In "Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War", America's warfighting is crippled as the electronics that were manufactured in China contained backdoors that allowed them to shutdown or destroy the various computer systems.

- Wingman4l7 11y agoThe US military is already wary of this attack vector. Likewise, Australia was leery of letting the Chinese telco Huawei do any work on their National Broadband Network infrastructure.
- pc2g4d 11y agoAny idea how they mitigate it?
- Wingman4l7 11y agoProbably by just limiting their contracts to sourcing only super-expensive US-military-contractor-manufactured milspec electronics.
- toomanybeersies 11y agoIs Australia's case, they're wanting to use American electronics, with American backdoors.
