Huawei packages being misrouted by FedEx

Chinese authorities intend to investigate several incidents in the last month where packages containing Huawei smartphones have failed to be delivered to their intended destinations in the US.

One of the packages was intended for PC Magazine in the US, which wanted to review Huawei's latest P30 Pro smartphone.

PC Magazine ask its UK writer to send over the phone from London to its US office in New York, but it was returned to sender, and the magazine was told that the writer was not allowed to do this because of a "US government issue" with Huawei and the Chinese government.

FedEx has apologised, saying that the packages were not delivered due to an "operational error".

It added that it would continue to deliver all products made by Huawei to US addresses, with the exception of Huawei addresses and other partner addresses that had been placed on a US national security blacklist.

The value of Bitcoin soared by more than 10% over the weekend, hitting $11,247.63 on Sunday - its highest price since March 2018.

Last week, Facebook announced that it plans to launch a new digital currency called Libra in 2020.

The crypto-currency would enable people to make payments with the currency via its own apps, as well as on messaging service WhatsApp.

Firms such as Uber and Visa are also likely to accept it in future, it said.

But there have been concerns about how people's money and data will be protected, as well as over the potential volatility of the currency.

Facebook said Libra would be independently-managed and backed by real assets, and that paying with it would be as easy as texting.
