Commerce Subpoenas Chinese Sellers of Communications, IT Equipment

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said, in announcing March 17 subpoenas on Chinese sellers of information and communications technology and services, that these investigations will help the U.S. determine whether the purchases of this equipment or software is damaging to American national security. “The Biden-Harris Administration has been clear that the unrestricted use of untrusted ICTS poses a national security risk. Beijing has engaged in conduct that blunts our technological edge and threatens our alliances,” she said. “The Administration is firmly committed to taking a whole-of-government approach to ensure that untrusted companies cannot misappropriate and misuse data and ensuring that U.S. technology does not support China’s or other actors’ malign activities.”
