Friday the US government he forbade the sale and importation into the country of new technological devices sold by various Chinese companies, including the large telecommunications companies Huawei and ZTE: this means that those already on the market in the United States will continue to be sold, but that no others will arrive . It is only the latest in a series of measures taken in recent years by the US government to limit Chinese companies: the fear is that the Chinese regime, which has great control over the country’s companies, could use the technological devices to spy on Americans .
Jessica Rosenworcel, the president of the US government agency that monitors telecommunications, said in a statement that the new rules will serve to “protect Americans from threats to national security related to telecommunications”.
In addition to those of Huawei and ZTE, the products of the telecommunications company Hytera and the manufacturers of video surveillance equipment Dahua Technology and Hikvision, which also deals with technologies for facial recognition, will be banned.
