(AP file Photo)WASHINGTON--The U.S. is banning the sale of communications equipment made by Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE and restricting the use of some China-made video surveillance systems, citing an “unacceptable risk” to national security.The five-member Federal Communications Commission said Friday it has voted unanimously to adopt new rules that will block the importation or sale of certain technology products that pose security risks to U.S. critical infrastructure.Along with Huawei and ZTE, the order affects products made by companies such as Hikvision and Dahua, makers of widely used video surveillance cameras.And no new Dahua, Hikvision, or Hytera gear can be approved unless they assure the FCC that their gear won’t be used for public safety, security of government facilities, & other national security purposes.”4 die in accident on Tomei Expressway in KanagawaNovember 10, 2022Ohtani, Darvish loom large at Fighters’ new home stadiumNovember 9, 2022Many parts of Japan witness a rare lunar and planet eclipseNovember 9, 2022Visit this page for the latest news on Japan’s battle with the novel coronavirus pandemic.Let’s explore the Japanese capital from the viewpoint of wheelchair users and people with disabilities with Barry Joshua Grisdale."
