The US research arm of China's Huawei — called Futurewei Technologies — announced worker layoffs on Monday, according to two Futurewei employees.

Futurewei, which has offices in Silicon Valley and the greater Seattle, Chicago and Dallas areas, said it cut more than 600 jobs. The unit, set up in part to work with universities and researchers, recorded $510 million in operating costs last year. The trade blacklist has made it illegal for Futurewei to transfer sensitive technologies to its parent. The blacklist also restricts Huawei from purchasing products from American technology companies.
An employee not affected by the layoffs said work had come to a standstill since Huawei was blacklisted.
