China's hidden "spy" technology in modern electronics -
« on: October 08, 2018, 02:52:00 PM »
I've heard this rumor for quite some time within the Beltway federal contractor ranks. For obvious reasons the large companies affected are denying the claims because it would/could impact their business model. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is especially worrisome since the federal government and many secure government contractors outsource a significant amount of their data storage and archiving functions to that Amazon business unit. But there is good evidence that this is actually happening to a high degree -- time to put China in the doghouse.

I figured something like this was coming. Ever since those remote activated cameras on school-supplied lap tops were being turned on to "check up" on students at home. Yeah, right! And nobody got prosecuted.  >:(

If I was china I'd be doing the same thing.

 Industrial espionage at it finest and we paid them to implement it.

Huawei, a Chinese owed technology company (mobile phone and network manufacturer), has been banned from supplying a new 5G network in Australia due to espionage fears. According to this article https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45281495 the US has banned them from similar projects for the same reason.

They are just doing what any communist nation worth it salt does. Copying the brain power supplied by capitalism.

Gen. MacArthur wanted to do that during the Korean War.

Would have been a very different world if Gen Patton and MacArthur had their ways. I think we could have won with the new a-bomb but wow there would have been alot of dead when it was all said and done.

Don't forget all the sewing shops and laundromats. We'd all be dirty and naked as well as hungry!
