Publish foreign-adversary ownership list; fully fund rip-and-replace; Clean Standards Initiative

FCC should publish entities with >10% ownership by China/Russia/Iran/Syria/North Korea holding FCC authorities; fully fund Huawei/ZTE rip-and-replace (≈$3B shortfall, prefer unused COVID funds); and launch a Clean Standards Initiative against CCP standards influence.

Mandate

Mandate Ch. 28 (FCC) — National Security: publish a foreign adversary transparency list of entities holding FCC authorizations/licenses with more than 10 percent ownership by foreign adversarial governments (China, Russia, Iran, Syria, North Korea); fully fund the federal rip and replace program (~$3 billion short of need), looking first at unused COVID-era emergency funds; launch a Clean Standards Initiative expanding Clean Networks approach to standard-setting.

Undo plan

1) Enact foreign-adversary ownership transparency with privacy for minority passive investors and appeal rights. 2) Fully fund rip-and-replace via regular appropriations, not raiding unrelated COVID accounts without congressional redesignation. 3) Participate in international standards bodies with allied coordination rather than politicized parallel standards regimes that fragment markets. 4) Publish reimbursement completion rates for rip-and-replace. 5) Verify: transparency list publication; rip-and-replace funding gap closed.
