Electric buses in Norway and Denmark that were manufactured in China were all found to be equipped with a remotely activated kill switch.
Not military equipment like the F35, but stuff that would shut down civil society.

Why worry about explosives when all you need to do is make a phone call.

Isn't this a risk to any "Smart" device that is connected to the Internet? Doesn't have to be a product that is produced by an enemy state as long as there are any security vulnerabilities in the product they could potentially be hacked by a 3rd party. Not sure what the solution is unless you want to roll back the smart device revolution.Electric buses in Norway and Denmark that were manufactured in China were all found to be equipped with a remotely activated kill switch.

Obviously we should avoid products in key systems that are produced by nations that we already consider potential adversaries and we should work on protecting our key infrastructure from potential hacks.

I am not and have not been a fan of IoT, the internet of things. Nor am I a great fan of Bluetooth, especially in production settings. I like hard wire. I like air gaps. I like transferring data through hard media like disks and flashdrives. I like paper documentation.
I agree it slows things down but it allows for supervision and control.

The IDF is recalling hundreds of Chinese made EV's given to Officers, they are worried about the intelligence risk
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are recalling approximately 700 Chinese-made vehicles, primarily the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro model, over espionage fears. Israeli security agencies warned that the vehicles' built-in systems could potentially be used to collect and transmit sensitive information to external servers.
Details of the Recall
Affected Vehicles: The recall impacts about 700 vehicles, mostly seven-seat SUVs from the Chinese manufacturer Chery that were assigned to senior IDF officers and their families. Other Chinese-made models, such as the MG ZS EV, have also been in use by the IDF but the focus of this action is mainly the Chery models.
Reason for Recall: The decision was made following a risk assessment by Israeli security services which determined that the vehicles' electronic systems—including cameras, microphones, and connectivity features—pose a potential threat of data leakage or intelligence collection. The vehicles are considered "computers on wheels" and "mobile intelligence platforms" capable of gathering geolocation and other data.
Timeline and Scope: The process of withdrawing the vehicles is expected to continue until early 2026, starting with officers in sensitive positions.
Previous Measures and Context: Earlier attempts to "sterilize" the media systems and disable connectivity features were deemed insufficient to mitigate the risk fully. This action follows a previous, broader ban on all Chinese-made cars from entering military bases due to similar security concerns.

Tutt, tutt... the residents of Vancouver approve, must be the 'Comintern Factor', so it shall be done
CityNews poll finds widespread support for BC Ferries contract to build ships in China
The contested deal between BC Ferries and a Chinese shipbuilder for four new vessels faced plenty of backlash over the summer from both sides of the aisle.
In August, then Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland expressed her disappointment but went short of calling for the cancellation of the deal.
The contested deal between BC Ferries and a Chinese shipbuilder for four new vessels faced plenty of backlash over the summer from both sides of the aisle.
In August, then Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland expressed her disappointment but went short of calling for the cancellation of the deal.
A poll commissioned by CityNews, over 70 per cent of residents in and around Vancouver would rather see it go ahead.
“When you ask a clear cut question on whether or not people who live in Vancouver and the surrounding area believe that we should cancel the contract, reel it back, re-enter this to try and make it a made in Canada solution, roughly three in four say ‘no, let’s just push on,’” said Canada Pulse Insights CEO John Wright.
He adds that the findings come down to two factors:
- the dire need to add new ferries to an aging fleet and
- the substantial penalties that could be faced by scuttling the deal
Do we need these ferries now? There’s no time to wait,” said Sechelt Mayor John Henderson.
He states that if the poll had been held on the Sunshine Coast, the approval rating would have likely been higher.
While he understands the concerns for those opposed to the purchase, for communities like his, who rely on the ferry service, the time to replace the aging fleet has already passed.
Poll also shows support for Premier Eby
“One of the vessels that I know much more than all the others has over 100,000 hours on its engines, and I mean like anything and anybody, you get old, things don’t work as well as they did. And they start to break.”It’s a long-term purchase with consequences that will be felt for years to come.
“And it’s not as if this might not come back to haunt a politician at some point. But right now, the political capital that the premier has is very significant,” explained Wright.
The poll also found that people in Metro Vancouver have an overall positive view of B.C. Premier David Eby.
A level of trust that may be giving added buoyancy to the ferry deal.
