Hikvision spent $2.5 million+ lobbying in the first six months of 2023 across four firms (Mercury Public Affairs, BCW, Sidley Austin, and the Elevation Association), attempting to modify the NDAA ban.
Hikvision has had little to no apparent success with lobbying since the 2018 NDAA ban, despite spending nearly $20 million between then and October 2022. See: Hikvision's Sanction Lobbying Strategy Revealed & Hikvision USA Spent $17 Million Lobbying, Double That Of Huawei.
