The Federal Communications Committee is establishing the National Security Council to enhance US defenses against Chinese electronic attacks and help them stay in China in critical technologies, such as artificial intelligence.

Brendan Car, the new FCC The president said that he was proving the council to intensify the agency’s focus on “the continuous and continuous threat from foreign opponents, especially the Chinese Communist Party.”

“These poor actors always explore ways to violate our networks, devices and ecosystem for technology. It is more important than ever that the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) remains awake and protect Americans and American companies from these threats.”

He added that due to the presence of threats across the sectors organized by the committee, “it is important that national security efforts in the Federal Communications Committee withdraw resources from a variety of FCC organizations.”

Carr said that the council will have a number of goals, including alleviating the American weakness of electronic attacks, espionage and monitoring by hostile countries and reducing the supply chain’s dependence on opponents.

He added that he will also try to ensure that the United States “wins the strategic competition with it China On critical technologies, including 5G, 6G, AI, satellites, space, quantum computing and independent systems.

The Council will lead Adam Chan, the lawyer who was previously working on the Chinese Parliament Committee, which was established by Congress in 2023 to focus on security threats from Beijing.

While the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) traditionally focused on organizing telecommunications service providers, its role expanded with the intensification of the battle between Washington and Beijing on technology.

The committee has a judicial authority on large-scale cases such as a drone certificate to regulate the undernoon communication cables-only two areas in which the United States has become concerned about the increasing threats of national security from China.

It is expected to be the early focus Hurricane salt, A Chinese attack for months on American telecommunications networks allowed the infiltrators to target the unsuccessful phone calls that former US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said it was “unique” in terms of its huge scope.

The Federal Communications Committee (FCC) is one of many agencies involved in helping telecommunications companies to enhance their networks and stop interference.

The establishment of the council is the latest effort by the US government to take a more comprehensive and focused approach on a wide range of threats from China by bringing resources from various agencies.

In 2021, the CIA established the “China Mission Center” to increase the agency’s focus on Beijing. The Foreign Ministry created a similar structure known as “China’s House”. In the Trade Department, the Industry and Security Office has increased efforts to make it difficult for China to obtain critical American technology, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence and potatoes.

The new council is expected to convert FCC from the individual Chinese entities into a more sector approach. Some critics of the American efforts to address the threats from Betiging referred to gaps that allowed them to circumvent punitive actions, such as a Chinese group changed its name.

“This council explains how President Car wants to raise China’s agenda under his leadership and imagine that the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) is the front lines tool in the Chinese competition that is similar to what BIS has become,” said Eric Cyds, a security expert in Asia at the American Institute of the Foundation.

Celes said the council will face China in less traditional areas, such as the cloud, artificial intelligence data centers, drones, connected cars, “Internet of Things”, and consumer electronics.
