The polyfill.js is a popular open source library to support older browsers. 100K+ sites embed it using the cdn.polyfill.io domain. Notable users are JSTOR, Intuit and World Economic Forum. However, in February this year, a Chinese company bought the domain and the Github account. Since then, this domain was caught injecting malware on mobile devices via any site that embeds cdn.polyfill.io. Any complaints were quickly removed (archive here) from the Github repository.

Is therea way to ground them for a month while they think about what they did?

Take away his honey No more honey on school nights

Edit: could the US/NATO ground China in some debilliting/deterrent way? Like geopolitically/economically spank them and send them to bed without dinner until they come to Jesus?

All Chinese businesses are owned by the CCP, except the ones that get caught being naughty. Suddenly those are a private business with no ties to the party.

All it would really take is internet providers to black hole the China AS numbers in their BGP configs. Then boom China basically can’t talk to the rest of the world.

This should be done with the new axis of evil and let them see how much they truly hate and “need” the destruction of the decadent West. Its insane their shenanigans are still being tolerated at all, cut em off and let them build their own self-sustaining economies and force the West to eliminate their dependance on mercurial and malicious actors on the world stage.

I don’t know how viable would that be on a large scale, but they could just ban all China-based companies from operating outside like the US did with Tiktok.

I think that would deal a decent blow on their economy, but I’m far from an expert in those fields so someone who knows better will probably come and debunk me.

Like, I just don’t get how anybody benefits from this whole axis of evil bullshit. They like Western shit, they want it and they want to make it all, what the fuck is their problem. The world is all mapped out now so anybody trying to pull bullshit should be sanctioned to shit and excluded (Olympics and everything else included) and leaders all get investigated by ICC until they fuck off

Its the same problem as always: the assholes overstep and expect to be protectef but not bound while everyone else is bound but not protected. It is an exceedinly conservative (cynical) worldview.
