Austin Bay: Time to rid the world of China’s Trojan horse communications gear

Conceivably, the Chinese systems are offensive weapons: Trojan horses with intercontinental power. The Chinese Communist Party could use these pseudo-civilian systems to launch a cyber-Pearl Harbor attack on an adversary possessing them. The attack could damage the adversary’s economy (e.g., shut down banking). If executed quickly and pervasively, the sneak attack could disrupt military communications channels and disable high-tech sensors.
