The U.S. Justice Department and other federal agencies on Thursday called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to revoke China Telecom (Americas) Corp's authorization to provide international telecommunications services to and from the United States.
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Justice Department and other federal agencies on Thursday called on the Federal Communications Commission to revoke China Telecom Corp’s authorization to provide international telecommunications services to and from the United States.
China Telecom rejected the allegations and said it has “been extremely cooperative and transparent with regulators.” “We urge the United States to respect market economy principles, to cease its mistaken practices of generalizing national security and politicizing economic issues, and to cease unjustifiable oppression of Chinese companies,” Foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters during a daily briefing.
Those included concerns that China Telecom could be controlled or influenced by China’s government. The agencies also said China Telecom’s U.S. operations might allow Chinese government entities “to engage in malicious cyber activity enabling economic espionage and disruption and misrouting of U.S. communications.”
