FCC Votes to Ban Chinese Labs from Testing Electronics for US Market
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to ban Chinese labs from testing electronic devices such as smartphones, cameras, and computers for the US market, effective December 2028. This expands previous restrictions targeting Chinese government-controlled labs and aims to address national security concerns related to access to sensitive information and potential risks to communications infrastructure. The FCC also streamlined approval processes for devices tested in US or allied labs. This move follows earlier bans on Chinese drones, routers, and hardware from companies like Huawei and ZTE.
