Cyberpenetration

Uproar over Trump dropping demand China cease cybertheft? Reality: China&US cyberpenetrate each other's newest technologies. "Deal" cannot solve problem: US private industries need to implement much stronger, more costly shielding of US tech advances https://t.co/QvootAf9Au

Important to understand: Backdoors in chips (made wheresoever) cannot be detected by external data analysis as long as they "sleep". The only way to detect such moles would be to analyze the silicon. That's possible, but extremely expensive.

It Is Requisite That Great Numbers of People Should Be Ignorant

… in a free Nation where Slaves are not allow’d of, the surest Wealth consists in a Multitude of laborious Poor; for besides that they are the never-failing Nursery of Fleets and Armies, without them there could be no Enjoyment, and no Product of any Country could be valuable. To make the Society happy and People easy under the meanest Circumstances, it is requisite that great Numbers of them should be Ignorant as well as Poor. Knowledge both enlarges and multiplies our Desires, and the fewer things a Man wishes for, the more easily his Necessities may be supply’d.

Bernard Mandeville, The Fable of the Bees or Private Vices, Publick Benefits, 1714
