The new cold war? China could be spying on us through domestic appliances such as the fridge, report warns

新冷战？报告警告称，中国可能通过冰箱等家用电器监视英国人

China can spy on anyone in the UK through smart fridges, light bulbs and other appliances controlled through an app, a report warned yesterday.

昨日一份报告警告称，中国可以通过应用程序控制的智能冰箱、灯泡和其他电器监视英国人。

Microchips embedded in cars and domestic appliances pose a ‘wide-ranging’ threat to national security because China could ‘weaponise’ them to spy on millions of Britons.

嵌入汽车和家用电器的微芯片对国家安全构成了“广泛的”威胁，因为中国可以将它们“武器化”，监视数百万英国人。

The modules are also found in laptops, voice-controlled speakers, smart watches, smart energy meters, doorbell cameras, police body cams, cashpoints, cars and even hot tubs.

这种模块还应用于笔记本电脑、声控扬声器、智能手表、智能电表、门铃摄像头、警用随身摄像头、自动取款机、汽车，甚至热水浴缸。

A report published by the Washington-based consultancy, Observe, Orientate, Decide, Act (OODA), said the UK Government should do something before it was too late.

总部位于华盛顿的咨询机构“观察、定位、决定、行动”(OODA)发布的一份报告称，英国政府应该在为时已晚之前采取行动。

Written by a former diplomat in Beiing, Charles Parton, the report warned: ‘It’s time to wake up – free and open countries should ban Chinese-manufactured modules from their supply chains as soon as possible.’

该报告由前驻北京外交官查尔斯·帕顿撰写，他警告说：“是时候清醒了——自由开放的国家应该尽快禁止中国制造的模块进入其供应链。”

According to the report, three Chinese companies – Quectel, Fibocom and China Mobile – dominate 54 per cent of the global market in smart devices.

根据这份报告，Quectel、Fibocom和中国移动这三家中国企业占据了全球智能设备市场54%的份额。

This month, it emerged that security services had dismantled ministerial cars and found at least one of the devices, sparking fears China could track everyone from the Prime Minister downwards. 

本月，有消息称，安全部门拆除了内阁的汽车，并发现了至少一个装置，这引发了人们的担忧，即中国可能会跟踪从首相到下一级的所有人。

I'm surprised when I find out how much personal information Google and facebook collect that they know everything about you. Seems everyone is used to American supervision

Does that mean I have to put my underpants on when I go into the kitchen now? That's going to upset the ladies.

It's only brexteers up to all sorts of crimes in their council homes that would have a problem with the authorities watching in, I have nothing to worry about

只有脱欧派才会在他们的廉租房里犯下各种罪行，有关部门才会监视他们，我没什么可担心的

What has brext got to do with it and what sort of idiot thinks all brexteers are criminals in council houses? I've a feeling you have plenty to worry about!

Amazon doing a pretty good job spying on you through Alexa. Say something random in its hearing, like I am thinking of having a sundial fitted to my house south facing wall. You thereafter get pop up adverts on the online DM for sundials, builders and bricks.

亚马逊在通过Alexa监视你方面做得很好。在它的耳朵里随便说点什么，比如我想在我房子朝南的墙上安装一个日晷。之后，你会在在线DM上看到弹出的日晷广告。

A report written by an ex-diplomat may not be that definitive so without support from more authoritative agencies I'll take this with a large pinch of salt.

一份由前外交官撰写的报告可能没有那么明确，所以在没有更权威机构的支持下，我将对此持保留态度。

Big difference between 'could be spying on us' and 'is spying on us', more scare mongering from the Western media.

“可能在监视我们”和“正在监视我们”之间有很大的区别，更多的是西方媒体在制造恐慌。
