This deal with the Chinese has some interesting reveals about POTUS' vision for information security. ZTE was recently banned from being sold at Military bases because the phones are comped tracking devices like the rest of them except these not comped by americans so it makes it more of a liability.

POTUS twitter confirms that in order for ZTE to do business here(pic related) they will have to purchase parts from us. I would wager that the parts are the ones that will someday have to pass some degree of security audit. Processing Units, RAM, Radio/Other networking chipsets, the important stuff.

Why you should care:

Not a ton of people realize how bad the info situation really is but from the perspective of someone who does it appears that POTUS is working to solve this problem in it's entirety. Very exciting times.
