WASHINGTON - The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote next week on an annual defense bill that includes just over $3 billion for U.S. telecom companies to remove equipment made by Chinese telecoms firms Huawei and ZTE from American wireless networks to address security risks.
The US House of Representatives is set to vote on an annual defence bill to remove equipment made by Chinese telecoms firms Huawei and ZTE from American wireless networks to address security risks.
The 1,800-page text was released late on Dec 7 and includes other provisions aimed at China, including requiring a report on Chinese efforts to evade US national security regulations and an intelligence assessment of the current status of China’s biotechnology capabilities. Washington has aggressively urged US allies to purge Huawei and other Chinese gear from their wireless networks.
She has warned the lack of funding could result in some rural networks shutting down, which “could eliminate the only provider in some regions” and could threaten 911 service.
