   WASHINGTON, October 26, 2021 - The Federal Communications Commission   
   adopted an order ending China Telecom (Americas) Corporation's ability   
   to provide domestic interstate and international telecommunications   
   services within the United States.  The Order on Revocation and   
   Termination directs China Telecom Americas to discontinue any domestic   
   or international services that it provides pursuant to its section 214   
   authority within sixty days following the release of the order.   
   Promoting national security is an integral part of the Commission's   
   responsibility to advance the public interest, and today's action   
   carries out that mission to safeguard the nation's telecommunications   
   infrastructure from potential security threats.   
      
   Based in part on the recommendation of the Executive Branch agencies,   
   the Commission found that China Telecom Americas failed to rebut the   
   serious concerns of the Executive Branch about its continued presence   
   in the United States.  In December 2020, the Commission launched a   
   proceeding and established a process that allowed for China Telecom   
   Americas, the Executive Branch agencies, and the public to present any   
   remaining arguments or evidence in the matter.
