None of this talk of Chinese companies using backdoors in potential wartime scenarios matters now, it would take years for the Chinese to set up the proper infrastructure and distribution. Trump has Just Fired Tillerson and replaced him with Pompeo, a known hawk on North Korea. So the Strike on North Korea is a Go, the strike on NK is likely very soon. China and Russia will do nothing because 1). MAD still Applies 2). Neither China or Russia is currently Hegemon, the US is. Also Both Russia and China have survivable second-strike abilities Just like we do, An American strike on North Korea would therefore NOT be a "use it or lose it scenario" for them.
