Hikvision, a video surveillance company with ties to the Chinese government, is working with a former U.S. government official, according to records.
The Chinese government founded Hikvision and is its "Controlling shareholder," according to IPVM. Kucik will help the corporation navigate recent U.S. government actions against China, Axios reported.
In 2019, the Commerce Department curtailed Hikvision's ability to do business with American companies, according to Axios.
Last summer, the Defense Department added Hikvision to a list of companies "Owned or controlled" by the Chinese military.
In June, President Joe Biden prohibited U.S. entities from investing in Hikvision and dozens of other Chinese corporations to address "The threat posed by the military-industrial complex of the People's Republic of China."
The Wall Street Journal reported in May that "Hikvision sold drones and other accessory equipment to the Chinese air force in 2019 and was considered a top-tier supplier to the nation's military in 2014.".
According to the report, footage from state television showed a Chinese soldier holding a drone-jamming weapon with Hikvision's logo on it.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
