Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz and Missouri Senator Josh Hawley are planning to introduce legislation that would limit the usage by U.S. officials of telecommunications devices thought to be backed by the Chinese government, according to a Thursday announcement. Specifically mentioned in the proposed bill is Huawei, a company that has been accused of using 5G network technology to spy for China.
"Prohibiting the use of these platforms and stopping taxpayers dollars from being used to capitalize Chinese espionage infrastructure are common sense measures to protect American national security," Cruz continued. Chinese telecom company Tencent partnered with the United Nations to provide teleconferencing during the coronavirus outbreak through the use of Tencent's VooV Meeting app. Were the C-SAS Act to become law, no U.S. funds would go towards the funding of that contract.
tedcruz What about steel?
Wise move, better safe than regret dealing with China
Still at this are we?
He is a goon!
tedcruz How about Lady Trump shoes?
tedcruz I approve.
tedcruz 👍
tedcruz Give me a break.
tedcruz Also introduce one to prevent the Chinese companies from purchasing $1.6 billion oil reserves from the Permian Basin. We don’t need or want Chinese ownership of our natural resources or real property. This is almost as bad as Obama and HCR selling 25% of our uranium reserves.
tedcruz This is just common sense...in short supply these days.

tedcruz Americans learn to barter Communities band together & support your local businesses try to buy only products made in America. Learn from your elders in your communities they know how to survive. Vote honest people into office support and protect them from the corrupters & Pray.
If he banned the sale of products made in the China, half of Texas would be unemployed overnight. And pretty much the rest of Arkansas
His wife and father should ban him for making up with Trump after attack on them. Low life coward.
Doing my part for the party I guess 🙄 I wonder if this will be a problem for the League players in Congress AOC?
And still turns a blind eye to major American corporations as they continue to manufacture their products in China (wink, wink, Apple, HP, Dell, etc.)
What happened to the capitalism the GOP screams about all the time
This I support
So? How does that affect me? Unless I am somehow part of this, I don't care.
