From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miliband has been a threat to national security for years!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Telegraph:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Headline<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It sounds like a Hollywood action blockbuster, possibly starring Bruce Willis, Keanu Reeves or Jason Statham: bleary-eyed commuters heading to work on the bus are plunged into a real-life nightmare when it is commandeered by evil Chinese technicians under the orders of Beijing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except rather than just some silly film script, it is the sort of terrifying scenario that could one day occur in this country after so-called <\/em>\u201ckill switches\u201d were found on Chinese buses<\/em><\/a> flooding Europe \u2013 including the UK.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alarming discovery was made by Oslo\u2019s transport operator Ruter after engineers looked under the bonnet of hundreds of electric buses bought from the Chinese manufacturer Yutong.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The detection of software that allowed it to be \u201cstopped or rendered inoperable\u201d remotely by its manufacturer has massive ramifications, not just for our own transport system, but Ed Miliband\u2019s blind pursuit of net zero.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full story here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just buses, as the Telegraph comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s Ming Yang has announced it is <\/em>building a wind turbine factory in Scotland<\/em><\/a>. Yet to allow this to happen would be to ignore warnings from the Ministry of Defence about the installation of sensors in Chinese-made turbines that can spy on British seas, defence submarine programmes and the layout of our energy infrastructure.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yutong has said that it \u201cstrictly complies with the applicable laws, regulations and industry standards of the locations where its vehicles operate\u201d. It also insists that its data is \u201cprotected by storage encryption and access control measures\u201d that \u201cno one is allowed to access or view this data without customer authorisation\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That may sound reassuring but as Sir Iain Duncan Smith quite rightly points out, China\u2019s authoritarian regime is set up in a way that renders such guarantees largely meaningless.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything that China does is covered by the national security law in China, and that means every single company has to co-operate with the Chinese authorities in handing over data,\u201d Sir Iain said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I believe that almost total reliance on China for solar panels, batteries, rare earths and increasingly electric cars is a much bigger security threat than kill switches on buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
