From the post:

>The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted unanimously on Thursday to advance a proposal that would strip every testing lab in China and Hong Kong of its ability to certify electronics for sale in the U.S., according to a Reuters report. The FCC estimates that roughly 75% of all U.S.-bound electronics are currently tested in Chinese facilities, a level that the agency now considers a national security risk. FCC Chair Brendan Carr said the commission is pursuing actions to limit the interconnection capabilities of entities it considers security threats.

Yeah. I've been a sysadmin for fifteen years. That's why I don't like appliances and prefer to roll my own solution at home. Sucks to suck if work shit is affected, but that's their decision, not mine.
