Exactly.

Think of this: your computer was probably made in China, and if not, the
parts probably were.

China has big plans for 2020: Chinese man on the moon, Chinese rover to
Mars, Chinese this, Chinese that.

Have any idea how easy it is to program your BIOS to kill your computer on
the first day of Chinese New Year, 2020?

Missile-ready China warns U.S. against plan to destroy spy satellite
By David Lague
Published: February 18, 2008

BEIJING:

In response to a U.S. plan to shoot down a malfunctioning spy satellite,
China has warned against threats to security in outer space, without
mentioning its own successful anti-satellite missile test last year.

But, OK for China:

China has confirmed it carried out a test that destroyed a satellite, ...
China is now only the third country to shoot something down in space

Who do they think they're talking to?
