US Commerce Department investigates China's major telecom carriers over potential data transfer to Beijing.

The US Commerce Department is investigating China's largest state-controlled telecom carriers - China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom - over concerns they may provide American data to Beijing through their US cloud services. This follows the US government's decision in 2022 to exclude China Unicom from the US market. The investigation involves subpoenas and risk-based analyses, with a less advanced probe of China Unicom.
