华盛顿，2月11日（路透社） – 两名民主党参议员要求商务部解释，为何该部门将一名官员及其副手调离岗位，而他们的办公室曾以国家安全为由实际上禁止了几乎所有中国汽车进入美国市场。
参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）和马克·华纳（Mark Warner）在路透社看到的一封信中向商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）施压，要求他就有关该部门“将致力于对抗中国针对美国技术供应链和通信基础设施的情报及网络威胁的关键国家安全官员调离”的报道作出解释。

路透社1月份报道，伊丽莎白·坎农（Elizabeth Cannon）已同意辞去信息与通信技术和服务局（ICTIS）主任一职。该局成立于2022年，旨在调查外国对手对供应链的威胁。
参议员们表示，削弱该局“并现在将其领导层调离，发出了一个明确信号，即真正对抗中国并非本届政府的优先事项。”
坎农和商务部未立即回应置评请求。
参议员们称，该局负责开展旨在加强美国网络防御的工作，以应对“盐台风”等网络攻击。他们补充说，这些官员的离职“使该局失去了应对不断升级的国家安全和网络威胁所需的领导能力和机构专业知识。”

路透社上月首次报道，商务部在对乘用车和卡车实施打击后，撤回了一项针对中国无人机的限制计划。这些限制措施实际上禁止中国车辆进入美国市场。
该部门还悄悄搁置了对重型卡车和公共汽车实施类似限制的计划。
参议员们表示，在卢特尼克任期内，该局以及对其他中国问题和电信行业的调查工作均已停滞。“此外，针对中国国有电信公司中国电信和中国联通的持续行动可能已被搁置，尽管它们在美国的存在可能使用户的个人数据面临被盗和中断的风险。

Senators question why US agency pushed out officials working on Chinese threats
February 11, 2026 9:19 PM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, Feb 11 (Reuters) – Two Democratic senators asked the Commerce Department to explain why it removed an official and her deputy whose office had effectively barred nearly all Chinese cars from entering the U.S. market on national security grounds.
Senators Elizabeth Warren and Mark Warner pressed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in a letter seen by Reuters to answer questions on reports the department pushed out “key national security officials who were working to counter China’s intelligence and cyber threats against American technology supply chains and communications infrastructure.”

Reuters reported Elizabeth Cannon in January had agreed to resign as executive director for Information and Communications Technology and Services, an office created in 2022 to investigate threats to the supply chain from foreign adversaries.
The senators said that diminishing the office “and now pushing out its leadership, sends a clear signal that truly standing up to China is not a priority of this administration.”
Cannon and the Commerce Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The office is responsible for efforts aimed at bolstering U.S. cyber defenses in response to cyberattacks like Salt Typhoon, the senators said, adding the loss of the officials “strips this office of the leadership and institutional expertise required to defend the United States against escalating national security and cyber threats.”

Reuters first reported last month the Commerce Department was withdrawing a plan to impose restrictions on Chinese drones to address national security concerns after an earlier crackdown on passenger cars and trucks. Those restrictions effectively bar Chinese vehicles from the U.S. market.
The department also quietly shelved plans to impose similar restrictions on heavy trucks and buses.
The senators said the work of the office, along with probes of other Chinese issues and telecoms, has stalled under Lutnick’s tenure. “In addition, ongoing actions against Chinese state-owned telecommunications companies, China Telecom and China Unicom, may be on hold despite the fact their presence in the United States may leave users’ personal data exposed to theft and disruption.
