Diagnostic is another word for spyware. The imbedded circuitry does not have to destroy the transformer it is located in but report the data to help some other entity do the job on a larger scale.

“Bobble, You’re an idiot.”

Either that or you’ve never dealt with unions.

And DOD will need to quietly work with utilities to identify and remove vulnerable pieces of Chinese hardware in the grid. It will be a huge task.

...yup...

...and hopefully IT IS happening now...

...the last thing the US needs, is a recovery from the "plandemic"...

...only to be taken down by squirrels in the attic...

It’s not whatever. It is a big deal.

I’ve never killed a deer with a anti-aircraft cannon either.

Unions have little to do with it. China will match the price at any level to get the business. They have 100% backing of CPC.

That's the problem. Not only is their labor cheaper, but they'll sell below their own cost if it'll destroy an industry here. We outlawed that kind of stuff here years ago... but the Chinese bribed liberal 'elites' with enough cash to swim in - and they sold the country out... Biden and Son were two of thousands...

From link:

With one company controlling an entire industry, there was no competition, and smaller businesses and people had no choices about from whom to buy. Prices went through the roof, and quality didn’t have to be a priority.

... threats China made against the Philippines last year ... to take the Philippines power grid down with a push of a button. I think that spurred US authorities into action...

If you listen to the people on MSNBC - the 'elites' who sold us out to China - they're backing Biden and Son types...

Yep. Probably in the US and other countries that stupidly used Communist Chinese equipment as well.

The "Disco Era"?

Jerk.

I didn't stop learning in the "Disco Era". No good engineer does. I can write device drivers in Linux just as well as I can design and debug gigahertz RF circuit boards. But whatever. You can keep thinking that Smart Meters are spying on you and the Mrs. getting down with the Disco.

Sounds like the night the lights went off in Georgia.

You’re an idiot.

Not really, just cognizant of the death hold unions had on much of US industry.
