CHINA-US: U.S. RESCINDS LICENCE FOR CHINA TELECOM TO OPERATE IN U.S
In a long-expected move, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) unanimously agreed to
rescind the license for the state-run firm China Telecom to operate in the United States, citing security risks.
The Biden administration hasn’t shown the same level of enthusiasm as its predecessor for picking new
Chinese technology targets, but it hasn’t backed off, either. Foreign Policy observed (October 28) that the
FCC vote and other reports show, anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) action remains one of very few
areas of strong bipartisan agreement in Washington.
