The U.S. Commerce Department may soon scale back restrictions on Huawei Technologies after this week』s blacklisting made it nearly impossible for the Chinese company to purchase goods made in the United States, a department spokeswoman said on Friday.

在本周華為被列入黑名單後，該公司幾乎不可能購買在美國生產的商品，美國商務部發言人周五表示，它們可能很快就會縮減針對華為的貿易限制。

The Commerce Department may issue a temporary general license to allow time for companies and people who have Huawei equipment to maintain reliability of their communications networks and equipment, the spokeswoman said.

這位發言人透露，美國商務部可能會簽發一張臨時通用許可證，以便讓擁有華為設備的（美國）企業和個人能夠繼續保持其通訊網路和設備的穩定性。

The possible general license would not apply to new transactions, according to the spokeswoman, and would last for 90 days.

根據這位發言人的說法，這份可能簽發的通用許可證將不適用於新的交易，有效期只有90天。

A spokesman for Huawei did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

華為發言人沒有立即回應記者的置評請求。

The Commerce Department on Thursday added Huawei to a list of entities that are banned from doing business with U.S. companies without licenses.

美國商務部周四時將華為列入了禁止在沒有許可證的情況下與美國公司開展業務的「實體清單」。

The entities list identifies companies believed to be involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.

美國認定的可能參與違反美國國家安全或外交政策利益活動的公司都會被列入到這份「實體清單」中。

Potential beneficiaries of the temporary license could include internet access and mobile phone service providers in thinly populated places such as Wyoming and eastern Oregon that purchased network equipment from Huawei in recent years.

這一臨時許可的潛在受益者可能包括懷俄明州和俄勒岡州東部等人口稀少地區的互聯網接入和行動電話服務提供商。這些地區近年來從華為購買了網路設備。
