Huawei has repeatedly denied it is controlled by the Chinese government, military or intelligence services. It has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government over the restrictions in the defense policy bill.
It will allow agencies some ability to grant waivers through Aug. 13, 2021, for contractors where security is not at issue, the official said.
