If i am understanding this right,there is a massive risk of takeover and backdoor entry into systems designed over seas.
They implant a chip or chips that allow some business somewhere to access the hardware and bypass security.
As long as inflation exists so badly over here,businesses will keep buying and assembling over seas for way cheaper costs.

Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

In the US we fought a Revolutionary War to separate ourselves from a culture in which the people were subservient to the government, and our Constitution reflects the limits that the citizens impose on our government. Over a couple of centuries we have drifted some from that concept, but it still remains deeply ingrained in our culture. Our government is not intended to control our society by design. Which is why George Washington declined to be King.
In China no such revolution has ever taken place. Even before the Communists the government was the Emperor, and the citizens served the Emperor. During the Warlord era the government (even the KMT) was the Warlord, and everyone and everything served the Warlord. Now the Communists are the government, and the citizens serve the Communists.
With no limitations placed by their citizenry on the activities of the government, the Chinese government can do pretty much whatever they like. Limitations can only be imposed on the Chinese government from an outside culture.
The Chinese citizens have not yet had their moment of mass awakening, and the Security Services of the Chinese State are not about to allow that enlightenment. There may come a time when the State Security Services join the mob, as what happened during the French Revolution, however with economic ascendancy the Security Services live comfortably, so why should they bother?
Thus, (surprise, surprise) in China, everyone and everything serves the State.
Which is why they spy on their citizens, and spy on you.
