According to Reuters, on the 26th local time, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revoked the authorization of China Telecom Americas to provide interstate and international communication services in the United States on the grounds of so-called "major national security risks".
Reuters said the decision by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) meant that China Telecom Americas must stop its services in the United States within 60 days from now on. China Telecom has been authorized to provide telecommunications services in the United States for nearly 20 years.
The FCC alleges that they believe that China Telecom is influenced and controlled by the Chinese government and is likely to be forced to comply with the requirements made by the Chinese government without going through adequate legal process of independent judicial oversight. This poses a significant risk to U.S. "national security and law enforcement."
A spokesperson for China Telecom Americas said: "This decision by the US Federal Communications Commission is disappointing, and we plan to explore all possible options while continuing to serve our customers."
As China's state-owned communications enterprises, China Telecom and China Unicom have long been "targeted" by the United States. Reuters pointed out that in April 2020, the US Federal Communications Commission warned that it might shut down the US operations of China Telecom Americas and China Unicom Americas, citing so-called "national security" risks. At the end of the same year, the New York Stock Exchange announced the launch of delisting procedures for China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom.
