Job losses come two months after the Chinese technology company is put on a trade blacklist by Trump administration

Santa Clara — The US-based research arm of China’s Huawei Technologies, Futurewei Technologies, announced worker layoffs on Monday, according to two Futurewei employees.

Futurewei has offices in Silicon Valley and the greater Seattle, Chicago and Dallas areas. Futurewei has filed more than 2,100 patents in such areas as telecommunications, 5G cellular networks, and video and camera technologies, according to data from the US patent and trademark office.The first Futurewei employee said work had come to a standstill since Huawei was blacklisted.

The Chinese telecommunications company partnered with a state-owned Chinese firm, Panda International Information Technology , on a number of projects in North Korea over at least eight years, the Post reported. Such a move would raise questions of whether Huawei, which has used US technology in its components, violated American export controls to furnish North Korea with equipment.
