the switches would kill much more than just the chip machines.

If they can inact a kill switch that means there is a kill switch which means there is a built in vulnerability that they think is uncrackable...until it’s cracked.

What happens if they just do a blockade, like the Houthis ?

I was hoping the kill switch was in the chips controlling the Chinese aircraft and ships. Could you imagine the collective pants crapping if every jet fell out of the sky at the same time.

China is not going to have to invade Taiwan.

Think Austria 1938, not Poland 1939.

Can also be turned back on when China writes a big enough check.

Best kill switch is a dozen JDAMs

A successful kill switch could just be opening up the cleanroom to the salt air. Silicon and salt don’t mix.
