US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday the government wanted to know the precise composition of the processor in Huawei s Mate 60 Pro, which a teardown conducted for Bloomberg News revealed was just a few years behind the current generation and made by US-blacklisted Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.
Huawei unexpectedly unveiled the latest Mate 60 Pro smartphone last week during US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo s visit in China, as the government readies a new $40-billion investment fund to bolster its developing chip sector.
