Telecommunications Denial Order Enforcement Act
This bill directs the President to impose penalties on telecommunications companies domiciled in China, including Huawei and ZTE, that violate U.S. export controls or sanctions. Chinese subsidiaries of foreign companies are excluded from the bill.
The bill also prohibits executive agencies from reducing any penalty imposed on a Chinese telecommunications company for violating a sanction or export control, unless the President certifies that the company has not violated U.S. law for at least one year and is fully cooperating with investigations.
