US President Donald Trump is preparing to sign an executive order next
week, banning American carriers from using equipment from Chinese
technology players, the media reported on Sunday.
The decision is
expected to be announced ahead of the Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona from February 25, the Android Police reported.
"Both
the White House and Congress have been trying to ban networking
infrastructure from Chinese companies for months," the report said.
Chinese
tech giant Huawei has been in bad light after the US Justice Department
last month filed a host of criminal charges, including bank fraud,
obstruction of justice and theft of technology against the company and
its detained Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou.
Apart from Huawei, ZTE has also been listed to be banned from being used by network operators in the US.
The
US has long suspected and often accused the Chinese government of
encouraging trade secret theft as a way to build up its own industries
which has reportedly prompted the US administration to take such drastic
measures.
"Government officials are mainly targeting Huawei and
ZTE's network infrastructure business, so the sale of phones and
tablets to US consumers would likely not be affected," the report said.
Earlier
in January, an Apple engineer of Chinese origin -- Jizhong Chen -- was
found to have been attempting to leak confidential intellectual
information about the company's secret autonomous vehicle programme to a
China-based autonomous vehicle company where he had applied for a job
as well.
