China Unicom's U.S. unit warned ​that a Trump administration ‌proposal to prohibit American telecommunications carriers from interconnecting with ​Chinese telecom firms ​deemed national security risks could ⁠cause severe disruption ​to the global communications ​network.

China Unicom said in a filing on Tuesday with the ​FCC that the ​proposal would "harm U.S. companies with ‌significant ⁠business and supply chain interests in China."

The Federal Communications Commission has proposed ​barring American ​and ⁠other telecommunications carriers operating in ​the U.S. from interconnecting with ​China ⁠Unicom, China Mobile, China Telecom and others, ⁠saying ​they pose ​national security risks.
