And this has been a retarded strategic choice for generations.

"Oh we'll just let our enemies build all of our stuff, that way the economic dependency means they won't be our enemies anymore. There's no possible way they would just use this to gain the upper hand now that we've made ourselves dependent upon them."

Goddamn fucking boomers doing everything they can to ensure this country is destroyed.

its not boomers who sold out the US industry to China

that's just jews, they did the same in Australia and Canada because its "cheaper" to just ship materials to China have the shit manifactured there and then shipped back then just pay local labor a decent fair wage

though in truth its less about giving fair wage and more about denying jobs to Whites and giving jobs to Nons

they do the same shit with India

I'm not saying it wasn't the jews, because it was. However boomers were the watch on guard when it all happened.

Look here, Junior, by selling my company to the Chinks, I got two million dollars and stock options. Do you know how many cruises I have been on since?!?!?

Sophos bought their "SFOS" product from India. Literally just acquired it.

Look how embarrassing their employees, products, and responses are:

It's 35 minutes. I encourage anyone interested to set aside the time and watch it. It's fucking amazing what these "American Companies" are getting away with.

Should have been done ages ago. Telecommunications infrastructure manufacturing should have never been allowed to leave the US.

And now that it has, and now that we’ve banned it all without a single shred of it being produced here, we’ve purposely crippled ourselves to the benefit of our enemies.

Router prices about to spike. Next step: ban foreign made memory.

This means two things.

  1. Foreign governments are spying on everyone through their routers.
  2. The USA is spying on everyone through American made routers.

So, make sure a government that doesn't care about you is who makes your router. I'd say North Korean routers would probably be best.

Yeah I’d be in favor of all the stuff being made in the US but I’d also rather China get to spy on me than the NSA.

Not that I’m sure a router would make any difference. In most cases they already have the ISP and the OS

But if you are a US company or US government agency it is best the NSA spies on you instead of a foreign adversary.

Are you serious?

First of all, strictly speaking the "best" thing would be if all governments just fucked off.

But second, having your government spy on you is literally the worst. What the fuck is China or Russia gonna do to you, an American citizen living in the USA? Run up your credit card on some crypto scam?

The NSA steals US intellectual property from US businesses like the Chinese do? It seems a little weird to steal from yourself.

Probably far, far too late to try and stop that horse that already left the barn, broke its leg during the race, and has been holding wargaming miniatures together for years as glue.

Routers, switches, access points or gateways? Since everyone seems to use them interchangeably.

Routers: For the purpose of this determination, the term “Routers” is defined by National Institute of Science and Technology’s Internal Report 8425A to include consumer-grade networking devices that are primarily intended for residential use and can be installed by the customer. Routers forward data packets, most commonly Internet Protocol (IP) packets, between networked systems.

It's consumer-grade routers using the proper definition of routers. Does that definition technically also include switches? We'll find out...
But I think what they're really interested in are Internet gateways that have laymen as admins.

The fact that we haven't done this sooner is baffling to me. All computer components and accessories from China are suspect by default. Backdoors everywhere...

Carney is probably tripping over himself in rush to offer China to ship those spyboxes over to Canada.

Reminder that a semi-secret investigation by the feds in Canada confirmed that yes the CCP managed to secure elected positions for its puppets, but sealed the report so that nobody is allowed to know who those confirmed CCP puppets are.

Misleading title, they have banned "new imports", if you have a foreign router already it is legal to have.
