On October 15, 2025, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) made an announcement. Citing national security concerns as the basis, it has embarked on the process to revoke the operating license authorization of Hong Kong's telecommunications operator, HKT International, within the United States. The FCC issued a 'Show Cause Order,' which highlights HKT's connection to China Unicom Americas. It further mandates that HKT and its subsidiaries must provide a detailed explanation as to why the FCC should refrain from revoking their authorization. It's worth noting that the FCC has, on multiple occasions in the past, revoked the operating authorizations of companies in the U.S. that are affiliated with Chinese state-owned enterprises, all under the pretext of national security. This latest move by the FCC marks a further broadening of the restrictions imposed on Chinese companies, significantly impacting their ability to carry out normal business operations in the U.S.
