Senate Bill Proposes Further Restrictions on Huawei, ZTE August 4, 2021 August 4, 2021 Twitter Sens. Tom Cotton (left) and Mark Warner Two U.S. senators are looking to place additional restrictions on the use of telecom equipment from Chinese equipment manufacturers Huawei and ZTE by prohibiting using funds from the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan stimulus package to buy such equipment. A bill calling for the ban, the American Telecommunications Security Act, was introduced Wednesday by Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., who is the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who serves on the committee. In June 2020, the Federal Communications Commission officially designated Huawei and ZTE as national security threats, noting that equipment from the two companies could be used to spy on communications on behalf of the Chinese government.
