Trump govt to block China Mobile in the US citing national security risks

Firstpost  

The United States is set to impose tariffs on $34 billion worth of goods from China on July 6. The US government moved on 2 July to block China Mobile from offering services to the US telecommunications market, recommending its application be rejected because the government-owned firm posed national security risks. The Federal Communications Commission should deny China Mobile’s 2011 application to offer telecommunication services between the United States and other countries, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration said in a statement posted on its website. “After significant engagement with China Mobile, concerns about increased risks to US law enforcement and national security interests were unable to be resolved,” said the statement, which quoted David Redl, assistant secretary for communications and information at the US Department of Commerce, which NTIA is part of. The move by US President Donald Trump’s administration on China Mobile comes amid growing trade frictions between Washington and Beijing.
