China’s ‘Backdoor’ Paranoia: Pot Calling the Kettle Black?

China’s Ministry of State Security warns against backdoored devices, urging citizens to ditch foreign tech and buy local. Ironically, this comes from a nation notorious for its own surveillance. Allegations include foreign powers sneaking backdoors into ocean sensors and “evil hands” reaching into China’s waters. Who knew espionage could be this… deep?
