WASHINGTON—A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers introduced bills on Jan. 16 that would ban the sale of U.S. chips or other components to Huawei, ZTE, or other Chinese telecommunications companies that violate U.S. sanctions or export control laws.
Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Mike Gallagher, both Republicans, along with Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Rep. Ruben Gallego, both Democrats, introduced the measures, which would require the U.S. president to ban the export of U.S. components to any Chinese telecommunications company that violates U.S. sanctions or export control laws.
