(March 18): The U.S. Federal Communications Commission moved toward barring China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd. and ComNet from the U.S., calling the Chinese telecommunications carriers a security risk controlled by Beijing.

The action against two of China's three major telecommunications operators was decided by a 4-0 vote by agency.
