China Unicom Americas Is Separate Entity, CEO of Parent Tells FCC

China Unicom Americas (CUA) is a separate legal entity following U.S. laws, and authorizations shouldn’t be revoked because of broader international concerns, China Unicom Chairman-CEO Wang Xiaochu said in a letter to the five FCC commissioners. All subsidiaries “must operate in compliance with the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which they operate,” Wang said in a filing posted Tuesday in FCC docket 20-110. The FCC is considering revoking the authorizations of four companies with ties to China, including CUA (see 2004240046).
