WASHINGTON: More than two years after Congress passed two laws to strip Chinese hardware and software from US defense and telecommunications supply chains, industry is struggling to figure out how.
“No one really has the answers on some of this stuff,” Nick Jones, director of regulatory policy at the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), said in an interview.
One key problem, Jones explained, is that neither DoD nor the FCC have issued lists of what equipment is banned by the laws.
“Good national security intentions, but poor execution thus far,” one telecoms expert summed up.

New Shannon Group chairman departs over Twitter controversy Aaron Forde apologises for ‘insensitive’ language as Eamon Ryan revokes appointment
Tue, Feb 16, 2021, 16:12 Updated: Tue, Feb 16, 2021, 22:22
The Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has announced that he will not be proceeding with the appointment of Aaron Forde as chairman of Shannon Group.
Mr Ryan had announced his appointment earlier on Tuesday.
In a phone conversation later on Tuesday, Mr Ryan indicated that Mr Forde’s use of social media was “below the standard expected of the chair of a state board.”
“This is an important time for Shannon Group, which has to chart a way through the crisis caused by the pandemic and plan for recovery. The Department of Transport will work to appoint a new chair as quickly as possible,” a spokeswoman said.
