US to remove Chinese computing hardware from federal systems amidst spying concerns
A New U.S. law has been passed forcing some federal agencies to consult with the FBI before purchasing computing hardware from The People’s Republic of China.

With growing concerns over cyber-espionage, President Obama has signed off on a new bill requiring critical agencies such as the Departments of Commerce and Justice, NASA, and the National Science Foundation to request permission from the FBI before purchasing computing infrastructure from China for fears that the hardware may be bugged for spying purposes.


hmmmm very interesting in light of what is going on now

From the looks of it, more Chinese companies may be blacklisted as well, as more and more departments are placed under the newly signed bill. Could this be The U.S.’s way of secretly fighting Chinese competition? To date, their have been no solid reports backing the claim of spying, and a leaked White House report back in October 2012 confirmed that they found no evidence to support a previously issues intelligence document that Huawei MAY have been embedding spying equipment.

Makes me wonder what else may be lurking in the chips. Would it be possible that there is a code in the chips that they can disable anything the chip is in? What if all the electronic goodies "Made in China" suddenly stopped working? For most, this would mean no more car, television., cell phone, you name it.
