It is not China Telecom Group that has been listed in the "security risk list" by the United States, but an American company under China Telecom. The English written by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States is very clear, referring to China Telecom (America) Company, which is translated as China Telecom America Company. China Telecom USA Company is only the grandson company of China Telecom, not under the control of China Telecom Group Company, but a subsidiary company of China Telecom International Company, which is quite different from the department-level units. Therefore, even if China Telecom USA is listed as a "security risk list" by the United States, its impact is limited.
The most direct consequence of being included in the "security risk list" by the United States is that the state-owned departments or secret-related units and enterprises in the United States cannot purchase their equipment and services, while China Telecom Americas Company is rarely purchased by American units.
China Telecom USA did build a data center in the United States. For example, as early as 20 1 1, China Telecom USA built an integrated service data center in Los Angeles, which was grandly opened in Los Angeles. This 6,500-square-foot organization is located at 600 West Seventh Street in Los Angeles, California. However, its main customers are China enterprises, not American institutions and enterprises. China Telecom Americas has also set up a data center in Silicon Valley. This is because as early as 20 1 1 years ago, more than 500 China enterprises set up offices or business departments in California, and more enterprises will come here in the future. At that time, 53 China companies were listed on the new york Stock Exchange. China Telecom Americas Company mainly serves them.
The United States listed China Telecom Americas Company in the "security risk list" mainly to show off and show a gesture.
