China bans US telecom operators to “abuse of power”

On Thursday, China accused the United States of “abuse of power”, referring to a “security risk” that prevented two Chinese telecommunications companies from operating on its territory.

The US decision was made amid tensions and technology competition between Beijing and Washington.

China's foreign affairs spokesman Zhao Lejian said that the United States “clearly pushes the boundaries of national security concepts and abuses national authorities to put Chinese enterprises at the bottom.”

“This is a serious violation of international economic and trade rules that undermine the rights and interests of consumers, including US users,” he said at a press conference.

The United States Telecommunications Agency (FCC) announced on Wednesday that it would revoke the license of the Chinese company Pacific Networks and its subsidiary Comnet to protect its home network from “security risks”, which was announced.

These companies must terminate their activities in the United States within 60 days.

The Federal Communications Commission has already stated in March 2021 that the Pacific Network and FORMATED do not meet the required transparency and security requirements.

The investigation concludes that these companies are “US subsidiaries of entities controlled by the Chinese government, vulnerable to the exploitation, influence and control of the Chinese government, forcing them to comply with the requirements of the Chinese government” to national security of the country. unity
