Die FCC stimmt aus Gründen der nationalen Sicherheit dafür, allen chinesischen Labors die Zertifizierung von in den USA verkauften Elektronikgeräten zu verbieten – die Entscheidung würde 75 Prozent der in die USA gelieferten Geräte betreffen

Dust those draft cards off kids, we are entering interesting times.
China has been found to bug equipment with backdoors.
Fun fact: the US government also puts backdoors in equipment manufactured here
These are things we learned from the Snowden leaks.
„Basic FCC certification testing runs between $400 and $1,300 at Chinese labs, compared with $3,000 to $4,000 at U.S. equivalents.“
Wonder who’s gonna eat that?
China doesn’t need the us if they have the rest of the world.
We fear that their NIST will begin to pull the type of stunts that NIST engages.
We to find out who was lobbying for this law. And who they paid. These are the same people who made companies go outside of the USA to make their products. This is the result. They should have saw this coming.
RIP PPLP PSU Lab reports
Stuff’s gonna get more expensive?
I’m going to miss having electronics in my house.
This regime just can’t stop grifting.
Box of routers for sale! PM me, only 6x their msrp
(For jokes ofc)
This is just more US protectionist policies. The Trump admin. just sucks.
So, they just have to pay Don Jr a fee right?
I wonder if Underwriters Labs lobbied for this
If chinese labs meet the same requirements as U.S labs. Then its not about safety concerns. Its about snuffing out competition.
lol, national security matters now? We have literal Russian assets and criminals running the government.
The most compromised administration in history is suddenly worried about security? Horseshit. This is an opportunity to grift, nothing else.
where does flock, and ring come from? just curious
So Americans are spying on Americans and this is the focus…
„Nobody can spy on our people but us!“
– US govt, definitely
I’m tired of this shit
So much winning !
Líderes americanos neuróticos
Do it. And collapse.
So the Steam Machine and Steam Frame are never coming out.
More heavy fisted, immediate deadline policy with deliberate disregard for lack of bracing infrastructure.
For anyone not keeping track, this was laid out in Project 2025 inside the same chapter discussing putting tarrifs on all the countries and *reciprocal* tarrifs.
Low key, I’m more concerned about my own government knowing my info than China or Russia. Just saying.
National security, terrorirists, children – or a combination of those.
If you see those concerns „mentioned“, you know it’s mostly salt.
Thank God we are so stupid
And all this red tape will magically disappear with TRUMP COIN purchases
All of this – banning Chinese-certified electronics, banning Chinese-made drones, banning Chinese cars…on the suspicion that maybe the Chinese are spying on us. Why doesn’t anyone demand proof of these suspicions before we pull the rug out from under them or potential buyers here in the States?
It’s obviously a move to keep out the Chinese EV’s that US car manufacturers cannot compete against.
Doing things like banning foreign consumer routers could make sense… IF we had a domestic router manufacturing capability to protect / grow.
BUT WE DON’T.
God damn this country is such fucking garbage.
Motherfuckers. They’re just *determine* to kill small businesses, aren’t they? For small companies like mine, that’s the only way it’s affordable to get your stuff tested.
The „security risk“ thing is absolute bullshit. When I have a device tested, they’re not making changes and slipping it back somehow. They don’t get anything the end user doesn’t get. It’s not like they have to see your firmware or your schematics. You send them a device, they measure how much interference it produces, and you get a report back. For many devices it’s not even worth the shipping to have them send back the tested device and they can just throw it away.
This doesn’t just apply to things like phones. Nearly *any* digital device you sell commercially is supposed to have EMC testing done – anything with a clock rate faster than a digital watch, basically.
Haha just saw Donny yesterday bragging about how “great” his meeting in China with Xi is going to go in a couple weeks.
The delusion is way past anything we can control
As a US citizen I’d rather China spy on me and collect my data rather than the US government, China aint the ones trying to sniff out democrats
Should massively cut back on battery fires
Cool cool. Always wanted a stagnant us tech sector while the rest of the world catches up and eventually leaves us behind. What a fucking joke.
Bigger question is why do we have Chinese labs doing our certs?
Cool, I was tired of everything being so cheap and affordable these days
And yet they bought Tik Tok for government use, a device owned and operated by the CCP and linked to espionage.
Don’t worry they’ll make “exemptions” for the companies that make contributions to things like the RNC…or Trump-owned properties and hedge funds. Nothing to see here! /s
