The United States has said it will commence the ban the sales of communications equipment manufactured by Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE.

 

There was also restricted the use of some China-made video surveillance systems, citing an “unacceptable risk” to national security, according to BBC on Saturday.

 

On Friday the US five-member Federal Communications Commission disclosed its has  resolved to get new rules that will block the importation or sale of certain technology products that are a threat to security to US critical infrastructure.

 

The measure was the latest in the years-long escalation of US restrictions on Chinese technology that began with President Donald Trump and has continued under President Joe Biden’s administration.

 

“The FCC is committed to protecting our national security by ensuring that untrustworthy communications equipment is not authorized for use within our borders, and we are continuing that work here,” said FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement.

 

The FCC’s order was applicable to future authorisations of equipment, though the agency leaves open the possibility it could revoke previous approvals.

 

“Our unanimous decision represents the first time in FCC history that we have voted to prohibit the authorisation of new equipment based on national security concerns,” tweeted Brendan Carr, a Republican FCC commissioner.

 

Carr added that as “a result of our order, no new Huawei or ZTE equipment can be approved. And no new Dahua, Hikvision, or Hytera gear can be approved unless they assure the FCC that their gear won’t be used for public safety, security of government facilities, and other national security purposes.”

 

Hikvision said in a statement that its video products “present no security threat” to the U.S. but the FCC’s decision “will do a great deal to make it more harmful and more expensive for US small businesses, local authorities, school districts, and individual consumers to protect themselves, their homes, businesses and property.”

  1. Winston here from Iowa. I just wanted to see if you need an extra hand in the way of site upkeep/tweaking, adding emails to your newsletters from my targeted database (I have millions of them that you can use). I could even setup email campaigns for lead generation emailing at no extra cost to you to send out using my mail servers. Unique blog post material, extra traffic by getting others to start sharing your site across their own social media accounts, social media management, optimizing the site, create unique videos and images using Google AI, etc also help quite a bit. I can even post ads in every capital city in the country on CraigsList for any one of their 500 categories for some immediate traffic.

    I have quite a few ways I can set all of this up and do this for you. I don’t mean to impose, I was just curious. I’ve been doing this for 22+ years and was just wondering if you needed any extra help.

    All the best,

    Winston
