The FCC plans to investigate Chinese companies doing business in the U.S. for failing to follow restrictions placed on them.
The FCC is investigating the U.S. operations of several Chinese telecom firms such as Huawei, ZTE, and China Telecom. The U.S. regulatory agency is concerned that the Chinese companies are not following the restrictions placed on their U.S. businesses. Both Huawei and ZTE are huge suppliers of telecom equipment to rural wireless providers in the U.S. The FCC is also looking at wireless provider China Mobile International USA and the U.S. units of wireless firms China Telecom and China Unicom.
The regulatory agency wants to see information showing in detail how the targeted companies are running their operations in the U.S. One goal that the FCC has is to determine whether the companies that are being targeted by the FCC are able to bypass U.S. restrictions thanks to help from other companies.
