China doesn’t allow firmware/software on their in country products. It’s all reviewed by them. No reason why the EU, country or etc wouldn’t review the same. No software/firmware update gets pulled without approval on the countries/ISP approval
Of course it wouldn’t arrive via an official approved update channel, but a backdoor. Easy to implement and hide when you write the software. Even VW put manipulated software in their cars before to fake lower emissions. Regulators didn’t notice for a decade. That’s even though it was being actively used, unlike a killswitch that would lie dormant until it’s too late.
