The Trump administration moved to block shipments of semiconductors to Huawei Technologies from global chipmakers
The U.S. Commerce Department said it was amending an export rule to “strategically target Huawei’s acquisition of semiconductors that are the direct product of certain U.S. software and technology.”

This is US origin software and technology, even though the hardware and software is manufactured in Taiwan and elsewhere.
I am very happy with this news. Would love for the US to cauterize that tentacle of the CCP.

Huawei development team mails an HKSP (Huawei Kernel Self Protection) Linux patch with a backdoor to Linux Foundation, Huawei denies involvement
- So Huawei claims it had nothing to do with one of their senior engineers mailing Linux a patch with a backdoor.
A perfect recipe for introducing backdoors in gadgets. Last week Huawei development team submitted a patch to the Linux Foundation with a ‘trivial vulnerability.’ When the vulnerability was discovered, Huawei, as always, denied its involvement in the patch and said that its employees may be responsible.
Grsecurity stated that it found that HKSP repository owner was a Level 20 Principal Security employee in Huawei. Level 20 is the highest technical level within Huawei and it is not possible for such a high ranking official to publish a code without the knowledge of the parent organization
