EXCLUSIVE — Opposition to land-based infrastructure that could serve as a backup for satellite GPS is being spearheaded by groups linked to Chinese corporations, possibly putting America’s national security at risk, according to a newly released report from the Bull Moose Project.

The Bull Moose Project identified four industry groups representing a large number of Chinese corporations, many with government connections, that are working to kill a proposal before the Federal Communications Commission that would approve the use of terrestrial 5G technology to provide GPS services. Establishing a ground-based alternative to satellite GPS is a pressing national security concern, according to the Bull Moose Project, industry experts, and the Trump administration itself.
