The United States is ramping up efforts to secure its critical undersea internet cables, which carry the vast majority of global data, from perceived threats posed by China and Russia. Lawmakers and federal agencies, including the FCC, are pushing for new rules to ban Chinese technology and companies from participating in the construction and maintenance of submarine cables that connect the US to the rest of the world.

The move is part of a broader international trend, as other countries also step up efforts to protect their digital infrastructure from geopolitical risks.
