US Bans Chinese Telecom Kit Over National Security Concerns

The Federal Communications Commission has officially implemented the provisions of the Secure Equipment Act, signed into law last year and aimed at prohibiting communications equipment deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to national security.

"While we’ve flagged equipment as posing a national security risk, prohibited companies from using federal funds to purchase them, and even stood up programs to replace them, for the last several years the FCC has continued to put its stamp of approval on this equipment through its equipment authorization process," explains FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel.

"Specifically, under the rules we adopt today pursuant to the Secure Equipment Act, the FCC will no longer authorize equipment that is on the Covered List because it poses an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the safety of United States persons." When it comes to Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua, the ban technically only applies to equipment designed 'for the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes', potentially allowing a loophole for equipment supplied to small businesses or consumers.

"For these three companies, we will require them to document what safeguards they will put in place on marketing or sale for these purposes and we are putting in place a freeze on all of their telecommunications and video surveillance equipment authorization applications until that work is done," says Rosenworcel.

What secrets are they likely to learn? Men like women? Women will do almost anything for their men and children? How many Chinese are in western universities? They aren't going to learn secret stuff in those places?

An empty WH!
