According to Reuters, China Telecom's Americas subsidiary filed a request with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on the 15th local time, hoping to prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from revoking the company's business authorization in the United States. It is reported that the Chinese telecom company told the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that the company must inform customers about the decision before December 4. On October 26, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission voted to revoke the 214 license of China Telecom's Americas subsidiary in the United States on the grounds of so-called national security considerations, which China firmly opposes. The Ministry of industry and information technology issued a statement on this issue on the 3rd of this month, saying that China Telecom's Americas subsidiary has been operating in the United States for nearly 20 years, has been complying with U.S. laws, regulations and regulatory requirements, and provides high-quality services to many customers in the United States in accordance with the principle of commercialization. This time, without listing the specific illegal facts of our enterprise, the US side revoked its 214 license only based on subjective speculation and doubt, which is not in line with the image of the US market-oriented country, but also damages the legitimate rights and interests of global consumers, including American users. The statement also said that in recent years, the United States has repeatedly sanctioned Chinese enterprises on the grounds of national security, ignoring the facts. This is an unreasonable crackdown on Chinese enterprises by abusing state power and a serious damage to international economic and trade rules. We urge the United States to withdraw its decision to revoke China Telecom's 214 license, treat Chinese telecom enterprises with a fair and non discriminatory attitude, stop the wrong practice of generalizing the concept of national security and politicizing economic issues, and provide a fair, just and non discriminatory environment for Chinese enterprises to invest and operate in the United States. China will continue to take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. (Xinhua News Agency)
