Do you feel safe allowing China to target your family with bombs built into your consumer electronics?

I hope you aren't implying that I dispute any of that.
With IoT, you greatly enable remote detonation of explosive devices built into any IoT device. You are no longer limited to telecommunication devices. Solar panels are reported to have exploded. That's because they can be put on a network.
Do you want China to be able to manufacture everything to be like this?
I don't want ANY PARTY, not USA (CIA), not CHINA (MSS), not Israel (Mossad) to have that capability.
They've all shown that they can kill us with no remorse, no hesitation, regardless of nationality or creed.
I trust none of them.
Yet, here we are.
We need regulations that all wireless operations are clearly disclosed and able to be turned off without the device turning them back on later. We also need a product that can detect wireless network activity.
But the main thing is to make electronics in Western countries so that bomb implants are rare and operations like this have a smaller impact.
I'd love that. In a better world....
However, neither US, EU, UK, CHI, IND, RUS or IRL - esp the intelligence agencies bow to ANY regulations. They break them all at will.
And looking at news for the past 4 years, western countries and their military and intelligence agencies have zero qualms about killing their own population.
So, better just to be aware, and protect yourself, to the extent you can.
