  • USA: Ban Chinese cars on American roads

    The US Department of Commerce wants to ban Chinese software and hardware in connected cars.

    The authority believes that the technology may pose a threat to the country’s security, reports Reuters.

    – When foreign adversaries build software to manufacture a vehicle, it means it can be used for surveillance. It can be remotely controlled, which threatens the privacy and safety of Americans on our roads, spokeswoman Gina Raimondo said during a press conference.

    She continues:

    – In an extreme situation, a foreign adversary could shut down or take control of all its vehicles operating in the United States. In this way, they can cause crashes and block roads.

    Back in February, the Biden administration expressed concern about Chinese soft and hair products in American cars. An investigation was then added because, among other things, the White House believed that Chinese companies could collect data on American drivers and the country’s infrastructure through the cars.

    The European Commission and EU member states have approved Sweden’s application to be declared free from African swine fever following last year’s outbreak.

    It was in autumn 2023 that African swine fever was diagnosed in Sweden. The serious viral disease affects wild boar and pigs and an infected zone was established shortly afterwards at Fagersta and Norberg.

    The Swedish strategy to combat the infection has since proven to be successful. The Swedish Agricultural Agency, together with the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, SVA, the hunters’ association and other actors, have worked intensively with infection tracking and control.

    – The success factors have been determination and efficiency, says Lena Hellqvist Björnerot, chief veterinarian at the Swedish Agency for Agriculture, and points to, among other things, good cooperation between hunters, municipalities and authorities, as well as the “incredible compliance” shown by the residents of the affected area in Fagersta.

Then the risk of overdosing and ultimately dying increases, says Kristian Malzoff, Commissioner at Noa, National Operational Department at police website.
