The U.S. is concerned that companies linked to the Chinese government — particularly Huawei — dominate mobile network infrastructure in much of the world, which could let China spy on communications or even shut off a country's internet. This bill would require the Secretary of State to develop a formal strategy, within 90 days, for helping other countries build secure telecom networks using trusted vendors instead. It also calls for reports on how Russia and China are trying to influence the International Telecommunication Union, and on opportunities to team up with allies to finance secure infrastructure in developing nations.
Congressional Summary
Requires the State Department to develop a strategy to promote secure telecommunications infrastructure globally and counter adversary influence in that space.
