Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of videos online of people glazing Chinese electric vehicles. How good they are. How fast they are. How well designed and sleek they are. How luxurious the interiors are. How good they are on power. And even how good they are on price. Basically, how they knock it out of the park compared to American EVs.

I’ve also seen quite a few business videos, of people criticizing the United States for not allowing Chinese TVs into our market—for fear it would collapse U.S. auto manufacturing.

Now, that might all be true. However, there’s another factor to consider, which is that when you’re dealing with a Communist nation like China, nothing is ever as it seems. Case in point, Norway is now finding out that the Electric buses they’ve been buying from the Chinese have a backdoor—which allows them to be disabled remotely. i.e. by someone outside of Norway.

Let’s dive into this particular story together, because through it a lot of different issues get exposed to the public including how government officials try to save money by buying from China, only to find out that the stuff they bought contains literal kill-switches that can be activated by Communist cadres in the CCP.
