This seems bad:
Cliff notes: Sen. Rubio and Warner pushed for the US to adapt the O-RAN standard for 5G to avoid the influence of the Chinese firms Huawei and ZTE. Unfortunately, the O-RAN Alliance board includes a shit-ton of Chinese companies... including ZTE. Now Rubio gets a pass for not being particularly bright, but Warner founded Nextel and presumably should know better.
