The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has instructed certain U.S. telecommunications companies to remove Huawei components from their networks. The "remove and replace" directive is the latest US move against Huawei on national security issues.
Earlier, Huawei had asked the FCC to reconsider its decision. However, the company also rejected the application on Thursday. The FCC has since begun the process of removing China Telecom from US-based operations.
According to the BBC, the FCC has also instructed subsidies to allow small carriers to remove and replace Huawei parts. However, it will not be possible for the commission to provide such subsidy on its own without the consent of Congress.
FCC chairman Ajit Pai said Huawei has close ties with the Chinese military, intelligence, and the ruling Communist Party. There is communication at all levels of the organization, from the elementary class to the founder. Also, the concern about Huawei is not just speculation: independent researchers have identified multiple security vulnerabilities in Huawei devices and it is more insecure than other organizations.
