Dave, My concern with CCP technology is about cybersecurity. I have read reports that Chinese cranes, vehicles, and other devices may be susceptible to hacking. And the FBI Director has warned that the U.S. commercial utilities are vulnerable to CCP interdiction. We need to develop resiliency in our utility & defensive systems as we enter this era of Great Power Competition. Just my $0.02 worth.

Thanks for your comment, Charlie. I've been suspicious of U.S. utilities including gear manufactured in China in their systems for many years. I agree with the Huawei equipment ban in our phone systems. I feel awkward sometimes, but Xi's antagonistic view of western cultures, and his endorsement of Russian, Iranian and North Korean warmongering have to be taken seriously.
