The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Friday designated five Chinese companies as posing a threat to national security under a 2019 law aimed at protecting U.S. communications networks.

The FCC said the companies included Huawei Technologies Co, ZTE Corp, Hytera Communications Corp, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co and Dahua Technology Co.

Acting FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement: “This list provides meaningful guidance that will ensure that as next-generation networks are built across the country, they do not repeat the mistakes of the past or use equipment or services that will pose a threat to U.S. national security or the security and safety of Americans.”

In February, Huawei challenged the declaration in a petition filed with the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Huawei declined to comment on Friday on the new FCC designation. The other four companies could not be reached immediately for comment.

It's funny , if you can't fight just ban it , it's totally baseless excuses , in the world we call evidence , seem they don't know it. You said about this almost 2 year now ,not even 1 evidence. Enjoyed 😄🙄

We are always warned. So many warnings. So many press conferences. So many reports...then punch in the face over and over and over. Poor America. It was a fun ride. We should all take a look at what’s happening in Hong Kong. How China strips away democracy. It’s gonna suck
