		</div><p>US regulators are expelling a unit of China Telecom, one of the country’s three major state-owned carriers, from the American market as a national security threat amid rising tension with Beijing.</p>
<p>China Telecom (Americas) is required to stop providing domestic interstate and international service in the United States within 60 days, under an order approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).</p>
<p>The FCC cited the danger that Beijing might use the company to eavesdrop or disrupt US communications and “engage in espionage and other harmful activities against the United States”.</p>
<p>The Biden administration has extended efforts begun under then-president Donald Trump to limit access to US technology and markets for state-owned Chinese companies due to concern they were security risks or helping with military development.</p>
<p>China Telecom is among companies that were expelled from US stock exchanges under an order by Mr Trump barring Americans from investing in them.</p>
<p>The FCC said in 2019 that due to security concerns it planned to revoke licences granted two decades earlier to China Telecom and another state-owned carrier, China Unicom.</p>
<p>It rejected a licence application by the third carrier, China Mobile.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>“China Telecom Americas’ ownership and control by the Chinese government raise significant national security and law enforcement risks,” said an FCC announcement.</p>
<p>The company’s conduct and communications to US government agencies “demonstrate a lack of candour, trustworthiness and reliability”, the FCC said, without giving details.</p>
<p>The Chinese government has said it would take steps to protect its companies but has yet to announce any retaliation over their status in the US market.</p>
<p>The telecom companies are on a US government blacklist of entities deemed by the Pentagon to be involved in military development.</p>
<p>Others include state-owned oil companies, suppliers of processor chips and video technology and construction, aerospace, rocketry, shipbuilding and nuclear power equipment companies.</p>
