Saturday, 29 January 2022 (YJC)_ The United States has revoked the license of China Unicom, China's state-owned telephone company.
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has unanimously revoked the license of China Unicom, the state-owned telephone company in China.
According to the FCC, the company must cease to operate in the United States and provide telecommunications services in that country within 60 days.
According to Rashatodi, Jessica Rosen Versell, chair of the US Federal Communications Commission, said:
Today, we take another important step to protect our communications networks from external national security threats.
He added:
There is growing evidence that Chinese state-owned companies are a real threat to the security of our telecommunications networks.
According to CNN, China Unicom has stated that it has complied with "relevant US laws and regulations" for the past two decades, and that the FCC has acted "without any valid reason and without taking the necessary legal steps."
The telecommunications company added:
Will take active action to protect the rights and interests of the company and its customers.
The action is the latest in a series of targeted technology and telecommunications companies over national security concerns.
