Earlier we reported that China will ban the use of iPhones and devices manufactured by foreign companies from being used by their civil servants. Not limited there, these devices are also not allowed to be brought into the office. Today Bloomberg reports that the ban on non-local brand devices will be extended to government-owned agencies, organizations and companies.
At this time it is not known what agencies and government-owned companies will enforce this directive. The day's report comes a day after the United States announced it wanted to investigate the Kirin 9000s chip used in the Huawei Mate 60 Pro and Mate 60 because it is believed to be using banned technology.
Huawei and SMIC are believed to be using technology blocked by the United States to produce 7nm chips that have brought back 5G support to Huawei devices over the past two years. As a result, Huawei, which used to be the world's second largest smartphone manufacturer, is no longer in the top five.
The technology war between China and the United States resulted in Huawei, ZTE and DJI being included in the list of entities by the United States Department of Commerce. Sales of AMD and NVIDIA-made intelligence chips to China have also been barred for national security reasons. China's actions can be seen as retaliation
