The U.S. has forced millions of Chinese electronics products, including Huawei, ZTE, and Huawei.
On October 10, local time, the US Federal Communications Commission suddenly released news saying that it would ask major e-commerce platforms to remove a large number of electronic products made in China on the grounds of "national security risks." under
The product range of the shelf is also small, from home security cameras to smart watches, almost covering many ordinary consumer everyday devices.
This is not the first time that the United States has taken "national security" as an excuse for Chinese enterprises to "shake a knife." a few years ago, Huawei and ZTE have been included in a variety of restrictions lists, from 5G equipment to chip procurement, is almost held away from breathing.
This time to pull in consumer electronics, it can be seen that the United States in the field of technology against China prevention has obviously extended from communications equipment to a wider range of end products.
Especially things like security cameras, which were originally used for home care, are now said to involve "monitoring" or "data leakage", to be honest, this statement sounds a bit overstated.
But the development of things is not surprising. After all, the United States has made more and more "decoupling" actions in the field of science and technology over the years. There were chip controls before and software bans later. This kind of removal from shelves is actually an extension of "combination boxing".
Moreover, from the perspective of operation methods, the FCC does not check every product by itself, but directly requires the cooperation of e-commerce platforms to empty these "problem brand" products directly from the shelves.
This method is simple and crude, but the effect is also obvious. Many products disappeared overnight. However, if we talk about the impact of this incident, it is not just on China companies, but also on the United States itself.
For example, such as Haiyan Vision and Huawei's cameras, the market share in the global scale is very high, and many U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises and home users are users of these brands.
After being suddenly removed from the shelves, the substitutes couldn't keep up for a while, and many people fell into the embarrassing situation of "not being able to buy them even after using them". Moreover, many technologies have no problems in themselves, but are just labeled because of their "origin".
In the long run, this will also affect the freedom of choice of technology products for global consumers.
In recent years, China-US relations have seen signs of easing in some areas, such as high-level contacts and trade consultations, but the technological confrontation has not relaxed, especially in the sensitive areas of artificial intelligence, big data and cybersecurity.
The U.S. prevention against China can be said to be more and more detailed.This "down order", on the surface, was issued by the FCC, but behind it is actually a part of the entire science and technology policy towards China, as before restricting the export of advanced chips.
The purpose is to compress the space of China technology companies in the global market. Of course, from the perspective of China companies, this kind of suppression is actually not the first time it has been experienced. Huawei has long been developing its own chips, and Hikvision and Dahua are also expanding markets outside overseas.
In recent years, many companies’ response strategies have become more and more mature, such as shifting to emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and even adjusting the product structure to put more resources in domestic and friendly markets.
Although there will be some fluctuations in the short term, in the long run, this external pressure may lead to technological upgrades and market diversification. According to media reports, this e-commerce platform includes many mainstream U.S. platforms.
For example, Amazon, Wal-Mart Online Mall, etc. The platform responded quickly. After all, the FCC's orders may face penalties if they do not implement them. Just such an operation not only puts the platform in a dilemma.
It also caught many businesses unprepared. In particular, some third-party sellers, who originally relied on these products to make a living, but now they suddenly no longer have any sales. Naturally, they are wailing.
It is worth noting that this policy does not explicitly say "permanent ban", but it does not give a clear recovery time. This ambiguity is actually even more worrying, because uncertainty means that it is difficult for companies to make long-term plans.
