The US is trying to do to TP-Link what they did to Huawei. Even though, as the article mentions, TP-Link devices have a US-based supply chain and are manufactured in Vietnam. This is literally just the US not allowing China to own any value-added consuming facing products in the US.
Americans need to be wary of the CIA and NSA, not the CPC. It’s that simple.
It’s incredible how much this flies over the heads of the average person I talk to about security shit.
All the stuff Snowden leaked about the US government owning everyone’s shit has been suppressed in favour of pro-US propaganda about China maybe doing the same thing, without any real publicly provided evidence.
yeah I’m guessing it’s most of the anglosphere. five-eyes stay watchin.
