Wait does this mean they are cloned like every other Chinese factory made product? Are they made in Chinese factories?
Nope, they are official resellers for China (and Mongolia?)
Edit; which in my view makes it worse, Elon probably wanted this to happen....
ITAR is pretty direct about these situations: if you sell to a 3rd party and that 3rd party sells to an ITAR-restricted country, you're gonna get investigated HARD.
I think starshield is the only one that's ITAR controlled
I don't know the specifics of how it applies to Starlink, but I work in telecom and just about everything I do is ITAR controlled. I don't even make the telecom devices, just equipment to test them.
