(Reuters) -The Federal Communications Commission voted on Thursday to finalize rules barring Chinese labs deemed risks to U.S. national security from testing electronic devices like smartphones, cameras and computers for use in the United States. All electronics used in the United States must go through the FCC's equipment authorization process before they can be imported. The FCC says about 75% of all electronics are tested in labs located inside China. (Reporting by David Shepardson; Editing by Mark Porter)
