A new House of Representatives measure would direct the Department of Homeland Security to give lawmakers more information on potential cybersecurity threats posed by Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE. The “resolution of inquiry” introduced by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., would task DHS with giving the committee an assessment of cyber risks introduced by any use of ZTE products on federal, state, and local government networks. U.S. intelligence officials have warned of the risk of cyber-espionage from ZTE due to its alleged ties to the Chinese government, and the U.S. government has fined the company for violating U.S. sanctions on Iran and North Korea.

Security researchers recently found a hacking group with suspected ties to the Chinese government engaged in what appears to be corporate espionage against multiple U.S. companies. The findings underscore an emerging, albeit opaque trend in which hackers linked to Beijing are conducting economic, cyber-enabled espionage, despite the Chinese Communist Party agreeing to stop such activity against the U.S. as part of a 2015 agreement between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S President Barack Obama.
