FCC Threatens to Bar 3 Chinese State-Controlled Telecom Firms From Operating in US......
theepochtimes ^ | 4/24/2020 | BY CATHY HE

The agency on April 24 issued “show cause orders” to China Telecom Americas, China Unicom Americas, Pacific Networks Corp, and its wholly-owned subsidiary ComNet (USA) LLC, directing them to explain why the FCC shouldn’t start the process of revoking their authorizations to operate in the country.

...the order reflects “deep concern” among federal agencies about “these companies’ vulnerability to the exploitation, influence, and control of the Chinese Communist Party, given that they are subsidiaries of Chinese state-owned entities,” Pai said.

“No matter their cries to the contrary, these firms are beholden to the Chinese Communist Party, and their operation in the United States will continue to pose a threat to our critical networks as long as it continues,” Cotton said in a statement.

The FCC last May voted unanimously to deny another Chinese state-owned telecom company, China Mobile, the right to provide services in the United States, citing risks that the Chinese government could use such approval to conduct espionage against the U.S. government.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr recently told The Epoch Times that the agency is scrutinizing all Chinese companies currently participating in U.S. telecom networks.

The US has the best, most advanced telcom companies in the world, along with multiple foreign entities competing.

But NO Chinese company can be trusted to take out the trash, much less sit at the bedrock core of our networks.

To boot, China does not allow ANY foreign company into their networks.

Because they are smarter than our traitors in Congress.

EVERY Chinese owned US company should nationalized and given to the employees, with the same compensation to the ChiComs as they gave warning and travel restrictions to the wqorld. NEVER FORGET, WHO stated that the virus did not spread from person to person, among other lies they spittled for their Chinese master payers.

It’s a start.

Now if they would just scrutinize the RATagandists and “follow the money” I’m sure they would find the “drivebys” palms being greased with ChiCom cash.

Yank their licenses.

(lock them up)

Exactly. The Chinese state has been supplying fentanyl and the precursors for meth to Mexican drug cartels for years. Keep China out of America. They are at war with us, time to return the favor.

Start out with the assumption that all electronics/communications, rare earths/metals/minerals, and computers/home surveillance devices made in Red China ARE done so at the order of the CCP and the PLA.

Only then can you begin to understand what you are up against. Been through this re Soviet attempts to buy badly needed ball-bearing machines from the US which would greatly improve the accuracy of their ICBMs aimed at the US (Carter finally approved the sale of some of them, Bryant Chucking Company, if I remember the time sequence right - Stansfield Turner was the head of the CIA. Should have stayed in the Navy or some other organization. Worst CIA director we ever had until Traitor Brennan).
