China tech faces fresh scrutiny as US blacklist bill introduced, Lenovo case emerges

The US House Energy and Commerce Committee has introduced the Communications and Technology Transparency Act, which aims to expand the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Covered List. This proposed legislation would broaden the scope from "communications equipment or service" to the more extensive category of "information and communications technology or service" (ICTS). This move signifies increased scrutiny on China's technology sector within the United States. Additionally, Lenovo Group has become involved in a patent dispute concerning memory devices. The bill was unveiled on Wednesday, indicating a new phase of pressure on Chinese technology companies operating in the US market.
