Lawmakers want US Commerce Department to probe Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus

 Two U.S. lawmakers asked the Commerce Department on Friday to investigate whether devices sold by Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus in the United States pose security concerns.

Representative John Moolenaar, a Republican who chairs a House of Representatives committee on China, and Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, the panel’s top Democrat, made the request in a letter.

The lawmakers noted that major U.S. retailers sell OnePlus devices for use on two U.S. wireless networks.

According to the letter, a recent analysis by a commercial company provided to the committee "indicates that these devices may potentially collect and transmit extensive user data -- including sensitive personal information to servers under Chinese jurisdiction without explicit user consent."
