The United States has extended its ban on Chinese electronics to cover products partly made by companies blacklisted on national security grounds.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is already barred from authorizing the import or sale of new equipment made by Chinese companies on its “covered list,” including Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua.
