from the sales dept.

No requests for licenses to sell to the Chinese telecom have been issued to date, Reuters reports.

More than 130 applications have been submitted to the Commerce Department for licenses to sell US goods to Huawei, Reuters reported Tuesday. The report comes nearly two months after the Trump Administration said some sales to the embattled Chinese telecom would be allowed.

President Donald Trump effectively banned US companies from doing business with Huawei in May out of national security concerns that the company is too closely tied to the Chinese government. Huawei has repeatedly said those fears are unfounded.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross confirmed the process in July, but the Trump Administration has yet to issue any licenses, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The number of applications exceeds the 50 or so Ross said the department had received in July.

    The Huawei Honor 8x is a nice phone. There are dual SIM models which are popular in Asia.

    In my view my Samsung Galaxy S8 camera is better than yours, but the difference is close enough to be a matter of opinion.

    Your Huawei Honor 8x costs about $300 less* than my Samsung though, so providing the software supplied is good** you have a nice phone at a good price.

     

     

    * Local dollars.

    ** Not always the case. Some of the Chinese phone brands have awful default software. Can be fixed though I suppose.
