U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) has criticized Chinese video surveillance giant Hikvision over “very malicious and malevolent” attempts to interfere with U.S. government protocols and silence dissenting voices.
“It is really just no business of a foreign Chinese-backed company to be interfering and trying to use and exploit our Ethics Committee to try to spy on and try to cause sanctions or even fining or any other penalties, to be weighed in on a U.S. company that is actually exposing them in the media,” Tenney told NTD, The Epoch Times’ sister media outlet, during a Jan. 26 program.
