Chip maker Intel has obtained a license from the US authorities to further supply some of its products to the Chinese company Huawei. A spokesman for the American company said this, according to Reuters. Huawei is in the midst of growing tensions between China and the United States. Washington is trying to get governments from other countries to avoid working with the Chinese telecommunications giant and is preventing American companies from doing so.

This week, the China Securities Journal wrote that Intel had obtained permission from the authorities to supply Huawei. The Chinese company Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, which uses American equipment to make chips for Huawei and other companies, also announced last week that it also asked the authorities for permission to continue supplying Huawei.

Huawei was founded in 1987 by a former engineer of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. The company denies US allegations of espionage for Beijing, saying the US is trying to tarnish it because Western companies are lagging behind in the 5G technology it offers.

In the Czech Republic, according to the media, this world’s largest manufacturer of telecommunications equipment has not recently obtained a secret security clearance from the National Security Office. However, it does not need a check for cooperation with Czech operators in building 5G mobile networks in the country. In 2018, the National Office for Cyber and Information Security warned against the use of software and hardware from Huawei.
