A U.S. Commerce Department subpoena looking into Huawei’s sales in U.S.-sanctioned countries like North Korea poses a serious threat to China’s most successful tech company.
In the subpoena sent to Huawei, the Commerce Department is demanding information about the company’s exports to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria, in order to determine whether Huawei broke U.S. sanctions, the New York Times reported yesterday. The news comes three months after U.S. officials punished another Chinese IT giant, ZTE ZTCOY -3.82% , for violating sanctions to Iran.
