As reported by Reuters, the technology is designed to connect solar panels, wind turbines, and smart home systems—including medical devices, electric car chargers, and heat pumps—to electricity grids.
These systems increasingly support healthcare facilities, emergency prenatal care centers, and diagnostic laboratories, making them vital to public safety.
Electric car chargers, home battery storage, and heat pumps all rely on power inverters, which are primarily manufactured in China.
It is widely known that these inverters contain firmware that allows remote updates, a feature often safeguarded with network firewalls in the utility and insurance-regulated sectors to block unauthorized communication.
However, it has now been claimed that China has embedded a secret ‘kill switch’ capable of physically destroying critical infrastructure in the West during a potential World War III scenario—posing significant liability risks.
Especially for hospital systems and maternity clinics reliant on continuous power.
