JAKARTA - Huawei seems unable to break down the government of the United States (US). Most recently, the company and ZTE again received a ban on selling all their new telecommunications devices.

The ban proposal came from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) which said the two companies from China were suspected of national security reasons.

The new ban will strengthen the rules of closed list equipment and fulfill the mandate of the law that Congress imposed on commissions in the Secure Equipment Act of 2021.

The FCC's closed list applies to communications equipment and services deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to US national security or the security and safety of US people.

The FCC did not specify the proposed ban, but said if the rules were approved it would prevent Huawei and ZTE from selling all new products approved by the FCC.

This means that the old Huawei and ZTE products that have been approved by the FCC can still be sold by the company. This rule only applies to newly launched products.

In 2019, the FCC banned Huawei and ZTE from accepting billions of dollars in federal subsidies to expand broadband access in the US.

A year later, the FCC labeled the companies as a risk to national security due to their close ties to the Chinese military and the Chinese Communist Party.

Since then, the FCC has been worried about using Huawei's equipment to build 5G networks in the US because it can make Uncle Sam's country vulnerable to surveillance and spying.

"The FCC remains committed to protecting our national security by ensuring that untrustworthy communications equipment is not permitted to be used within our borders, and we continue the work here," FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel told CNET, quoted Friday, October 14.

Apart from Huawei and ZTE, the proposal will prohibit video surveillance equipment from three Chinese companies, namely Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua. The company manufactures products for the US police.
