Why did this threat persist for a decade? Because the revolving door between DC and corporate HQs never stops spinning. It's not about one party's failure; it's about a systemic rot that benefits both, turning security into a commodity.

The admin’s outrage rings hollow. On July 19, Sec. Hegseth vowed China would have "no involvement whatsoever." Yet on July 3, the same admin lifted restrictions on chip-design software sales to Beijing to secure rare-earth minerals. Security is condemned in public but bargained away in private.

This isn't espionage; it's the predictable outcome of a system where national security has a price tag.
