Market Chatter: US Moves to End China's Role in Electronics Testing

MT Newswires Live05-01 12:43

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission voted unanimously to advance a proposal banning all Chinese labs from testing U.S.-bound electronic devices such as smartphones and computers, Reuters reported Thursday.

Currently, about 75% of U.S. electronics are tested in China, according to the report. The plan would fast-track approval for devices tested in U.S. labs or allied nations.

In a separate vote, the FCC moved to bar China Mobile (SHA:600941, HKG:80941), China Telecom (SHA:601728, HKG:0728) and China Unicom (HKG:0762) from operating U.S. data centers, Reuters wrote.

The agency is also considering blocking interconnection with companies linked to national security risks, including Huawei and ZTE (SHE:000063, HKG:0763), according to the report.
