GT Voice: CrowdStrike outage calls for reflection on who is real threat

For those who may have further questions, it is important to note that as one of the most important cybersecurity companies in the US, CrowdStrike has made almost no attempt to expand its business in the Chinese market. Instead, it has often made baseless attacks and accusations against China and Chinese companies. Because of this, many Chinese companies don't use CrowdStrike's software.

For instance, the company said in its latest annual cyber threat report that last year, "China-nexus adversaries continued to operate at an unmatched pace across the global landscape, leveraging stealth and scale to collect targeted group surveillance data, strategic intelligence and intellectual property."

However, the company's strategy of smearing and excluding China has unexpectedly made the country one of the least affected major economies in the latest tech outage.
