U.S. authorities say the company is a security risk, which Huawei denies, and announced curbs in May on its access to American components and technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Trump administration announced a 90-day reprieve on some sales to Huawei. The government said that would apply to components and technology needed to support wireless networks in rural areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ren gave no details but Huawei confirmed in June it had cut 600 jobs at its Silicon Valley research center in Santa Clara, California, leaving about 250 employees. A Huawei spokesman said the company had no further comment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;The research and development center will move from the United States, and Canada will be the center,&#8221; Ren said in a video excerpt of the interview on the Globe and Mail website. &#8220;According to the U.S. ban, we couldn&#8217;t communicate with, call, email or contact our own employees in the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Huawei, China&#8217;s first global tech brand, is scrambling to preserve its business in the face of possible loss of access to U.S. components, which threatens to damage its smartphone business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Huawei, headquartered in the southern city of Shenzhen, also operates research and development centers in Germany, India, Sweden and Turkey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In November, Huawei started selling a folding smartphone, the Mate X, made without U.S.-supplied processor chips or Google apps. The company also has unveiled its own smartphone operating system it says can replace Google&#8217;s Android if necessary.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n<script>(function(d, s, id) {\r\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\r\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\r\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\r\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\r\n}(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));<\/script>\r\n <fb:comments href=\"https:\/\/english.thesunrisetoday.com\/index.php\/huawei-moving-us-research-center-to-canada\/\" font=\"arial\" num_posts=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" colorscheme=\"light\"  style=\"background:#FFFFFF;padding-top:0px;\r\npadding-right:0px;\r\npadding-bottom:0px;\r\npadding-left:0px;\r\nmargin-top:0px;\r\nmargin-right:0px;\r\nmargin-bottom:0px;\r\nmargin-left:0px;\r\n\"><\/fb:comments>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The founder of Huawei says the Chinese tech giant is moving its U.S. research center to Canada due to American sanctions on the company.
