Why it's done now when no new sweeping sanctions were introduced? Was Linux Foundation "circumventing" sanctions for many-many months?

The US also has active sanctions targeting Huawei, but there is a fair number of people in the maintainers list with Huawei e-mails. Double standards much?

UPD: As expected, downwotes is the only response to those questions.

If you think sanctions are placed and enforced with lightning speed in every situation then the answer is no.

But you're just after whataboutism, since Huawei is decoupling from Linux themselves[1]

The sanction lists are updated quite regularly. When it's reported in the media isn't when the sanctions actually start, and when you've forgotten about it isn't when they stop changing or increasing.
