In an escalation of US-China tech tensions, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) expanded its restrictions on Chinese telecom and surveillance equipment to include older models from Huawei, ZTE, and other companies. According to a Benzinga report, the new rule broadens a previous ban that applied only to newer devices, citing national security concerns over surveillance risks. The regulation is set to take effect in July.
The regulatory broadening adds to the geopolitical headwinds facing Chinese telecom firms. Per market data, ZTE shares (0763.HK) closed at HKD 22.80 on June 26, 2026, after trading between HKD 22.60 and 24.60 during the session. The decision introduces fresh regulatory uncertainty for the Chinese equipment sector, which already faces restrictions in Western markets.
