The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has denied applications for recognition from a second batch of China-controlled “bad labs,” which refer to labs that review and approve electronics for use in the United States but are under the control of a foreign adversary, the agency said in a Sept. 26 statement.
Earlier this month, the FCC took action against 11 labs controlled by China.
