WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, 2025 — A major trade association is disputing claims its membership has been infiltrated by China-domiciled companies seeking to influence policy at the Federal Communications Commission.

The Security Industry Association, which represents more than 1,600 global security solution providers, is clashing with Bull Moose Project, a conservative nonprofit that describes itself as dedicated to advancing an “America First” policy agenda. 

The two groups are at odds over BMP’s allegations that Chinese companies played a role in efforts to block a proposed 5G backup for the nation’s GPS system.
