Poorly thought out by a bunch of cold warriors that thought they could use America's centralized technological superiority to do damage to their perceived enemy, China. By labeling Chinese technology, network and apps as "unclean". Of course the problem in that is that what if it is no longer you who decides what is clean and what is unclean? Wouldn't you then regret supporting a system that was hierarchy where an app store at the top could turn things on and off, rather than a network where no single authority is in control? Of course these guys lacked the imagination to imagine that. And they certainly didn't think it would happen just 6 months later ...
