I've posted before of my Son being head of cyber security for a global port/shipping container business.

I had discussed with him the hacking of navigation systems for the huge cargo ships transporting these containers around the globe. I always thought that was the biggest cyber threat to our supply chain.

His work travel for over a year has been to go to major port cities (Rotterdam, Bremerhaven, Antwerp, New Jersey, Savannah, Long Beach, etc) and go up into the cranes and loading equipment with a 5G scanner and uncovering all of the Chinese chips used in the manufacture of this equipment that does surveillance and also has the ability to be "neutralized" at any time.

I'm not saying this tech is dwelling in your Chinese manufactured backhoe but it should give some people pause when making equipment purchases.
