Taiwan Battles WHO and China Over Coronavirus - AMD and TSMC Going Strong
Before having a look at Zoom, let's look at Xi JinPing. The CCP dictator Xi Jinping survived the Cultural Revolution launched by Mao Zedong & Co., one of the worst atrocities in human history. Imagine that? Just kill off roughly 30 million of your opposition like bugs. Zi Jinping's father was jailed, humiliated as shown here, and now his son must be returning the favor to the world:
Fox News always has an agenda and the current trajectory is China bashing, but nonetheless, this article is worth noting. Some Chinese tycoon is alleged to have called Xi Jinping a "clown" for handling COVID-19 has disappeared.

What Xi learned from his father
Here is a quick follow up on what is going on with Zoom. Zoom was funded by Sequoia Capital, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm. Zoom picked up $100 million (series D funding; companies with between $25 and $50 million in revenue) in funding from Sequoia Capital in January, 2017. Additional participation in financing came from Emergence Capital (Angel List), Jerry Yang's AME Cloud Ventures, and Qualcomm Ventures. In 2016, Qualcomm had a joint venture in China to "take on Intel" but then in 2019, terminated the joint venture. Good move. Jerry Yang is a Taiwanese-American computer programmer, internet entrepreneur, and venture capitalist. He is the co-founder and former CEO of Yahoo! Inc. What are all these Chinese doing in California inside Silicon Valley and tech firms? Eric S. Yuan is a billionaire businessman and the founder of cloud-based Zoom Video Communications. Sequoia Capital isn't slowing down either despite the coronavirus world-wide economic meltdown, slow down or whatever you want to call it. Sequoia is looking to raise $7 billion to invest and one of their investment targets is China. It really is true? The best time to invest is when there is blood in the streets, only let's rephrase that to coronavirus in the streets.
Sequoia seeks to raise $7 billion for new funds as markets reel
Sequoia Capital was the sole investor in WhatsApp. WhatsApp is an American freeware, cross-platform messaging and Voice over IP (VoIP) service owned by Facebook. WhatsApp admitted in 2019, a major cybersecurity breach that enabled spyware to be installed on phones through voice calls. The security vulnerability affected both Apple's iPhone and Android devices, with malicious code (allegedly) from Israel's NSO Group, transmitted whether or not a user answers an infected call. Israel monitoring around 1,400 politicians, journalists and activists on their views and activities concerning Israel.
So Yuán Zhēng, "missteps" were made were they? Does that account for Zoom relying on servers located in China as a "misstep?" And what about the transcripts that can be obtained from Zoom conferencing on business conferences? How is it that all these Chinese can pick up visas so easily to get into American institutions? How are they vetted at ICE? Want an astonishing figure? As of March 2020, Yuán Zhēng aka Eric Yuan's shareholding in Zoom is worth US$5.6 billion. How fortuitous, at the outset of the coronavirus, usage of Zoom rose 67% from the start of the year to mid-March as schools and companies adopted the platform for remote work in response to the coronavirus pandemic. New York City public schools have subsequently banned Zoom from use in their schools, a decision made by the New York Department of Education.
Zoom boss admits missteps but insists improvements have been made
Have a look at this twitter feed on Zoom being connected to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). Just as Zoom stock roared past $161 per share, a few recognizable names cashed out. Is Janine Pelosi related to Nancy Pelosi? Janine Pelosi is the CFO at Zoom. Notice Emergence Capital cashed out too. Nice profit taking. Way to go, Janine.

Ed. note: Rumor has it on twitter that Sequoia Capital is very CCP friendly. Worth looking into how Wall Street is funding CCP (Michael Bloomberg and Stephen Schwarzman both are pro CCP and a certain state in the Middle East) through private equity firms. Sort of like how Wall Street financed the Third Reich under Hitler. Looks as though Schwarzman has come to the realization of "what have we unleashed by investing" in China? Too late, Stephen, the tech dragon is out of the cage. The Zoom 0-day exploit discovered a couple days ago was a Local Privilege Escalation (LPE). LPE means exploiting bugs in the system either through design flaws or through software applications.
This means the attacker would need to have access to the victim's device (Zoom conference callers in meetings) before running LPE type of attacks. So it is not as serious as Remote Code Execution (RCE), where the attacker can run command remotely. RCE is when an attacker is executing code remotely using system vulnerabilities. System vulnerabilities with Zoom's servers located in China? What does the company have to say about calls routed through China? Oops sorry, it was a mistake.
Zoom routing calls through China, here's what company has to say
But still, as for Zoom's weak End-2-End encryption and how some AES keys (used to encrypt Zoom) are stored/generated in Chinese servers. Even in this article, which the author is arguing for Zoom admits that: "US and China can snoop most Zoom conferences if they choose to, depending on where the encryption key is stored or generated." Which are mostly in the US and some in China. Hope you weren't arranging a drug deal over Zoom? If you are a Zoom user you may want to read this article:

In other words, Zoom is not suitable for conversations involving Top Secret - obviously - clearance topics or even confidential content, highly sensitive intellectual property concerns, dangerous whistleblowing against a repressive government, or planning and executing criminal conspiracies. If these are your remote work activities, Zoom is not right for you. The CCP and US spy agencies including private intelligence networks want to know what your conference call is about. There are roughly 450,000 companies world-wide using Zoom. What is your company sharing? If you are a university using Zoom will your conference or education get "Zoombombed?" Talk about Zoom vulnerabilities?
