US government recommends IT professionals throw out computers and phones after visiting China
A bit of a scare story coming from the press in Australia. Seems some in the US government have told IT executives to be extremely careful when visiting China. A bit of overkill. You are probably under more of a threat just putting an unprotected system up on the Net.
Senior executives in US IT companies have been advised by the US Government to follow extremely strict policies for visits to China which extend far beyond standard software protection.
The policies encourage them to leave their standard IT equipment at home and to buy separate gear only for use in China.
