What could possibly go wrong?
CITIC Telecom CPC owns and operates telecommunications cables through its subsidiaries that run between Finland and Estonia, Finland and Sweden, and Estonia and Sweden.
The owner of CITIC Telecom CPC, which is headquartered in Hong Kong, is
CITIC Group, a Chinese state-owned company in which the CCP exercises decision-making power.
The data cables came into the ownership of CITIC Telecom CPC through a corporate acquisition from the Dutch company Linx in 2019, at which time the transaction did not attract much attention. Western countries have now begun to be more skeptical of China and the country's role in the internet cable network.
THE US banned one of the CITIC Group's telecommunications companies from operating in its territory in 2022.
