The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced it is banning telecommunications and video surveillance equipment from prominent Chinese brands, including Huawei and ZTE, citing an "unacceptable risk to national security".

The five-member FCC said on Friday it had voted unanimously to adopt new rules that will block the importation or sale of the targeted products.

"Our unanimous decision represents the first time in the FCC's history that we have voted to prohibit the authorization of communications and electronic equipment based on national security considerations," FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said in a statement on Friday.

My company has an extensive “do no buy from” list for surveillance, access control, and wireless equipment. Every single one of them are of Chinese manufacture.

Did Trump ban them, and then Biden unbanned on his first day in office?

You don’t have to worry about Apple I phones - the Chinese workers are too upset to make them.

Ultimately this is both parties and connected business interests pushing China out the moment of truth has come China has to be countered in some way.

Lloyd Austin was kissing up to the Chinese Defense Minister the other day supposedly defusing tensions over Taiwan.

There’s an end game here squeeze China out of technology in favor of Taiwan and the US etc. etc.

This is Bu$ine$$.

Eric Holcomb the Republican Indiana Globalist Governor went to Davos earlier this year and then later in the year he went to Taiwan to talk tech business for Indiana.

I have 2 cheap Chinese wireless security cameras that I bought a few years to see who was ringing the doorbell because the description said they worked with a PC, only to find out you had to have a smart phone. When the first one would not work they Chinese sellers gave me a better one for free, under the premise that I would leave a favorable review. I said I would IF it worked wirelessly with my PC (not just if connected with a Ethernet cable) , but which it did not. So all I could provide was a less than positive review, explaining the problem, but commending the customer service. Still have them.
