U.S. imposes sanctions on employees of Huawei

WASHINGTON – The United States of America has imposed travel restrictions on employees of Huawei. The U.S took the decision believing that  Huawei is providing support for the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights abuses.

In a statement, Secretary of State, Michael R. Pompeo said  the State Department is imposing visa restrictions on certain employees of Chinese technology companies that provide material support to regimes engaging in human rights abuses globally.

“Under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, an alien is inadmissible to the United States if the Secretary of State has reason to believe the alien’s entry “would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.

“Companies impacted by today’s action include Huawei, an arm of the CCP’s surveillance state that censors political dissidents and enables mass internment camps in Xinjiang and the indentured servitude of its population shipped all over China.

“Certain Huawei employees provide material support to the CCP regime that commits human rights abuses”, the U.S said adding that Telecommunications companies around the world should consider themselves on notice: If they are doing business with Huawei, they are doing business with human rights abusers.

“We have been especially vocal about the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights abuses, which rank among the worst in the world”, the statement said.
