The DOJ has officially recommended that the FCC deny the CCP/#China’s attempt at an undersea Internet backbone cable that would connect the US directly to Hong Kong.

I have no doubt that the FCC will block it since R’s have the majority.https://t.co/cgl6q8fL8g https://t.co/xlvrZoCFm3
What 'domain' is an undersea cable?

U.S. foreign policy was a little late to the game on what digital infrastructure projects mean for information security (hello last-minute panic on Huawei) but I'm glad it's been coming around.https://t.co/Be5s7xVSLC

"The development and maintenance of undersea cables, the landing points anchoring them above ground, and other physical internet infrastructure are a growing arm of cyber statecraft and source of security risk." @jshermcyber in @WIRED #ACcyber https://t.co/2lXlxA7uie

Team Telecom recommends, "based on national security concerns, that the @FCC partially deny the Pacific Light Cable Network (PLCN) subsea cable system application, to the extent it seeks a direct connection between the United States and Hong Kong." https://t.co/bbMjoYSA0l

The HK-based company with majority control of the Google- & Facebook-backed Pacific Light submarine cable is owned by Chinese telecom giant Dr. Peng, which has publicly said that the US-HK cable fits well into China's Belt & Road strategy. https://t.co/ABOt2QSASF

The US may reject a high-speed internet cable linked directly to HK. If installed, this cable may risk having US citizens' personal data stolen by the PRC, which will likely set up intelligence bodies in HK after implementing the "national security" laws.https://t.co/orGXRB7Ke6

Wow worth paying attention to: "It would reportedly be the first such cable rejected by the US on national security grounds."https://t.co/ZiWb4Kvj2X

米司法省がFCCに対して米国、台湾、フィリピン、香港を結ぶ太平洋横断海底ケーブルの設置について、香港側の会社が中国の諜報機関と関係を持っており、安全保障上のリスクがあることを指摘。FCCからはまだ情報は出ていない。 https://t.co/n58LePdgbo
