According to foreign media reports, Lenovo has stopped supplying to Russia!
It’s reported that with the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, technology companies such as Intel, Dell, and Lenovo have decided to suspend shipments to Russia. This comes after the U.S. announced restrictions on shipments of technology products to Russia.
Earlier on Thursday, the Biden administration announced a series of new restrictions on technology products aimed at limiting Russia’s access to foreign goods such as semiconductors, computers, lasers and telecommunications equipment, as the New York Times reported.
The latest news shows that customers of many sanctioned Russian banks have been unable to use Apple Pay and Google Pay services.
Foreign netizens are surprised by Lenovo’s joining in US sanctions
A Russian market source revealed that some foreign computer makers believe that U.S. sanctions should not cover assembled personal computers, because some of these devices are not subject to export controls, so they may reconsider supply issues. At the same time, the person also pointed out that in recent years, the research and development of Russian microelectronics products has “made considerable progress” and is committed to replacing processors from Intel and AMD.
According to the New York Times report, White House officials said that allies of the European Union, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand have also announced plans to impose similar restrictions on technology exports. The Commerce Department added 49 Russian companies to a list of military suppliers that could face more restrictions on access to international expertise.
A senior official at the Center for a New American Security and former deputy assistant to the U.S. Trade Representative, Emily, suggested that the restrictions would freeze Russian technology at existing levels. She further stated that they would not be able to import new technologies. Meanwhile, William Reinsch, a trade expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former Commerce Department export official, said it was a slowly escalating impact that they would feel for some time.
