Bill Introduced To Require Decision on Full Sanctions For Dahua and Hikvision
A bill introduced in US Congress would, if passed, force the US government to determine within 30 days whether full sanctions should be applied to Dahua, Hikvision, and 2 other PRC companies.
If these "SDN list" sanctions are applied, the result - minimally - would be to shut down the companies' US business operations, a move far beyond the current stage of prohibiting new FCC authorizations, while also threatening their ability to do business or access financial services around the world.
In this note, we examine the bill, its prospects of success, and what the outcomes may be.
