Also use ＂national security＂ to suppress Chinese enterprises! The United States revoked the authorization of two China telecom companies to operate in the United States

　　[Global Network Reporter Hou Jiaxin] According to Reuters’s 18th news, on March 17th, local time, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States indicated that it had begun to revoke the authorization of China Unicom Americas Company and Pacific Network Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary ComNet to provide telecommunications services in the United States.

　　Reuters: The Federal Communications Commission took action against two China telecom companies operating in the United States.

　　In a statement issued in official website, the FCC claimed that "promoting national security is an integral part of the Committee’s public interest responsibility, and today’s action aims to protect the country’s telecommunications infrastructure from potential security threats."

　　In the statement, the FCC described the above-mentioned enterprises as "indirectly and ultimately owned and controlled by the government of China", and declared that it was "concerned that the subsidiaries of state-owned enterprises in China are vulnerable to exploitation, influence and control by the government of China". The statement also claimed that the above-mentioned companies "failed to eliminate" the serious concerns of the US government about their authorization at this stage.

　　Since last year, the United States has never stopped containing China telecom enterprises. According to the report, the Federal Communications Commission of the United States issued an order in April 2020, warning that the operating licenses of China Unicom Americas, Pacific Network and China Telecom, three China state-owned telecommunications companies, may be revoked in the United States. In December of the same year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States took action against Huawei and China Telecom, indicating that it had begun to revoke the business authorization of China Telecom in the United States.

　　Just last week, on March 12th, local time, the Federal Communications Commission of the United States issued the latest "blacklist" according to a law promulgated in 2019 to protect the communication network of the United States, and identified five China companies as "a threat to the national security of the United States". These five companies are Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Hainengda and Dahua.

　　The United States has been cracking down on China’s telecommunications enterprises in a variety of ways to safeguard the so-called national security of the United States. In this regard, China has also responded many times.

　　Zhao Lijian, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, once said that the China government has always asked China enterprises to carry out foreign economic cooperation in accordance with market principles on the basis of compliance with laws and regulations, and at the same time, it also asked them to abide by local laws and regulations. "We urge the US to abide by the principles of market economy, stop the wrong practice of generalizing national security and politicizing economic issues, stop the unreasonable suppression of China enterprises, and provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory environment for China enterprises to invest and operate in the United States."
