    Major US online retailers remove listings for millions of prohibited Chinese electronics

    • FCC says millions of listings for Chinese electronics on U.S. online retailer websites have been removed
    • U.S. telecom regulator has taken series of steps to crack down on Chinese telecoms
    • Latest action comes amid rising tension between Washington and Beijing on numerous fronts

    WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) – The chair of the Federal Communications Commission said on Friday that major U.S. online retail websites have removed millions of listings for prohibited Chinese electronics as part of a crackdown by the agency.

    FCC Chair Brendan Carr said in an interview that the items removed are either on a U.S. list of barred equipment or were not authorized by the agency, including items like security cameras and phones from companies like Huawei and ZTE (000063.SZ), opens new tab. He said companies are putting new processes in place to prevent future prohibited items as a result of FCC oversight.

    “We’re going to keep our efforts up,” Carr said.

    U.S. agencies in recent years have taken a series of actions against Chinese tech companies, including telecom, semiconductors, vehicles and others raising national security concerns. This is the latest push to prevent unapproved Chinese electronics from getting to the U.S. market.

    Earlier this week, the FCC said it plans to vote this month to tighten restrictions on telecommunications equipment made by Chinese companies deemed national security risks, the latest in a series of U.S. actions targeting Beijing.

    The U.S. telecom regulator previously named companies including Huawei Technologies, ZTE (000063.SZ), opens new tab, Hangzhou Hikvision (002415.SZ), opens new tab, China Mobile (600941.SS), opens new tab and China Telecom (601728.SS), opens new tab to the so-called “Covered List,” which bars the FCC from authorizing the import or sale of new equipment from those companies.

    The agency will vote on October 28 to prohibit authorization of devices containing component parts that are on the Covered List and authorize the agency to prohibit the sale of previously authorized Covered List equipment in specific cases.

    In March, the FCC said it was investigating nine Chinese companies on the Covered List including Huawei, ZTE as well as Hytera Communications (002583.SZ), opens new tab, Dahua Technology Company (002236.SZ), opens new tab, Pacifica Networks/ComNet and China Unicom (Americas) (0762.HK), opens new tab.

    The Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately comment.

    The FCC previously barred some Chinese companies from providing telecommunications services in the United States, citing national security concerns.

    Last month, the FCC began proceedings to withdraw recognition from seven test labs owned or controlled by the Chinese government, citing U.S. national security concerns.
