China is the world's largest manufacturer of hardware which gives it unequaled capabilities for hardware backdoors.[1] Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, states the Chinese government ordered backdoors to be installed in devices made by Huawei and ZTE Corporation and also sources this with a recent passage of China's new anti-terrorism law that requires telecommunications operators and Internet service providers to provide the Chinese government with "backdoor" access to their products.[8]
