Summary
A recent discovery is raising concerns over whether America’s electricity could be shut off by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at a moment’s notice. The United States is now investigating solar panels from China, after rogue communication devices were recently found. The issue raises something bigger as well, going back more than a decade, of suspicious Chinese parts and components in everything from U.S. military airplanes to our missile defense system.
