Thanks to Make UK for hosting us for an interesting discussion last night with Shadow Roads Minister Bill Esterson, industry & experts about the challenges to the UK car & tech industry from Chinese electric vehicles, the need for secure technology & clear industrial strategy.

Huawei was a wake up call. A new government must act swiftly to address the risks posed by Chinese cellular (IoT) modules - a new area of technology that is already proving a far greater threat. Read the full blog by our Chair Baroness Evans at: cim-coalition.co.uk/uk-tackle-chin…

Thanks to Lord (David) Alton for continuing to raise this issue. It's good to see progress on removing Hikvision cameras, but cellular modules are being used in more & more technologies. We look forward to working with the new government to combat this threat to our security.

🚨NEW🚨Our lead expert Charles Parton has set out 10 priorities for the new government to deal with China, including: ➡️A consistent relationship ➡️Better organised government approach ➡️Recognition of the importance of technology Read in full at: cim-coalition.co.uk/china-the-top-…

NEW📷A short paper by our lead expert Charles Parton aims to be a reference on the threat posed by the CCPs plans to monopolise the supply of CIMs. We welcome the opportunity to discuss the paper to determine what we might do in the way of next steps. cim-coalition.co.uk/reports/

Airfryers are other smart devices could be listening in more than you think. If marketing companies are already gathering data through these gadgets, it's likely that some Chinese-owned companies-obliged to report back to the CCP- are doing the same. thetimes.com/uk/technology-…

We're thrilled to welcome Graeme Downie MP as the new Chair of the Coalition on Secure Technology! With his leadership, we’ll be advancing our mission to highlight the risks posed by Cellular IoT Modules, and other emerging technologies. Stay tuned for more updates! #TechSecurity

Lord Fox warns of China's dominance in IoT (70% market share) and solar (80%+). Subsidised underpricing risks global security, giving China access to critical data and the ability to disrupt infrastructure. A strategic threat we can't ignore.

Baroness D'Souza warns of China's push for a global monopoly in electronic communications tech, controlling 70% of IoT modules. Subsidies, protected markets, and strategic takeovers risk UK security, from infrastructure to defence systems. A critical threat to address.

Thank you to our Chair for highlighting this crucial issue. Strengthening our domestic tech industry is key to protecting the UK's critical national infrastructure. We must wake up the threat of Chinese components and take action. #CyberSecurity

🚨New Report🚨 Our lead expert Charles Parton, in partnership with the Council on Geostrategy, examine potential CCP tech threats & UK strategy on mitigating them. Read the full report at: cim-coalition.co.uk/report/chinese…

Key moment in Parliament this morning: Our Coalition Chair Graeme Downie MP raises an important question about how the Procurement Act will tackle potential risks from Chinese-made CIMs. #NationalSecurity

The long-awaited China audit, now folded into the National Security Strategy, is a step in the right direction—but it is not the strategic reset many of us had hoped for. #ChinaAudit #NationalSecurityStrategy #UKPolicy #SecureTech #UKStrategy #NationalSecurity

The government has taken some useful steps. The investment in intelligence services, the tightening of state threats legislation, and the planned guidance for businesses are all necessary. But these are starting points, not endpoints. #ChinaAudit #NationalSecurityStrategy

Rare earths aren't the only strategic chokehold China holds. Our lead expert Charlie Parton warns of a new 'Rare earths 2.0' threat: Cellular IoT Modules. China already controls 69% of the market - if Beijing dominates CIMs, it could switch us off. fdiintelligence.com/content/0e92b0…
