Potential Threats to National Security: Four Chinese Companies the U.S. Should Ban
The U.S. government is considering banning four additional Chinese or China-connected companies following the ban on TikTok. These companies, including Holosun, DJI, Lenovo, and Epic Games, have been identified as potential threats to national security due to their connections to the Chinese military-industrial complex.
Holosun, a firearms accessories importer with ties to Chinese military clusters, specializes in affordable optics that could benefit China in a potential invasion of Taiwan. DJI, the leading commercial drone company in the world, has already been banned by the Department of Defense for official use due to security concerns.
Lenovo, a Chinese computer hardware company, acquired IBM Servers in 2015, forcing the U.S. Navy to replace servers on its Aegis destroyers. Epic Games, developer of the Unreal graphics engine, has a 35 percent stake owned by Chinese conglomerate Tencent, raising concerns about security risks in defense applications.
The potential bans on these companies highlight the ongoing efforts to protect national security and prevent foreign influence in critical industries. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
