The Chinese telecommunications giant is asking a court to overturn the Federal Communications Commission\u2019s decision to label it a national security threat, accusing the agency of overstepping its authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe order on review potentially impacts the financial interests of the telecommunications industry as a whole,\u201d reads the request filed with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday.<\/p>\n

Huawei has consistently pushed back on allegations that it poses a security threat, arguing that the decisions to punish it have been grounded in anti-Chinese sentiment rather than fact.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration has yet to make its stance on Huawei clear, not committing on whether the company will be removed from the Commerce Department\u2019s entity list.<\/p>\n

DOUBTS FROM WITHIN:\u00a0<\/strong>Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Chinese tech giant Huawei, said Tuesday he doesn\u2019t expect the Biden administration to lift sanctions former President Trump imposed on the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t say it\u2019s impossible, but it\u2019s extremely unlikely. We basically aren\u2019t considering it a possibility,\u201d Ren told reporters at a news conference, according to\u00a0The Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zhengfei said Huawei will not likely be removed from the Commerce Department’s sanctions list, a designation which ended the company’s ability to purchase processor chips and other smartphone parts manufactured in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Republicans have been pushing to keep the company on the list, with GOP senators putting pressure on Biden\u2019s Commerce secretary nominee, current Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo (D), over her comments on Huawei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
