A planned House of Representatives vote to allocate more than $3 billion to remove Chinese telecommunications equipment from United States networks goes against market logic, and in the end, forcibly removing Chinese companies' equipment will only significantly increase costs for US telecom operators and negatively impact user experience, according to a Chinese analyst.

In fact, as early as 2019, the US Congress required telecom operators receiving federal subsidies to remove Chinese telecom equipment from their networks. In July 2021, the US Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) approved a $1.9 billion program to rip out and replace equipment from Chinese telecom companies.
