The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote next week on an annual defense bill that includes just over $3 billion in funding for U.S. telecom companies to remove equipment made by Chinese telecom firms Huawei and ZTE from American wireless networks. This initiative aims to address security risks associated with the presence of Chinese telecom equipment in the U.S. infrastructure. The bill also requires a report on Beijing's efforts to circumvent Washington's national security standards.
