1) Foreigners are all trying to punch you

2) Your government is not

3) The FCC is acting in the citizens' best interest and this is actually the best way to increase security for router consumers.

Are 2 and 3 valid assumptions at the moment? In the extremely polarized US, that probably depends on your political affiliation. From the outside, I can't tell if this is a power grab, protectionism or just a decision I cannot get behind. Vulnerabilities and backdoors in US network equipment prove that "Made in USA" does not necessarily improve security. What the ban does improve is the administration's control over what's sold.
