FCC Releases Text of China Unicom Revocation Order

The FCC posted an order, approved 4-0 last week (see 2201270030), revoking China Unicom Americas' Section 214 authority to operate in the U.S. “Given the changed national security environment with respect to China since the Commission authorized CUA to provide telecommunications services in the United States, we find that CUA’s ties to the Chinese government -- together with Chinese laws obligating CUA and its direct and indirect parent entities to cooperate with requests by the Chinese government -- pose a clear and imminent threat to the security of the United States due to CUA’s access to U.S. telecommunications infrastructure,” said the docket 20-110 order, listed in Thursday’s Daily Digest.
