National Security and Global Supply Chain Risk

Quick Summary:

Examine how the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and intelligence services penetrated the supply chain of pagers and walkie-talkies from Taiwan and detonated them among Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon.

An important consideration dealing with China is that although China is typically mostly transactional (and thus somewhat predictable) in its dealings with other nations and companies, it does have long-standing national and ideological goals that might override rational considerations.

China, for example, can threaten the United States with a variety of supply chain disruptions that could seriously affect its prosperity; at the same time, those same actions could have a dramatically detrimental effect on China itself.
