The Chinese Are Going to Spy on You With Your Own Car

Chinese spying on U.S. citizens as well as citizens in friendly countries such as the UK, Japan and Germany is nothing new. We all saw the Chinese spy balloon traverse the U.S. last February with an intelligence collections payload the size of a school bus.

We know the Chinese hack every website and communications channel they can find. They send students to the U.S. who get visas, obtain choice jobs on Wall Street, and then keep their Chinese spymasters fully informed on aspects of the banking system, Federal Reserve operations and the status of the U.S. dollar. Even Congressman Eric Swalwell slept with a Chinese spy named Fang Fang.

That’s all bad enough, but it gets worse.

You might think you have privacy in your own automobile. Guess again.

New automobiles have over 1,400 semiconductors each. They control critical functions such as GPS, monitoring tire pressure, recording speed, RPMs, oil pressure, engine temperature, communications systems and much more. It turns out the Chinese are using the highly automated nature of automobiles to spy on the owner.

As described in this article, the semiconductors in your car can record speech, create video recordings, report locations and routes using GPS, and use onboard cameras and facial recognition software to determine who’s in the car starting with you, and including your passengers.

There’s a simple solution to this problem. Don’t buy Chinese cars. Stick with Japanese, U.S. or German if you want a reliable ride. Let the Chinese cars pile up on the docks. They can spy on themselves.
