But despite being an independent company, it seems that now Honor cannot live in peace because they are now in danger of being blacklisted again in the United States. It is reported that 14 members of the US House of Representatives from the Republican Party asked the US Department of Commerce to blacklist Honor on August 6. Michael McCaul, who is the chairman of the lawmaker, said that Honor was a divestment from Huawei, so the company should also be watched out for and put on an economic blacklist. Honor is accused of breaking away with Huawei in order to try to circumvent export control policies in the US and this they do not agree to because technology and software made by US companies will again be in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. A spokesman from the US Department of Commerce also said that it would conduct a review stage to decide whether Honor would be blacklisted like Huawei or not.
