The Federal Communications Commission has launched a sweeping new investigation into firms aligned with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that may still be operating in the United States after being blacklisted because of national security concerns.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr announced the initiative on March 21, calling it the first major action led by the agency’s newly formed Council on National Security, which he formally unveiled last week. The council’s mission includes preventing cyber attacks on critical U.S. infrastructure and rooting out foreign espionage threats.
