Honestly, I think their concerns are legitimate. They want to make sure the components and software they use won't spy on them. Welcome to 2014 and beyond.

- s_q_b 12y agoOf course it is a legitimate concern, just as tainted food products from China are a legitimate concern, but they are not a big enough concern to warrant the absolutely massive economic risk the new Chinese leaders are taking. Trade wars collapse nations, and this is how they begin. Tit-for-tat escalates quickly, and it is unfathomably reckless for a country that is dependent upon exports to ban products from the largest importer of its goods.
- electic 12y agoThis is a bit beyond food. You can analyze food and deem it safe or not safe. Simple. The FDA does a good job of this. Tech. That is a different ball game. Any part of the device could be vulnerable. The components, the software, or the entire system. That being said, it is very difficult to analyze. When it is difficult to analyze you put your self at massive risk to lose diplomatic strategy, military secrets, financial secrets, and far beyond. Is it worth the risk? Nope.
