The U.S. Commerce Department made moves Monday to limit the activities of eight Chinese companies in the U.S., citing human rights abuses and surveillance against Uighurs and other Chinese Muslim minorities. The department said it is adding the companies to its Entity List, which identifies people, businesses or other organizations for “engaging in activities contrary to U.S. national security and/or foreign policy interests.” Although the department names human rights abuses as the primary concern in its latest action, some of the eight companies have also come under federal scrutiny in recent months for security issues. Just two months ago the Trump administration issued a rule to bar federal purchases of telecommunications equipment from two of the companies added to the list this week, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd., a former Chinese government research arm, and Dahua Technology. Those earlier moves were done in accordance with the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. Another company added to the Entity List this week, Xiamen […]

Despite the fact that the United States and China are currently in the middle of a 90-day “cease fire” in their ongoing trade war, with new tariffs on hold until March 2019 while the two countries try to reach agreement, not everyone is waiting around to see who comes out on top.

On Monday, the Trump administration moved to block a large Chinese telecommunications company from entering the U.S. market, recommending that its application be rejected on national security grounds. China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile operator, had sought to move into the U.S. cell phone and communication services space. In 2011, the company filed an application to U.S. regulators at the Federal Communications Commission for a license to do business in the United States. In a statement released Monday, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should deny China Mobile’s application. “After significant engagement with China Mobile, concerns about increased risks to US law enforcement and national security interests were unable to be resolved,” David Redl, the assistant secretary for communications and information at the Commerce Department, said in NTIA’s statement. The NTIA is an arm of the Commerce Department that advises the White House […]

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., told CyberScoop Thursday at a national security conference that the government is holding classified briefings to warn private companies of the intelligence concerns. He said the companies that have been briefed are aware of the concerns, but are also “prioritizing market access.” “I think it’s important for us to do what we can to warn people about the threat,” Rubio said. “I think some of those companies are aware of [the intelligence concerns], but they make the decision that they’ll worry about that later. They want access to 1.3 billion people.” The news comes as the Trump administration is trying to persuade lawmakers to drop their opposition to a trade deal that would revive ZTE’s access […]
