Might have been posted already. Soz in advance if so.

Interesting article about something that seems to have has slipped under the radar here (in Britain).

I do remember reading about the USA rejecting Chinese telecoms attempts to buy into a huge chunk of the home market. Those attempts were rejected by the NSA on security grounds ... and quite rightly so! IMO.

Paranoia ... maybe.

If it is paranoia I would call it deserved paranoia. :doubt:

In the last several months they have found evidence of the power grid being cracked here in the U.S. :lurking:

Source of the code, as of yet unknown. Or so they are telling us. :dry:

Ministers expressed concern that replacing the Chinese components with British parts would clash with government policy on competition. " }-

Worrying when someone in power has this mindset. I thought the first job of a Government is to protect the people.
