The leaders of a bipartisan congressional committee on China asked that the administration subject Huawei’s US unit, Futurewei Technologies, to the same restrictions as its Chinese parent, according to a letter they sent to the leaders of the departments of Commerce, Defense and Treasury, as well as the Federal Communications Commission chairman.
