Cybersecurity risks; America vs.  China
The country I’ve chosen to compare and contrast America’s cyber security concerns with  is China. One of the biggest differences to think about between America and China (and many  developing countries at that) is where we get the software/hardware that run and protect our  businesses, banks, and infrastructure. Microsoft, Norton, Malwarebytes, Intel, HP, all of these  major computer companies are based out of the United States, meaning that every other country  using these products  has to purchase them from us. While I like to believe these companies are  ethical, the argument must be made that they could easily create a security vulnerability within  their own products that they could access or exploit at a later date. As long as these companies  remain dominant in the industry, this risk will continue.  With the exception of Huwaei in China  seeking to export it’s phones and 5G technology to other countries, most large companies within  China ( Didi, the Chinese version of Uber, and JD.com, the Amazon competitor) aren’t seeking to  market to anywhere outside of China.
Another security risk that China, more specifically Chinese citizens, have to contend with  comes from their own government in the form of the new social credit system. Broadly speaking,  the program takes multitudes of data on each individual ranging from their credit score, social  media posts, to whether not not you smoke. All of this data is run through an algorithm that spits  out your score. While this may not sound as dangerous as being hacked or having compromising  information released where you’d prefer it not, the fact that the government is planning on using  these scores to restrict certain freedoms (internet access, air travel from the country) is troubling.  This can be used to essentially control the lives of people the government defines as dissidents,  and could be used to prevent them from fleeing the country is their safety came into question.
