They're talking about making Chinese drones, including hobby drones, illegal. I'd be amazed if they did that while letting a compute node on wheels drive 15k miles yearly in America gathering data and phoning home.
Why are we ok with domestic manufacturers doing this though
Well, I agree with you, but china is a military threat to the US and its allies. Look at what happened in Lebanon today. The CCP would definitely use commodity technology to assassinate people.
You would be the first person I've heard blaming China for the pager attack.
Edit: yea, it's way better to baselessly suggest China would conduct a mass assassination
Dude, you're missing the context completely. It's an analogy.
But China is not any more or less likely than any other country to do this type of thing; it really seems like you're associating them with that terrorist attack for no particular reason other than to take advantage of people's imagination.
I don't even know why you'd jump to tie those two things together.
Yet the only example is of a western ally pulling that shit.
