Gov. Pillen prohibits state use of Chinese-made devices, services

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen is taking a hardline stance against Chinese technology in the state.

Pillen announced a ban on all state use of Chinese-manufactured communication devices and services on Thursday.

The executive order will prohibit state employees and contractors from using devices manufactured by Huawei Technology, ZTE Corporation, Hytera Communications, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology and Dahua Technology.

The ban also includes all subsidiaries and other entities affiliated with these companies.

Pillen alleges that these companies are owned or controlled by the Chinese Communist Party and should be considered a risk to national security.

Pillen defeated eight challengers, including Charles Herbster, a Trump-backed businessman accused late in the campaign of groping young women, and Brett Lindstrom, a state senator and Omaha financial adviser who was generally viewed as a more moderate choice.
