Senate Bill Proposes Further Restrictions on Huawei and ZTE
Senate Bill S-1 is currently pending in the Committee, which is expected to take up the measure this week. The proposed sanctions include a block of U. aid to Huawei, as well as a prohibition of imports from ZTE, a Chinese company known for its high-tech infrastructure. The ban on imports comes after a U. law enforcement official said the Chinese government also wants to ban access to the encrypted part of Google’s Android operating system. ” “In addition, the bill would ban U. entities and financial institutions from using cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. ” The sanctions would take effect immediately. “The Senate bill would also direct all of the Committee’s staff to work on research for a possible ban on the U. providing any assistance to Huawei. The Senate bill also calls for the Administration to create a new special procedure for investigating the companies and other entities under review, such as companies tied to the Chinese government. ” It would also impose a ban on the use of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. The legislation is unlikely to be enacted in the near term due to President Trump’s veto on the measure. The bill could also be repealed or amended in the future, according to the article. The US government has faced criticism over the arrest of Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei following a raid by U. authorities. The Senate bill would require the Treasury Department to consider the “affiliation” of any company under investigation for links to the Chinese government or for violations of Chinese law. The bill also requires that the U. give the Chinese government access to any intelligence in its possession about companies tied to the Chinese government. The administration would then decide among a number of options before the Treasury Department can sanction and investigate a company. The bill would also impose a ban on the use of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. would be given until October 31, 2018 to make any required payments and provide an additional 90 days to inform the Chinese government. The Treasury Department had refused to provide Chinese companies operating in the U. with a list of U. companies with ties to the Chinese government on the grounds that they would be unable to provide assistance to help in enforcing U.
Senate Bill Proposes Further Restrictions on Huawei and ZTE
A bill filed today has the potential to further restrict Huawei and ZTE’s activities. The bill proposed by Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John Ensign would impose a series of restrictions and limits on the companies’ operations. Specifically, the bill would (1. ) ban the use of the words “government” and “national security” in or on any of the companies’ marketing materials unless explicitly stated; (2. ) ban the use of the words “commercial” and “commercial interests” in or on any of the companies’ marketing materials; (3. ) allow the federal government and government contractors to deny entry to the United States to companies that do not meet the federal government’s requirements for U. citizenship or a U. passport; and (4. ) allow the Secretary of Homeland Security’s use of funds and resources to assist those companies in purchasing equipment from Huawei and others.
Huawei and ZTE have vigorously opposed Senator Ensign’s bill and are working with their supporters to get it defeated. We are proud that our companies have continued to support the Senate’s efforts to address the threats we face. This action by Senator Ensign and his colleagues serves as a reminder to companies that they can be subject to the highest levels of government scrutiny by federal law enforcement, intelligence, and intelligence-gathering agencies without regard for the privacy of their customers or the national security interests of the United States. We look forward to additional strong statements by the Senate and the President from our industry partners to reject this proposed legislation.
The Senate’s Commerce Committee’s Cybersecurity and Communications Subcommittee is expected to vote on the bill today (May 6). We are urging our partners and supporters to take action in support of Senator Ensign’s bill today to ensure our companies and customers continue to stand for what is right and protect our nation from threats that are beyond our control.
A bipartisan group of senators has introduced the Cybersecurity and Communications Subcommittee’s Internet Technology Reform Act of 2011. The bill would prohibit the U. government from using its economic and intelligence capabilities to block the use of international telecommunications services. The bill would also ban the use of international telecommunications services for the government to spy on or monitor communications between the United States and its embassies, consulates, and other U.
FCC finalizes plans to remove Chinese Telecom Gear and replace them.
‘A new era of innovation in the United States is under way.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved its plan to bring back the Chinese telecommunications gear that it originally banned before the World Trade Organization (WTO), the USTR news service has reported.
The FCC plans to take back the “unapproved” gear, which the commission had ordered be returned to China, said the news service. The original order, issued in January 2016, was the latest in a series of actions by the commission against Chinese telecommunications companies. The latest action came in the form of a draft complaint to Washington by Qualcomm Inc, the largest equipment maker of mobile chips in China, against the commission’s plans. Qualcomm’s move led the commission to announce that its plans will be modified to allow all telecoms companies to continue to use gear that has not been approved by the commission.
In the draft complaint, however, the commission has proposed to remove “unapproved and infringing” telecommunications gear. This would represent a setback for Qualcomm, which had hoped to replace the gear it was banned from selling and use. The commission also plans to remove more “unapproved and infringing” gear if “all” Chinese telecommunications companies are allowed to do so.
“The Commission expects it will take all necessary actions to ensure that current wireless standards are continued and improved in the course of the U. market,” the proposed complaint stated.
The new draft complaint added that the FCC would be able to review the “implementation” of China’s requirements to keep the gear off of the market.
The draft complaint is the culmination of seven years of work by the commission and the USTR. The FCC’s work to address the issue started after another Chinese telecommunications company, Huawei, was targeted for punishment by the commission in 2016 after U. authorities accused it of stealing trade secrets.
Huawei is an international design and manufacturing company based in China, and its equipment helps smartphones and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices work.
In March 2016, the commission also banned the sale of Huawei’s chips in the United States.
The Secure Equipment Act of 2021: A Bipartisan Measure to Protect Huawei and ZTE from doing business with U.S. companies.
The Secure Equipment Act of 2021: A Bipartisan Measure to Protect Huawei and ZTE from doing business with U. By William J. Campbell, C. The legislation [PDF] would ban Huawei and ZTE from doing business with U. technology suppliers, unless they can demonstrate a need for government-supplied equipment. The Secure Equipment Act of 2021 provides for voluntary commitments by U. companies, as well as for government sanctions against a company that fails to meet the requirements. Both are opposed in the Huawei case by Huawei. The President of the United States, through the Department of Commerce, has provided the necessary authority in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding to issue a broad, unbroken ban on doing business with entities within the United States owned or controlled by and regulated by Huawei or ZTE. In the case of ZTE, this provides for a ban on foreign companies doing business with any entity of a U. state or political subdivision of a U. state that is controlled or regulated by ZTE, unless the company makes adequate efforts to comply with applicable U. and applicable foreign laws, including those related to security, trade, and intellectual property rights. A similar provision is included for ZTE in Section 403 of the Patriot Act. The bill and its accompanying memorandum of understanding must be signed by the President, and the President has already indicated his intention to sign it. The bill must be approved by the Senate and the House.
(1) In general. Any of the entities within the United States that are owned or controlled by or regulated by any of the named entities in paragraph 1 are liable to a civil damages action. Under existing law, the liability is to be enforced without regard to the identity of the entities. However, this section provides that the liability will be limited and limited to the extent the conduct is in violation of applicable U. Paragraph 1 includes a reference to existing law as it applies to the ZTE case.
Tips of the Day in Network Security
Security researchers at the University of Washington Internet Engineering and Security department have identified a new threat that recently began ramping up attacks in the financial sector.
The new virus appears to have already attacked at least five companies that offer online banking services, an online brokerage, or other financial applications in the United States. Some of these victims have been shut down for several months. Others have experienced substantial damage and will be out of business for some time.
The researchers, who specialize in developing exploits for the new malware, said the virus uses the “Mixed Content” feature of the Windows malware family, a feature that allows it to infect many computers simultaneously.
These infections have been taking over computers across the United States for the past month, with the latest infections occurring in the financial sector. While no actual money is lost, the virus does cause significant damage.
The researchers say they are still seeking details on where it originated and what, if any, risk it poses to victims.
