REUTERS: Huawei Technologies Co Ltd is considering numerous layoffs in the US as China's telecom equipment company wrestles with its US blacklist, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people close to the case.
The layoffs are expected to affect the jobs of Futurewei Technologies, the US-based Huawei-based research and development subsidiary that employs approximately 850 people in research labs in the United States, the newspaper said.
The layoffs could be hundreds, said a person in the Journal. Another person added that Huawei's Chinese employees in the United States had the opportunity to go home and stay with the company.
Last week, US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross said the US government would issue licenses to companies seeking to sell goods to Huawei, which was blacklisted, without threat to national security.
Huawei did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
