Chinese telcos maintain deep US presence despite Salt Typhoon links, House committee says
A bipartisan House investigation says China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom remain embedded in the U.S. internet ecosystem despite FCC license actions and alleged links to Chinese state influence and hacking. The report connects the carriers to Salt Typhoon and urges stronger FCC powers, rip-and-replace measures, and more funding to protect U.S. networks. #ChinaMobile #ChinaUnicom #ChinaTelecom #SaltTyphoon #FCC

Keypoints

  • Congress found the three carriers still retain footholds in U.S. internet infrastructure.
  • The report says the companies are not independent from Chinese parent firms and state control.
  • FCC license denials and revocations did not fully remove their equipment or business ties.
  • The study links the firms to Salt Typhoon and other PRC-related routing and hacking incidents.
  • Lawmakers want stronger FCC authority, rip-and-replace action, and more cyber expertise funding.
