Federal Communications Chair Ajit Pai has issued a final warning about Chinese telcos at the end of a tenure spent cracking down on companies like Huawei, ZTE and China Telecom. Pai posits that these companies are reportedly controlled by the Chinese government and are suspected to have backdoors and other loopholes built into the products to allow the Chinese to spy on Americans. Huawei and ZTE also remain top movers in the 5G network-building space worldwide. In June, the Trump administration designated Huawei as backed by China’s military as a national security threat.
