Senate panel wants stricter oversight of Chinese telecoms:

[...] The Wall Street Journal understands that the Senate Permanent Subcommitee on Investigations will issue a report demanding stricter oversight of Chinese telecoms operating in the US, arguing that they otherwise pose an "unacceptable" national security risk. The panel also blasts officials for allegedly being too soft on these telecoms across multiple administrations, pointing to 18 years of supposedly lax screening.

The panel criticizes several regulators (nicknamed Team Telecom) for finding no concerns when China Telecom and China Unicom, both state-run, got licenses to operate in the US in 2002. A risk mitigation deal in 2007 gave those regulators the power to visit China Telecom, but they only used that twice (in 2017 and 2018), according to the Senate panel's findings.

American officials have stepped their scrutiny of China over the years. Team Telecom has asked the FCC to revoke China Telecom's license, and it's no secret that the US has clamped down on equipment makers like Huawei and ZTE. However, this panel could help foster an even more aggressive stance.

Did you shoot your mouth off only to have it slammed shut by APK https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=33430&page=1&cid=889582#commentwrap [soylentnews.org] ? Yes. Go AWAY "TraNsTesTiCuLaR MONSTROSITY". Did you really think apk apologized to you (no you posted that yourself by anonymous impersonating him) https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?cid=937346&sid=35327 [soylentnews.org] ? No but you try to deceive others with it that he did. You only fool yourself just like you do in your delusion you are a real woman. You're not. You're a clearly insane male dosed on estrogen to give you bitch tits, nothing more.

    You'd think that since each of your posts get moderated -1 that you'd make like a tree and leave (Biff, BTTF2).

    Anyhow, if your secret fetish is trans-curious, no one will think you any less of a man for dating Barb (if she'd have you, that is). The most virulent rainbowphobes seem to be unsure of their own gender/sexual identity; just sayin'.
