Pentagon Names 20 Chinese Firms It Says Are Military-Controlled
2020 6.25
Huawei, Hikvision and Panda Electronics are on the list
Relations with China have become a U.S. election-year issue
The Pentagon unveiled a list of companies it says are owned or controlled by China’s military, opening them to increased scrutiny in the latest spat between the world’s biggest economies.
The 20 companies included
Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co.,
as well as a number of state-run enterprises.
In letters to lawmakers dated June 24, the Pentagon said it was providing a list of “Communist Chinese military companies operating in the United States,” which was first requested in the fiscal 1999 defense policy law.
This list includes “entities owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with China’s government, military, or defense industry,” Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.
The U.S. list of companies said to be affiliated with the Peoples Liberation Army was mandated under the Defense Authorization Act of 1999, but no administration ever put out the required report.
“Hikvision strongly opposes the decision by the U.S. government to misapply a never-used provision of a 21-year-old law,” a company spokesperson said. “Not only is Hikvision not a ‘Chinese military company,’ Hikvision has never participated in any R&D work for military applications.”
Some of the other major companies on the list include:
Aviation Industry Corporation of China: Known AVIC, this state-owned company makes military and civil aircraft, and also provides plane components to Airbus SE and Boeing Co.
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation: These are state-owned companies that manufacture military components as well as satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles.
China Railway Construction Corporation: This is a state-owned company that’s involved in construction of infrastructure projects such as railroads, tunnels and port terminals.
China Telecommunications Corp.: This company owns Hong Kong-listed China Telecom Corp., the country’s No. 2 phone company, with $54 billion in revenue last year. The Federal Communications Commission is reviewing the license for China Telecom’s U.S. unit, saying the company’s links to the government pose a national security risk. State-owned China Telecom’s lawyers responded earlier this month with a letter saying the company obeys all U.S. laws and does not present a security risk.
China Mobile Communications Group Co.: It owns China’s biggest mobile phone operator, with more than 940 million subscriptions. The FCC denied the U.S. arm of Hong Kong-listed China Mobile Ltd. a license for the U.S. last year, saying that granting the application “would raise substantial and serious national security and law enforcement risks.”
