WASHINGTON, Dec 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of

Representatives is set to vote next week on an annual defense

bill that includes just over $3 billion for U.S. telecom

companies to remove equipment made by Chinese telecoms firms

Huawei and ZTE (Shenzhen:000063) from American wireless networks to

address security risks.

The 1,800-page text was released late on Saturday and

includes other provisions against China, including requiring a

report on efforts by China to evade U.S. national security

regulations and an intelligence assessment of the current status

of Chinese biotechnology capabilities.
