Joe Biden Just Made it Easy for China to Hack Our Electric Grid

The recent winter storm that crashed Texas’s electric grid brought untold suffering to tens of millions within the state. That calamity is but a small taste of the potential suffering that could be visited upon hundreds of millions by power breakdowns deliberately caused by imported equipment within the grid itself.

The recent winter storm that crashed Texas’s electric grid brought untold suffering to tens of millions within the state. That calamity is but a small taste of the potential suffering that could be visited upon hundreds of millions by power breakdowns deliberately caused by imported equipment within the grid itself.

Secret “back doors” in transformers and generators imported from such adversaries as China and Russia could enable those countries to shut down the entire national electric grid, throwing the entire country into chaos.

Recognizing this threat, the Trump administration issued Executive Order 13929, declaring a national emergency with respect to the nation’s electric grid and prohibiting the acquisition or installation of “any bulk-power electric equipment designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied, by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction of such foreign adversaries.” In addition to China and Russia, the order identified North Korea, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela as “foreign adversaries.”

The order was a shrewd and timely response to a growing threat. Unfortunately, that Executive Order has now been suspended.

Last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. officials had seized a Chinese-built transformer they suspected had been secret capabilities that could allow distant adversaries to monitor or even disable it. Cybersecurity expert Joseph Weiss told the Journal that officials had found “electronics that should not have been part of the transformer (i.e., hardware back doors) that could secretly allow the Chinese to gain effective control of the transformers.” Weiss added that as far back as 2001, China was caught trying to hack into a U.S. grid in California. He further contends that the Russians have been “in” the U.S. grid since 2014.

“The meeting will take place following Secretary Blinken’s meetings with two of our closest regional allies in Tokyo and Seoul. Secretary Blinken and NSA Sullivan will discuss a range of issues with the PRC,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement. “Secretary Blinken will return to Washington, D.C., on March 19.”

Price added in a Wednesday tweet that the four will discuss “a range of issues, including those we disagree on.”

‘Bought and Paid For’: Biden Capitulates to CCP with Alaska Meeting

Joe Biden already capitulated to the Chinese Communist Party before he even has a meeting.

“Donald J. Trump for the first time in history stood up and said, ‘Hey these are bad people…they’re an existential threat to us at every level and I’m going to confront them,’” Bannon said.

Now, Biden is setting a meeting in Anchorage, Alaska to be “deferential” to the Chinese.
