Hidden Chinese communication devices have been discovered inside U.S. energy equipment, raising concerns about cybersecurity and national security.
Multiple hidden Chinese devices have been found in imported solar inverters and battery systems, posing a serious risk to the security of power grids in the U.S. and other countries.
These devices, capable of remote communication, could potentially be used to manipulate energy flow and disrupt power supply, leading to growing unease among experts and government officials.
In response to these findings, there are calls to reduce dependencies on Chinese-made components in critical infrastructure, with some utilities in the U.S. already phasing out inverters from Chinese suppliers.
