That definitely is where we are vulnerable, though both are solvable if the political will is there.

If.

Hope some folks left at USDA are left to help get the farmers some Plan "B" diversion for Soybean sales.  Outside subsidies.
Our farms are projected to have a tough year.

Alot though of the most basic commodities are still made here.


A whole lot are not. And more than basic commodities are involved.

China makes alot of useless trinkets, things that are not often bought, and things that can be bought from other countries.

True, but not true. YES they make a whole lot of useless crap - But they also make a whole lot of the good crap that makes your things go. You'd be hard pressed to take 'Made in China' out of your house.

What I see is that those countries that want to play ball are going to see a ramp up in production, leaving China out of the loop.

Fine. That won't happen RIGHT NOW. That will happen two years from now. And won't happen at all in several areas of interest - Electronics being one of them.

If China can no longer send its junk here, where will they send it? Mars?

Give it a shot Xi .....

ANYBODY can know. EEPROMS ain't rocket science. Neither is de-compiling software.

Hardware is where the espionage hides...

Hardware is hard put without software - especially if it is phoning home encrypted... without detection from sniffers. It requires a port, and any decent router will log that. Any decent sniff would detect that.

Far easier to obfuscate at the soft level or driver level... phoning home because updates... obfuscation and/or encrypted to protect intellectual work... But then the risk is what can be found by a decompiler in the hands of even a mid-level geek like me...

Any way you play, it is pretty hard to hide from a fixed point. From within a router, and very probably from within a domain.
