Outgoing Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai is warning regulators about the threat China poses to telecom networks. Pai says potential Chinese spying, threats to U.S. telecom networks, and internet freedom are the biggest national security issues for the next four years.
Pai says he’s concerned about a “wide array” of activity from China—including surveillance and economic espionage. He also says China could potentially inject “malware” into networks in the U.S. or abroad—and that bad thing can happen when insecure equipment is used to handle sensitive information.
