The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plans to carry out a vote to establish New rules aimed to close more doors to China. Specifically, to not use its technology in submarine cables.
The United States is blind in its objective for becoming the greatest world power for the development of artificial intelligence infrastructure and is not willing to make the opposite country achieve its objective. Therefore, to stop your steps, It is covered in the well -known Law of Foreign Adversaries.
If it sounds like something, it is because it has already taken hold of it to stop Tiktok’s feet, a platform whose future is uncertain and whose definitive veto and passed through several extensions. Now, the FCC proposes to close a new door to China, by raising a vote on a new regulation that will prohibit the use of foreign technology in submarine cables.
This has advanced this body in a document in which it has explained how this measure is aligned With the policy promoted by Donald Trump of America first (America first), to protect themselves from the investments of foreign adversaries and, in particular, of the nation directed by Xi Jinping.
«Threatened» infrastructure
In the memorandum shared by the FCC, its president, Brendan Carr, explained that «submarine cables are the anonymous heroes of global communications,» because they are essential for both the United States and the world in general … and more at a time when AI is at the age of day.
With this, he has supported the letter of the American president that «economic security is national security» and has stated that, in recent years, the United States has seen its submarine cable infrastructure «threatened by foreign adversary, such as China.»
«Therefore, we are taking measures to protect our submarine cables from property and access from foreign adversaries, as well as cyber and physical threats«He said below.
The new regulations, which will be discussed on August 7, determines that it is necessary to apply a presumption of Denial for certain requesting licenses controlled by foreign adversarieslimit the capacity lease contracts to these entities and «prohibit the use of covered equipment», without specifying what the latter refers to.
With this, he pointed out that it is convenient to expedite license review procedures and establish cybersecurity and physical safety requirements, so that they can avoid any national security problem for the United States.
Proposals to erase China from the map
It should be remembered that During Donald Trump’s first mandate, the FCC took similar measures To prevent mobile phone operators from using Chinese teams throughout the US territory for alleged espionage, as remembers Engadget.
In this way, it promoted a regulation called Safe and Reliable Communications Networks Law, which forced these companies to withdraw «any suspicious foreign network team» of the Chinese brands Huawei and ZTE, and replace it with another safe device.
This measure, aggressive as little, reminds what Car and his team now proposes, which also seek to protect the country’s communication systems with the focus on the attack known as Salt Typhoon, which a few months ago knocked down the services of operators and telecommunications and other companies in the country.
