US Secretary of State Pompeo says to impose visa curbs on Huawei over rights
Washington DC: U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday the United States would impose visa restrictions on Chinese companies like Huawei Technologies Co Ltd , which he accused of facilitating human right violations.
Pompeo told a news conference the State Department would "impose visa restrictions on certain employees of Chinese technology companies like Huawei that provide material support to regimes engaging in human rights violations and abuses globally."
Pompeo also said that "Faster is always better to get this equipment out of their system. It's a security risk. This isn't about commercial interests. This is about protecting the information, in this case, of the United Kingdom's people." in terms of getting Huawei out of telecoms infrastructure when asked about British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's order that Huawei equipment be purged completely from Britain's 5G network by the end of 2027.
