I'm not sure this is uniquely a China problem

I see an opportunity for an import hurdle masquerading as a security compliance mark on all Chinese imports.

I doubt it will be implemented as there are no western cheap gadget industries left to lobby for it, and the big players would prefer the fud of buy cheap be tracked.

Why single out the Chinese government? No government anywhere cares about defective software. "Engineering" is certainly not the correct term to apply to this industry.

[1] Yahoo loses all of their 3 billion account credentials https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/732712/0000732712170...

[2] Equifax loses PII of 150 million Americans, including their SSNs https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/refunds/equifax-data-breach-...

[3] AT&T loses SSNs of 73 million customers https://about.att.com/story/2024/addressing-data-set-release...

[4] AT&T loses phone call/texting metadata of 110 million customers https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/732717/0000732717240...

[5] Change Healthcare loses medical records of 200 million Americans https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/c...

To someone not drinking your nationalist kool-aid, it looks rather preposterous to make this about the Chinese bogeyman.

To be fair, in many (maybe all?) of those cases, those companies faced consequences. I highly doubt this company is going to face any consequence for this data breach.

Yeah. I subscribe to a mailing list from a data security company that sends me a summary of breaches, daily. I know it is in their interest to keep me worried. But they aren’t making these stories up.

Yes, which is I am so bullish into having this industry getting liability like everywhere else.

Cybersecurity laws are a good start, however thanks to lobbying it will still take decades.

It's only going to get so much worse. Most companies right now are dropping all the standards they still had to ship AI slop code as fast as possible.
