Senators Warn of Ongoing Telecom Threats from Chinese Government

The leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee warned of continuing threats posed by the Chinese government to telecommunications systems and other critical technologies ahead of a major international summit. Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken urging him to use the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) ministerial meeting to work with other democratic nations to establish rules of the road around developing technologies, particularly to counter Chinese efforts in this area. Blinken is set to speak at the meeting.
