人士說,官員們制定了有關(guān)哪些技術(shù)可以支持5G的詳細(xì)指導(dǎo),然后應(yīng)用了該標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

  消息人士說,這樣做,官員們拒絕了大約150份有爭議的申請中的絕大多數(shù),并吊銷了八份許可證,以使這些申請與新的拒絕一致。

  在美國采取行動之前,美國商務(wù)部最近的特朗普任命人科里·斯圖爾特(Corey Stewart)施加了壓力,他在政府結(jié)束后被聘用了為期兩個月的代理人后,希望推行強(qiáng)硬的中國政策。

  美國在執(zhí)政期間以其他方式將華為作為目標(biāo)。華為首席財務(wù)官孟晚舟于2018年12月在美國被捕,在加拿大被捕。華為創(chuàng)始人的女兒孟和公司本身都被指控誤導(dǎo)銀行關(guān)于公司在伊朗的業(yè)務(wù)。

  孟說她是無辜的。華為否認(rèn)了其控訴,表示無罪。起訴書還包括違反美國對伊朗的制裁以及密謀竊取美國技術(shù)公司的商業(yè)秘密的指控。

  附路透社原文:

  NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration notified Huawei suppliers, including chipmaker Intel, that it is revoking certain licenses to sell to the Chinese company and intends to reject dozens of other applications to supply the telecommunications firm, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

  The action - likely the last against Huawei Technologies under Republican President Donald Trump - is the latest in a long-running effort to weaken the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker, which it says is a threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.

  The notices came amid a flurry of U.S. efforts against China in the final days of Trump's administration. Democrat Joe Biden will take the oath of office as president on Wednesday.

  An Intel Corp spokesman had no immediate comment, and a Commerce Department spokesman did not immediately return requests for comment.

  In an email seen by Reuters documenting the actions, the Semiconductor Industry Association said on Friday the Commerce Department had issued “intents to deny a significant number of license requests for exports to Huawei and a revocation of at least one previously issued license.” Sources familiar with the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there was more than one revocation. One of the sources said eight licenses were yanked from four companies.

  Japanese flash memory chip maker Kioxia Corp had at least one license revoked, two of the sources said. The company, formerly known as Toshiba Memory Corp, could not immediately be reached for comment.

  The semiconductor association's email said the actions spanned a “broad range” of products in the semiconductor industry and asked companies whether they had received notices.

  The email noted that companies had been waiting “many months” for licensing decisions, and with less than a week left in the administration, dealing with the denials was a challenge.

  A spokesman for the semiconductor group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

  Companies that received the “intent to deny” notices have 20 days to respond, and the Commerce Department has 45 days to advise the companies of any change in a decision or it then becomes final. Companies would then have another 45 days to appeal.

  The United States put Huawei on a Commerce Department “entity list” in May 2019, restricting suppliers from selling U.S. goods and technology to the company.

  But some sales were allowed and others were denied while the United States ratcheted up the restrictions against the company, including expanding U.S. authority to require licenses for sales of semiconductors made abroad with American technology.

  Before the latest action, some 150 licenses were pending for $120 billion worth of goods and technology, which had been held up because various U.S. agencies could not agree on whether they should be granted, a person familiar with the matter said.

  Another $280 billion of licenses for goods and technology for Huawei still have not been dealt with, the source said, but now face a higher likelihood of denial.

  An August rule said that products with 5G capabilities were likely to be denied, but sales of less sophisticated technology would be decided on a case-by-case basis.

  The United States made the latest decisions during a half dozen meetings starting on Jan. 4 with senior officials from the departments of Commerce, State, Defense and Energy, the source said. The officials developed detailed guidance with regard to which technologies were capable of 5G, and then applied that standard, the person said.

  By doing that, the officials denied the vast majority of the roughly 150 disputed applications, and revoked the eight licenses to make those consistent with the new denials, the source said.

  The U.S. action came after pressure from a recent Trump appointee in the Commerce Department, Corey Stewart, who wanted to push through hard-line China policies after being hired for a two-month stint in the agency at the end of the administration.

  The United States has targeted Huawei in other ways during the administration. Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer, was arrested in Canada in December 2018, on a U.S. warrant. Meng, the daughter of Huawei's founder, and the company itself were indicted for misleading banks about the company's business in Iran.

  Meng has said she is innocent. Huawei has denied the claims of spying and has pleaded not guilty to the indictment, which also includes charges of violating U.S. sanctions against Iran and conspiring to steal trade secrets from American technology companies.
