The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has officially recognized the Chinese Huawei and ZTE telecommunications companies as a national security threat.
The decision came into effect on June 30.
Washington is pushing its allies to take similar harsh action against Chinese firms.
In the wake of U.S. sanctions, Huawei, which was accused of collaborating with Chinese intelligence agencies and spying on users, decided to sell the Honor subsidiary for US$15.2 billion.
