The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee praised the Obama administration’s decision to impose export restrictions on China’s ZTE, one of the country’s top telecommunications equipment manufacturers.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Monday said the move could help curb Beijing’s extensive cyber espionage campaign, long believed to be aided by China’s biggest companies.
“We hope this sends a strong message to ZTE, to China and to other Chinese telecommunications companies who present serious national security risks not only by evading export controls, but by purposefully compromising supply chain security,” Schiff said in a statement.
