SANTA CLARA, Calif.—The U.S.-based research arm of China’s Huawei Technologies—Futurewei Technologies Inc—announced worker layoffs on July 22, according to two Futurewei employees.
The layoffs come about two months after the U.S. government put Huawei on a trade blacklist, making it illegal for its U.S. subsidiary to transfer sensitive technologies to its parent. The blacklist also restricts Huawei from purchasing products from U.S. technology companies.
