One of the United States’ top universities is Frauen ohne Unschuldcutting ties with Huaweiand ZTE.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) made the decision to terminate its existing relationships, as well as suspend future ones, with the two Chinese tech giants.

At this time, based on this enhanced review, MIT is not accepting new engagements or renewing existing ones with Huawei and ZTE or their respective subsidiaries due to federal investigations regarding violations of sanction restrictions,” says the letter. “The Institute will revisit collaborations with these entities as circumstances dictate.”
In addition to ending its relationships with Huawei and ZTE, certain proposals deemed “elevated-risk” will need special administrative review. These elevated-risks include “projects funded by people or entities from China (including Hong Kong), Russia and Saudi Arabia.” These new requirements also cover work involving MIT faculty or students in these countries as well as projects involving individuals or organizations from these countries.

According to the South China Morning Post, Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Minnesota have all suspended future research work with Huawei.
Tensions between China and the U.S. are running due in part to President Trump’s trade warwith the country. Even dating apps like Grindrhaven’t been spared from the ramifications.
Beyond Trump’s trade war, U.S. intelligence officials have repeatedly accused Huawei and ZTE of spyingfor the Chinese government. These national security issues have prompted President Trump to ban government useof the two China-based companies’ products.
U.S. authorities even conducted a sting operationon Huawei at this year’s CES after the company allegedly attempting to steal an American company’s technology. That very same month, the U.S. also chargedthe Huawei with attempting to steal trade secrets from T-Mobile.
On top of all that, as previously mentioned, both Huawei and ZTE have been under federal investigations for sanctions violations.
Earlier this year, Huawei, along with top executives, were chargedwith fraud and money laundering related to violations of U.S. sanctions on Iran.
As part of a plea deal, ZTE faced a 7-year supplier banin the U.S. after being charged with violating sanctions on Iran and North Korea. Interestingly enough, Trump intervened to end the ban after the company said the ban would effectively killits business.
The relationship between the U.S. government and these Chinese tech companies doesn’t look to get better anytime soon either. In response to its products being banned in the U.S., Huawei recently announced that it will sue the U.S. government.
Don’t be surprised if more universities join MIT and the other school’s that have decided to stop working with Huawei, ZTE, and other Chinese-based companies.
