Well what else is new __ ? Fools with power control everything today, even our top military staff and hundreds of computer systems run by the alphabet agencies

China probably manufactures all weapons and ammunition used by US troops and most of our military airplane parts. The whole world is corrupt and China is getting richer while we are getting poorer. Sad but true

*Ping* !

Yeah but their backdoor has on of our backdoors so.......well I wish. What the hell do we expect to happen when our chips are made by COMMMMMMUNNNIST CHINA.!!!

Nixon, Kissinger, China, “free trade,” RINOS.

See tag line.

DUH! Stupid is as stupid does.

All the people in positions to do anything about this are either quietly fixing the problem or think themselves immune to the disaster.

We’re lucky to have survived for this long.

Kruschev once said, “We will hang you ... and you will sell us the rope”.

Close. “We’ll hang ourselves and buy the rope from you.”

Weren’t you assuring us that this wasn’t happening just 2 weeks ago today?

And a foreign state owned telecommunication company is also a primary provider for sensitive US Government communications systems. But it’s okay, that government is mostly friendly to our causes - except when it’s not and actively works against us. That only happens every other year or so, so I guess that is a risk we can take.

Manufacturing American military software in a potentially hostile country just amazes me. Whose dumb idea was this?

[goron]

Well at least we got a great deal on all those Chinese chips!

This is all just part of Slick Willie's legacy of 'free trade' and cheap Walmart junk retailing for less than US companies could make it for wholesale.

It's all about price afterall. If we would have wanted secure EPROM chips within the systems of our military's printed circuit boards, we could have made them here, but WOW, look at the low prices!

China's not the only country tapping out malicious code. Pretty much every country that has access to the Internet is involved at some level.

There are high level, state sponsored efforts that companies and government agencies get Shanghaied by, and rouge, low-level criminal or hacker activities.

I don't consider farming out development of mission critical systems and components to be "stupid". The perps know what's at risk. It's all part of the globalist playbook.

“Skorobogatov notes that 99 percent of chips are manufactured in China”

Um, no. Not even close. Maybe .99%, but that seems a bit too high to me. Quite a bit too high, actually.

Globalism is a suicide pact among the elitists. Citizens of the world - US politicans and private industry - could care less if the US is burried or not and they are making the suicidal decisions for the “their people” of the globe on global trade. All degrees of treason can be and are being rationalized.
