ICYMI – US authorities have revoked the authorization for China Telecom to operate in US

News

China Telecom’s U.S. subsidiary has been given 60 days to discontinue U.S. services after nearly 20 years of operating in the country.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted on Tuesday voted to revoke authorization to operate, citing national security concerns:

  • FCC said China Telecom “is subject to exploitation, influence, and control by the Chinese government and is highly likely to be forced to comply with Chinese government requests without sufficient legal procedures subject to independent judicial oversight.”
  • which rasies “significant national security and law enforcement risks by providing opportunities” for the company and the Chinese government “to access, store, disrupt, and/or misroute U.S. communications.”
