The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is preparing to introduce a new rule that would ban the use of Chinese technology and equipment in submarine communication cables connecting to the United States. This measure aims to address national security concerns by preventing potential Chinese espionage through undersea telecommunications infrastructure. The proposed ban targets companies on the FCC's list deemed threats to U.S. security, including Huawei, ZTE, China Telecom, and China Mobile. The rule is intended to secure critical communication links and accelerate investment in submarine cable infrastructure, particularly to support the expansion of artificial intelligence capabilities. The move reflects broader U.S. efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese technology amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
