A Chinese man pleaded guilty on Monday to exporting guns and ammunition to North Korea, the Justice Department said.Shenghua Wen, 42, who was living illegally in the United States after overstaying his student visa, was charged with violating long-standing US sanctions against North Korea.Wen, arres...
it’s still illegal to send them to NK from the US because of sanctions and stuff.
What I mean is why send them to North Korea from the US when you could just have a Chinese person in China send them? I think there are probably built-to-task devices that the guy was sending. Which I guess were just freely purchasable in the US? Unless the dude had some special access to buy stuff?
Been rolling it around in my brain and maybe what they found was some kind of radio logging device whose importance was not that it was being shipped but perhaps it was being used to monitor port activities, security, etc, as it traveled through in a container?
There is US military stuff that is mostly built in the US. That’s the one industry they’ve tried to keep in the US. And that probably includes infrastructure like Intel’s chip fabs.
I don’t really think the US military is buying handheld RF analysis tools that are wholly made in the USA. Not for nothing, but the “US MADE” MIL gets a huge amount of shit from China, whether officially or under the table. Regular scandals about x supplier actually using Chinese parts.

Anything built for this task is going to be made in China ultimately
