At some of the world’s most sensitive spots, authorities have installed security screening devices made by a single Chinese company with deep ties to China’s military and the highest levels of the ruling Communist Party, Market Beat reports.
“The World Economic Forum in Davos. Europe’s largest ports. Airports from Amsterdam to Athens. NATO’s borders with Russia. All depend on equipment manufactured by Nuctech, which has quickly become the world’s leading company, by revenue, for cargo and vehicle scanners.
“Nuctech has been frozen out of the U.S. for years due to national security concerns, but it has made deep inroads across Europe, installing its devices in 26 of 27 EU member states, according to public procurement, government, and corporate records reviewed by The Associated Press.”
The problem is that China could (and undoubtedly will) exploit Nuctech equipment to sabotage key transit points or get illicit access to government, industrial or personal data from the items that pass through its devices.
The CCP has subsidized the company, undercutting competitors. It gives Beijing a political advantage over critical infrastructure in the West.

The CCP isn’t the only problem. Both Intel and AMD have firmware back doors in their newer Processors which is driven by the US Government. Don’t get me started on Windows. How do you think the NSA can get into everything? Governments aren’t serious about security, they want to be able to spy on everyone. If you want something secure, air gap it, and bury it the back forty when not in use. Nothing is secure on the internet or even behind a locked door anymore. If the Government doesn’t like what you are doing or saying they will shop judges and get a fishing permit to destroy your house looking for anything they can use against you. If they fail at that, they will just throw you in jail as a political prisoner like the people accused of insurrection on 6 January 2021. They will threaten you with jail and bankruptcy if you don’t do what they want. The Federal Government is seriously too big and dangerously out of control.
The first manufacture who doesn’t play along with the Security State, and survives, will make a fortune. Is Elon Musk listening? Most people don’t realize that Musk is actually South African and South Africa has some of the strongest Internet Security in the World. Ubuntu Linux is very South African in it’s concepts of security. The Internet can be secure, but it will take getting Governments out developing and controlling the technology – Good Luck!
