The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is currently conducting an investigation into Chinese entities that have been placed on the government’s prohibited list, seeking to determine whether companies such as Huawei, ZTE, and China Telecom continue to operate within the U.S. market through indirect or alternative means.
Previously, the U.S. government designated these firms as security threats, barring them from selling telecommunications equipment, video surveillance products, or offering related network services on American soil, in an effort to safeguard national security from untrusted technologies and providers.
Nevertheless, the FCC suspects that these blacklisted entities may still be engaging in business within the United States under different guises or through alternative lines of operation. The Commission has also raised concerns that such companies might be circumventing sanctions by working through private channels or unregulated intermediaries.
As part of its ongoing investigation, the FCC plans to gather additional intelligence concerning the current activities of these companies in the U.S., as well as to identify other firms that may be facilitating or supporting their business operations.
In a prior statement, the FCC reiterated its intention to reduce America’s reliance on foreign competitors in the technology and telecommunications sectors. This, the agency asserts, will help mitigate the risks posed by cyberattacks and espionage, while ensuring that the United States maintains a competitive edge in critical technologies.
