T his gets the award as the odd story of the Year. A US military base tears out cameras made by a Chinese government company in what they call “an abundance of caution”. What would you call buying cameras from a Chinese government company if it was cautionary to remove them?
I wish we had thought more about this kind of thing because government owned Chinese companies are making a lot of equipment much more than cameras. If they are serious about this, really look at the issue rationally. Routers, especially those for all the major telecoms in the US, are the best examples of how we put ourselves at risk every day. Security equipment isn’t just limited to cameras. Anti-virus is being taken over by China, and the Russians showed what can be done with that. This is an issue looking for debate, not something this simple.
