The United States Commercial War against China today writes a new chapter In its history. It seems that it was not enough to underline several times to Tiktok, Huawei and even a ZTE espionage, partially or totally varying from their market.
Now, a new company joins the black list, as a couple of legislators have asked the government to United States investigating OnePlus obviously espionage. What does this couple of officials against the brand says? What will happen to OnePlus in that market? We tell you what we know.
OnePlus in the places of the United States
Thanks to Reuters AgencyNow we know that two US legislators have asked the Department of Commerce of that country to investigate the devices sold by the Chinese brand Oneplus, Determine if they represent some kind of safety risk For users.
The request was submitted on Friday 27 Juneby John Moolenaar, Republican and President of one of the Committees of the Chamber of Representatives on China and the Democrat Raja Krishnamorthi.
Its accusation indicates that a recent analysis made by a commercial company (whose name has not been revealed) and that it has been provided to the Committee, underlines that the OnePlus devices They may collect and transmit a lot of data of users. Among these there may be confidential informationwhich is sent to Chinese servers without the explicit consent of consumers.
Legislators asked the Department of Commerce Open an investigation in this regardUsing the program “Services and information and telecommunications technologies”. All this, with the aim of Determine what types of data are collecting OnePlus cell phones And where they would transfer them.
This is not something surprising, since The United States have taken similar actions in previous years against other Chinese brands. An example of this are Huawei, Zte, Hytera Communications and Hikvision, although there are others.
However, we will not deny that in the case of OnePlus there is a particular element: The topic against the brand lacks precision and is quite vagueIn addition to completely reserve the name of the company that has done the analysis, which hinders access to determine how deep and solid it is.
In addition, it turns out that legislators refer to a very punctual scenario: OnePlus Furniture Venditi to operate with Verizon and T-Mobile Networks. These are the greatest teleoperators in the country, but not the only ones; And, apart from, it does not also include those smartphones sold unlocked to be used with any operator. AS, I’m just a little more? And the rest?
At the time of drafting this article, OnePlus had not yet responded to the accusations. However, The Department of Commerce had not issued any comment In this regard. We will be careful of any novelty.
