> Chinese scary!
Chinese nationals should be assumed to act on behalf of China, it really isn't difficult to understand even for pathologically empathetic people.if you have evidence that they have Chinese nationals working as engineers without oversight, you should submit it to the government.
You really think that’s how that conversation would go?
> What part of this would a Tesla, or any other car, not be able to do?
Tesla computers are not capable of maintaining steering control when the user is physically moving the steering wheel. does BYD have similar restrictions? can you trust them?this discussion has reached the limit of its usefulness. if you aren't able to see why having nationals in an adversary nation be in control of dangerous hardware on your soil is a big problem, nothing will aid you in understanding this.
If you've managed to come away from this discussion with the impression that I think it's no big deal to have adversaries in control of dangerous hardware on your soil, then I do have to agree that this discussion has reached the limit of its usefulness, because I said nothing of the kind.
I acknowledged this, you quoted it.

Where does 'it' end? Is the subsidiary not operating at the behest of their parent? I need to know when it's safe to no longer be scared.

corporations are financial fictions. the risk I am discussing is literally the mass destruction and murder of civilians during a time of war. individuals carrying it out will be subject to sanctions (including elimination), only those who are protected by their government will carry out such instructions.and therefore national security focuses on firms which have engineers that are protected thus.
