Its not just spying that is of concern. If we get into a serious confrontation with China, as in a shooting war, these Chinese products could be programmed to receive and act on a kill signal sent via satellite, RF or WIFI and just shut down. Think about that for a moment. Every Chinese 2 way radio shuts down. Every Chinese router or data switch. Every Chinese solar panel and charge controller. Every Chinese refrigerator/freezer, big screen TV, cell phone, computer or car with Chinese electronics installed. Great way to bring a nation to its knees without firing a shot.

I have been saying for a long time 80% of the people in this country would be found hanging in their garage if their phones went dark for more than 5 working days.
