Until the Chinese government penalizes these Chinese companies for these insecure practices, they'll continue to be sold as is. China doesn't need to care about Chinese made products sold for export apparently.

Why single out the Chinese government? No government anywhere cares about defective software. "Engineering" is certainly not the correct term to apply to this industry.

To someone not drinking your nationalist kool-aid, it looks rather preposterous to make this about the Chinese bogeyman.
It's only going to get so much worse. Most companies right now are dropping all the standards they still had to ship AI slop code as fast as possible.
Yeah. I subscribe to a mailing list from a data security company that sends me a summary of breaches, daily. I know it is in their interest to keep me worried. But they aren’t making these stories up.
Yes, which is I am so bullish into having this industry getting liability like everywhere else.
Cybersecurity laws are a good start, however thanks to lobbying it will still take decades.
