China’s Trojan horse could be on your roof. Last month, that was the warning from engineers in American solar farms, who found “kill switches,” a mechanism designed to shut down or disable a device, in Chinese-made solar parts when doing a security check. These parts are already embedded in homes, businesses, and utilities across the country. They could be used to sabotage our electrical infrastructure from the inside.
It’s not just about spying. It’s about control. Through parts like these, Beijing could cripple key parts of the American economy without firing a shot. And these solar components are just one example of a much larger, more dangerous problem.
