China put spy microchips in servers used by Amazon and Apple, report says

China secretly inserted surveillance microchips into servers used by major technology companies, including Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., in an audacious military operation likely to further inflame trade tensions between the United States and its leading source of electronics components and products, Bloomberg Businessweek reported Thursday morning.

You've got to wonder what's in the smart phones these days.

Our government knows. They were trying to shut down the sales from ZTE supposedly for making deals with Iran and NK in violation of trade agreements, but I would think it was more likely they could be the ones doing the spying through those devices and attempting to shut anyone else out from doing so.



It's not just a question of outsourcing for profit like Kiki mentions.


It's the bigger idea that you've got a few billion people worldwide using this technology that has absolutely no idea what exactly they're carrying around. Hell... I've been a tech geek all of my life and I only have a vague idea what is going on. Today everybody's grandma is on facebook.

Well ... very specifically about China ... people have known for DECADES that Chinese electronics come pre-loaded with spyware and malware. In general China has a very parasitic agreement with corporations: give us access to ALL your associated technology, and we'll make low cost units for you. Basically, we're handing over our fishing now in order to buy the fish later. Or, teach a man to fish, give him your fishing pole, and he will never go hungry. But you might.

In any case, this is literally the only place I post. I'm not on any social media, and I still have my stupid phone (please keep working, little one). I'm sure I've been spied on down my tonsils and up my wazoo (THANKS! google; THANKS! amazon; THANKS! bank and credit card companies; THANKS! internet provider). I just don't see the need to give my information away.

INTERPOL'S TOP (CHINESE) COP GOES MISSING

Quote:

Interpol Begs Beijing For Information On Europe's Top Cop

Following reports that Interpol chief Meng Hongwei, 64, had been "taken away for questioning" by Chinese disciplinary authorities almost immediately after arriving in China last week, Bloomberg reported that the supranational law-enforcement agency had formally asked Beijing for "a clarification" about Meng's status.

Meng, who is also a deputy minister for public safety in China though he had been living with his family in Lyon, France, where Interpol's headquarters is based, was reported missing by his wife earlier this week, prompting prosecutors in France to open an investigation. That investigation is continuing despite confirmation that Meng is being held by the Chinese government.

"Interpol has requested through official law enforcement channels clarification from China’s authorities on the status of Interpol President Meng Hongwei," Juergen Stock, secretary general of the organization based in Lyon, France, said in a statement. "Interpol’s general secretariat looks forward to an official response from China’s authorities to address concerns over the president’s well-being."

Meng is also China's deputy minister of public security and has 40 years of experience in policing and public safety. His experience includes stints working on narcotics enforcement and counter-terrorism, according to Interpol’s website. While many at Interpol feared Meng would abuse his position to encourage foreign governments to extradite Chinese dissidents living abroad, instead, he appears to have taken an interest in cybercrime enforcement since his election in November 2016. His term is set to expire in 2020.

Meng's family hasn't received any information about his status since he left France on Sept. 29. Nobody from the French of Chinese governments returned Bloomberg's request for comment.

While the exact justification surrounding Meng's capture remains murky, the South China Morning Post reported that Meng may be the latest target of the Chinese government's anti-corruption campaign.

If true, this is clearly bad news for Meng and his family, and brings to mind the fate of another prominent Communist Party official, Bo Xilai, a former municipal party chief known for his crackdown on organized crime and corruption. Bo was stripped of his status and eventually sentenced to life in prison. Others who have been prosecuted under Chinese President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption crackdown have suffered an even worse fate.

The "regrets" that come afterwards don't stop them from doing the same thing, or worse, even faster and harder in the future.

Taiwan says seeking long-range cruise missiles from U.S

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan is seeking to acquire long-range, air-launched cruise missiles from the United States, a defense official said on Monday, as the Chinese-claimed island bolsters its forces in the face of increasing pressure from Beijing.

While Taiwan is developing its own long-range missiles, to give it an ability to strike back deep into China in the event of war, it has also looked to the United States to help provide it more advanced weaponry.

EU blames China for endangering peace in South China Sea

BEIJING (Reuters) - The European Union called out China on Saturday for endangering peace in the South China Sea and urged all parties to abide by a 2016 tribunal ruling which rejected most of China's claim to sovereignty in the sea, but which Beijing has rejected.

The EU last week released a new policy aimed at stepping up its influence in the Indo-Pacific region to counter China's rising power.

Why are Australian officials hinting at war with China?

For a country with a much smaller military and no nuclear weapons, Australia is suddenly hinting an awful lot about a war with China.

On April 25, the symbolic date of Anzac Day, when Australia honors its war dead, newly appointed Defense Minister Peter Dutton said a conflict with China over Taiwan shouldn't "be discounted," adding that Australians needed to be "realistic" about tensions around the region.

In another Anzac Day message, the top official at Australia's powerful Home Affairs department, Mike Pezzullo, told his staff "free nations" were hearing the "drums of war" beating again.

A few days later, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced $580 million in military upgrades. One week on, several newspapers published a confidential briefing by Australia's Maj. Gen. Adam Findlay to special forces soldiers, in which he said conflict with China was a "high likelihood."

Europe put an observation satellite on Mars but can not land, it had failed landers, Russia back in the days of the USSR launched some Marsnik-3 Soviet spacecraft but it transmitted for fractions of a second and failed, the Russian craft lived for 110 seconds and transmitted only a gray image with no details.
At one time Mars was thought to have aliens. NASA sent mission to Mars and found an empty, cratered world, then two space probes Vikings 1 and 2, some speculate the Viking landers found life under the red soil on Mars in 1970s?
NASA has since sent five robotic vehicles, called rovers, to Mars.

Only the United States NASA and now China have now been successful putting spacecraft safely on Mars.

Isn't that pretty. If you have concerns about China's only power, it's naval power, check out the videos I've posted below. They should ease your concerns.

Is China going to claim resources on the Moon or are Chinese going for Mars?


Pictures from China’s Mars rover fuel NASA chief’s funding pitch to Congress

/
The first pictures from a Chinese probe on the surface of Mars were released May 19, sparking a plea from NASA’s recently appointed chief for more funding to keep America in the lead on the space frontier.

China’s Zhurong rover, which landed on the Red Planet on May 14, sent back pictures as it sat atop its landing platform on the flat plain of Utopia Planitia. One picture provides a rover’s-eye view of the ramp that the six-wheeled robot will use to roll down onto the surface.
...


Quote:

In a statement, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson congratulated the China National Space Administration on the Zhurong rover’s pictures.


...

Nelson’s statement may have sounded collegial toward China, but during a House subcommittee budget hearing, he warned lawmakers that China was “a very aggressive competitor” in space exploration. Nelson said China’s space successes should spark concern about funding levels for NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to send astronauts to the moon by the mid-2020s and then onward to Mars.

The administrator pointed to China’s plans to send future landers to the moon’s polar regions, which are thought to hold deposits of water ice. Such deposits could be converted into rocket fuel as well as drinkable water and breathable air for future lunar residents. That’s why China — and NASA — are targeting the lunar south polar region for robotic missions and eventually human exploration.
