WASHINGTON–Two U.S. senators on Sept. 16 asked the FCC and national security agencies to review whether two Chinese state-owned telecom companies should be allowed to operate in the United States, at a time of heightened concern about possible Chinese spying.
Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer and Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican, asked Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai to review approvals of China Telecom and China Unicom to operate in the United States made in the early 2000s.
