​Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr has urged European nations to align with U.S. satellite technology providers, such as Elon Musk's Starlink, over Chinese alternatives. In an interview with the Financial Times, Carr emphasized the strategic risks associated with partnering with Chinese providers and highlighted the growing divide in satellite and AI technologies between the West and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).Carr expressed concern that political considerations in Europe might be influencing long-term technological decisions. He stated, "If you're concerned about Starlink, just wait for the CCP's version, then you'll be really worried." Carr also criticized European regulators for what he perceives as a bias against American tech firms, labeling EU policies as protectionist and anti-American. ​The FCC chair's comments come amid ongoing discussions in Europe about technological sovereignty and the need to develop independent digital infrastructure. European companies like BT and Virgin Media O2 are currently trialing Starlink's technology, though full agreements have yet to be finalized. ​Carr also suggested that European telecom companies, such as Nokia and Ericsson, should consider relocating more of their manufacturing operations to the United States to avoid potential tariffs and to receive faster regulatory clearances. ​These developments underscore the broader geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, with Europe navigating its position amid calls for greater alignment with Western technological standards.
