Chinese Military Tech

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

It seems some of the U.S. military’s arms and computer systems use electronic chips manufactured in Communist China that have been secretly outfitted with “back doors.”

Such back doors mean that prospective enemies could commandeer our weapons or computer networks at a moment of their choosing – and to our grave detriment.

It’s clearly intolerable that the Chinese manufacture nearly all the world’s chips – including ones on which we critically depend.  Ditto their controlling the supply of nearly all the planet’s rare earth minerals, equally essential to our weapon systems and security. 

In the future, a China inclined to act aggressively may calculate – rightly or wrongly – that it can exploit its back doors and our dependencies to deter or neutralize any American response.  To prevent war, we must fix such vulnerabilities.
